Only explanation for this Ebay auction is the seller is from Roscommon.
Oh, and I wasn’t searching for anything related to Gerry Ryan on Ebay. Just happened to be browsing through the websites for sale category and it was on the first page of results.

Good Friday
By · CommentsA number of years ago I sang the tenor part in the local choir’s production of Stainer’s Crucifixion. I don’t have a recording of me singing it, so here is someone else singing “The Majesty of the Divine Humiliation” instead. I get butterflies in my stomach any time I hear it, recalling how I felt before singing it in front of a 400 strong audience.
Listening to it now and reflecting today on a lot of things.

Up or Down? A job opening in London
By · Comments
The House of Commons is looking for a lift attendant.
You’ll need:
- experience of operating a passenger lift in a working environment
- experience of working in a large building operating a passenger lift
- to have a good understanding of good customer care
- to be smart and articulate
Salary £17,277.
Must have been interesting to come up with that list. They could have padded it out a bit more though.
- Ability to work on own initiative
- High tolerance level for close contact with key decision makers (some with B.O.)
- Active interest in meteorology
- Finely tuned sense of direction, especially Up and Down
Still, it’s got a better benefits package than a lot of jobs out there. I think I would go crazy standing or sitting all day in a confined space pressing buttons all day. Oh, wait…..

Who’s this @young_kubrick ?
By · CommentsBrowsing on the Irish Times website today I noticed a small video running along the side of the screen. Didn’t take a lot of notice of it until the end when it showed the @young_kubrick Twitter address. Obviously a viral campaign but I was curious enough to click through to the Twitter account. Lots of marketing, pr and media people on the list of friends and followers which confirms the viral. Found a boards.ie thread where someone is wondering WTF is going on – a young fella advertising his twitter account on RTE and the Irish Times websites.
Here’s the video
I’m taking a guess that it’s for Disneyland Paris which has a New Generations festival running from April 2nd. Seeing as lastminute.ie are promoting it on their website and the the young_kubrick is Sean Og LAST – they might be asking youngsters to make a video to win a trip to Disneyland Paris.
Probably totally wrong though. What do you reckon it’s for?
