A news site that does not take itself too seriously. Sounds good to me – but then as Everything and Less is the creation of a guy from Dublin you would not be expecting anything too highbrow. I would be disappointed in fact!
Geraco has what I call a nicely hyperactive cranium and being well familiar with Ireland (I lived in Belfast mate) I appreciate the view on the world that only the Irish have – as soon as I saw in the browser the words Temple Bar I had visions and memories of past decadence…anyway enough of that
This is a nicely newsy-blog focusing heavily on stuff happening in and around Ireland; wish I’d found it sooner actually as I am well bored with keeping up to touch through the staid old Belfast Telegraph and it’s ultra-conservative approach (what else would you expect from The North though). Geraco has a good formula but I wonder if he could do something to make the page a bit easier to load/navigate around – it was a bit bumpy but then again it could be my internet connection today.
I like his natty style to what he writes; I wonder, if he’d been around in 1825, how he’d have written up the courtcase of my GGG Grandfather Micheal Hennessey who was transported to Australia as a convict for stealing from a publican – he was arrested while he was in the act of lying on top of the publican’s wife…
I liked his article re the Chinese and the Irish – that’s kind of how I’d coin things myself - sometimes no other word but pissed will do (love the title though). Just one thing Geraco – go easier on those get paid to review me buttons from PPP underneath your posts otherwise a hint of desperation creeps in…but that’s just me being ultra picky.
Definitely not the worst blog on the internet.
