18th October
A number of topics to cover today:
I notice in the Daily Mail that Greg Dyke is in talks to present a new business show on Radio 4.
Their podcasts are great for bus or train journeys, and particularly handy as I cannot get any BBC stations here.
The In Business and From Our Own Correspondent shows are very informative - I have not succumbed to the Ipod craze, but instead listen to it on my Nokia 6230i.
On the subject of Nokias, I note that they have several more new phones on their website, one of which is the E 60
The Curiosities of Online Dating
I have to sheepishly admit to being signed up with a number of dating sites, all of which feature any number of interesting and attractive young ladies.
For some reason, when looking at the latest uploaded photos, I am increasingly drawn to thirtysomethings like this. Whether I will get in touch with someone and actually meet them through a site like this I do not know...
One thing that does strike you is the sheer number of people on these sites. I fail to see how it might be logically possible for everyone on them to meet their match.
On the one occasion that I did begin writing to a girl, she went a bit weird and so I stopped emailing her. She then got hold of my mobile phone number which was listed on a site along with my email address which she had googled.
Texts and phone calls and a final email followed and I politely asked her to leave me alone after she had said she had thought about visiting me and had tried to find out my home address.
Not the most inspiring story I know. Still, due to a somewhat pathetic social life, I plan to try another dating site based in Dublin.
On the subject of dating, I read of a successful blog called Chasing Bridget written by a 27 year-old guy in London...it seems I am not the only one in this situation.
A View to Inspire
I will be going to Belfast tomorrow afternoon, working in Dublin for several hours first. One of the benefits of being in Belfast is that they still use proper money there rather than this Euro monopoly money we have down here. The other thing is I will be able to get a BBC radio reception there.
This is the inspiring and beautiful view I pass on
the train journey along the south Dublin coast.

It is the view from the train near the village of Dalkey.
On a bright morning, when the sun has risen or is beginning to break through the clouds, it is a view that has the power to lift the soul.
