Art, media, opinion and ideas
Hello all,A cheery change from grumbling about the Four Courts broke through last week when Tuppenceworth, at close to no notice, had its first get together in real life. Special thanks to Fergal, Mary, Emma and their friends for turning up and making sure that I didn't stare out the window in the Library Bar all by myself.
See here and here for the story so farReceived today:Dear Mr McGarrI write to you and your co-signatories further to Mr X's letter to you dated the 24th November 2005. I wish to advise that pursuant to Part 9 of S. I.
Last time, I posted the link to my script for an animated hardboiled, Raymond Chandler-style detective story, aimed at children- Hugh PI. This time, I decided to push the boat out and go for a full sized Biblical Epic. Hugh Exodus is now available through a Creative Commons licence.
Ciaran Cuffe is the Green Party's spokesman on Justice and a TD for Dun Laoghaire. He has a blog. Taking a look, the only recent Justice related posting is on a visit to Templemore on Minority Recruitment Day.
Do you know, in the five years that Tuppenceworth has been running, I never once thought of a meet-up?So, I suggest I remedy this error. What say people (in comments, for preference, but email will be ok too) to a meeting next Friday the 20th at 8ish?. I'll suggest the Library Bar in the Central Hotel in Wicklow St in Dublin, but it might be packed.
Now, this is an experiment. I've got a few scripts I wrote years ago stashed away in the computer here. And a few days ago TCAL reminded me that some of them might be good.
I've written before on the topic of online libel, so my interest was piqued by word of mass suspensions from private girls' school Alexandra College for online bullying. There are two stories on the topic in today's Independent (registration required, but bugmenot may be able to help you out in that regard).
From the Comments to Liz McManus Blog[To preface my comments, I’m the Mayor of Letterkenny and have been blogging actively since June ‘05]On my website, I try to include everything I can that is of relevance in the post. It’s vital; people don’t like following links. I’d also consider it important to try to keep the information together.
There was some discussion of my previous post on Proinsias De Rossa's vote, making him the only Irish MEP to vote in favour of the Data Retention Directive passed in December of last year. (More comments here and here)I posted his statement following the vote. Now I thought I'd post his response to my email, which landed with me today.
I noticed a new blog appear on Planet of the Blogs today- Liz McManus, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. She's clearly writing it herself. I'm in favour of Ms McManus, as she appeared to wish my Grandmother a happy birthday a few years ago at her house party.
