		<description><![CDATA[My cooking is in a rut. I can remember a time when I was trying out a new kind of dish every other week; now I just churn out the same four or five dishes every week. That’s the slippery slope. I’m 44 now, an age when you start to get very sensitive about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are the twelve pillars of the Great Irish Christmas. The Returned Emigrant Dave is bitter after being ‘forced to go and live’ in Australia last year because there were no jobs for people with a Masters in Greek and Roman Civilisation. And now he’s back for Christmas to tell us all that Ireland is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TK Maxx has turned me into a woman. I went into town last Saturday to buy a coat for the winter. By town, I mean Cork city. Shopping in Cork as a 40 something male is a reminder that Buddha had a point: life is suffering. You have four choices. Now that all the High [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Blame Eamon Dunphy. When he started his Last Word drive time talk show on Today FM in the 90s, Dunphy and the producers had a Big Idea. Unlike the elitist crowd in RTE, this show belongs to the listeners who will be invited to text in their views on everything from the peace process to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Picture this. It’s the final day of the British Open next year and Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington have a putt each on the 18th green to claim the championship. Whose putt do you want to drop? If you say McIlroy, then you’re lying. Or from Northern Ireland. In which case, congratulations, because right now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That’s it folks, no more photos. I’ve just been looking at our latest batch of holiday shots and I’m a shocker. I have yet again managed to ruin shot of various beauty spots across the north of Spain with my demonic camera face. It doesn’t help that the wife is a natural in front of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This country is starting to stink. A&#38;E closures in places like Roscommon; the shortage of special needs assistants in schools this September; news reports of an old woman on a trolley in a hospital corridor, mortified because the only person to see her in her nightie up until then was her husband of fifty years.

		<description><![CDATA[My brother-in-law’s Spanish girlfriend Maria summed it up. “I love Irish funerals. They’re brilliant.” She’s right. Forget about the James Joyce, Riverdance and The Crack. Our greatest gift to the world is showing other races how do a proper send off. Maria gave our death rites a big thumbs up at the funeral for my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m nervous about people who go to the same place on the continent for their holidays every year. It isn’t the lack of imagination. It’s the smug stories about how they’re treated like locals at the village fete or how they taught the lady in the patisserie to say go raibh maith agat. Seriously, these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that Turkish men never shave themselves? They just led the fuzz build up and then go for a bit of pampering at the local barbers once a week. I learned this yesterday at the Turkish place where I get my hair cut. And here’s the weird thing. I can’t wait for my [...]]]></description>
