I was born in 1973: That's really all I can say about myself...
Except... I'm a husband who lives with his wife in Sallins in Kildare, Ireland. I work in Dublin. I'm a writer and performer of Nonsense/Comic Verse/Songs and general humour.
At the moment I've performed my work for Children in County, and the city of Cork, Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Libraries and the Listowel Writers festival. Festivals Performed at: World Book Day 2005, Children's Book Festival 2005, Roald Dahl day 2006, Children's Book Festival 2006 and Listowel Writers Week 2006
I have also written more grown up performances that are a combination of humour, poetry and song. I have given a brief performance at the Pack of Jokers night at the Riverbank Art Centre, Newbridge, County Kildare and at the Battle of the Axe at the Ha'penny Bridge Inn, Dublin. I have a myspace page to highlight what music skills I have... it can be found on www.myspace.com/failedrockstar

Hello to you my friend! My comment is to bring,to debate,issues I feel are very important,concerning the lisbon treaty.Below are a three videos. The first is very short(3 min)and is of an MEP who sees the "Totalitarian nature of this treaty"
The second is a documentary called "The real face of the European Unio" which is very important as it outlines, once again by MEP's,"An unsettleing Agenda" from an EU that is "Rotten to the Core" .. The Third is from a group of Irishmen. "End of Nations". It is an excellent documentary and it outlines the Lisbon treaty in full.Once again interviews with MEP's. Just be prepared to be a little shocked.
.. I'd encourage you to repost this comment If you feel it is of value. I will be posting a bulletin with the details and code of this comment.Press reply to bulletin, copy and paste the message, then repost as a comment.Thanks for taking the time to read this! Baz.....
