I think everyone needs a bit of old fashioned R&R this week, especially with 1979Gooner on the warpath. So who better to drag out the archives than the mightiest warhorse that I have ever seen in Red & White - the one and only Paddy Vieira. One of Wenger's first signings (with Remi Garde), Paddy joined in September 1996 for £3.5m from AC Milan. I think the Milanese are still bitter about it.Its

Eh oui on a remis ça au Long Hop pour une soirée de la St Patrick en retard :) Malgré le long weekend de Pâques les fidèles étaient au rendez vous et quelques nouveaux aussi (ça fait toujours plaisir :D). Toujours autant de papotages, de rencontres inattendues et découvertes communes et d'internationalité...tout ce que l'on aime :) Vous demandez pour les photos...elles sont làààà! ;) Bon cette soirée aussi pour marquer la fin du séjour de la plus parisienne des canadiennes: ma petite Caro s'en allait dans son Ottawa natal le lendemain matin très tôt alors elle est passée pour sa dernière soirée avec nous... Super nostalgique mais comme je te l'ai dit je viendrai bientôt "te visiter" pour un trip transatlantique :)    

I know… I know. How could I A. not post a Happy St. Paddy’s Day post and B.not make a template? *Hangs Head In Shame* OK… about the template. I just couldn’t find a graphic I really liked. Then there was all the issues with my computer. Not to mention the clients… and so on. So… will [...]

When you aren't getting up and going out of the house you tend to lose track of the days of the week, and of course the date. This explains why I've only just noticed that it is St Patrick's Day today. I always get a bit annoyed by St Patrick's Day. It is great if you are Irish to have the national day and the party and all. It is quite a good excuse if you are a student for copious amounts of

Last year, some of the facts on my Peever ancestry in Ireland were incorrect. My grandfather, Lindsay Peever was born in Pembroke, Canada around 1900. My greatgrandfather, James Peever was born in Poulawaddra  in 1866 near Tralelee, Ireland. I would like to thank Kevin (Peever?) for that information.The above picture is the old Peever homestead which is still standing in Poulawaddra.My mother and I were both born in Pembroke, Ontario. It is a scenic small city on the Ottawa River about 90 miles from Ottawa. I spent many a summer at my grandfather's cottage fishing, swimming and having fun. I was lucky to have such a wonderful childhood connected with the great outdoors. Many children never get that chance.I grew up in Barrie, Ontario and both my

This isn't the exact design on the shirt Renee bought me last year for St. Paddy's Day, but the idea is the same.   Renee and the girls are on a 'Spring Break' road trip right now.  They are visiting a very close friend of Renee who used to live here, but has since moved.  Them not being here today is really harder than I thought it was going to be, because we always enjoy this day together.   To be completely honest, we enjoy being together pretty much all the days of the year, but some more than average.

This morning I walked into the office to end up getting pinched because I was not wearing green on St. Paddy's Day.  Little did they know that I wear green everyday.  All I could do was laugh and pinch back. If you do not understand what I mean, Midori, is the Japanese word for the color "green" (緑). It is also a common Japanese female personal name.Did you know that in google there are 5,540,000 searches for word Midori?Imagine my delight to see that I on the 4th page...#38 for the search term Midori.  WWW.DaytonaRealEstateTrainer.comNot bad considering there is a professional skater, violinist and lots of anime.  Needless to say us anyone with the name Midori wears green everyday!  Deep down I think there is some irish in me..I love the music and the celebrations and most o

St. Patrick's Day celebrations. My first year in Chicago, dad and I stumbled upon the river dyeing by accident, and now it's another yearly tradition for me, much like the Michigan Avenue tree lighting. Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like Starbucks, being up very early on Saturday morning and seeing a lot of green downtown.It's also funny to see the "commercialization" of the event as well. When I first went to the river dyeing, Jameson was not a sponsor of it and the Jameson "brand ambassadors" were not walking around giving still flags for attendees with the company's logo. Who knows what will happen next year? Maybe Guinness will get in on the action and do sampling!This is a 40-year plus tradition in the city and every year, I go and love it, just like a tourist. There's something abou

St. Patrick’s Day is Monday March 17th 2008. St. Patrick is the Patron saint of Green beer and Chicago River Coloring.

St Patrick’s Day Fun Facts  ·          The St. Patrick's Day custom came to America in 1737 and was first publicly celebrated in Boston, MA.   ·          On St. Patrick's Day, you can bring yourself good luck by finding a four-leaf clover, wearing green, and kissing the Blarney Stone.  ·         There are 34.7 million U.S. residents who claim Irish ancestry.

An Irishman went to a pet shop and asked how many budgies were in stock. “We have 99″ replied the shop owner “Give us the lot” said the Irish man, paid for them and left. He went to a tailors shop and had 99 pockets sewn into a jacket, put a budgie in each pocket, went up to the [...]

I was sent this at work today. Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn’t find a parking place.   Looking up to heaven he said, ‘Lord take pity on me.   If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest [...]

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night. Mica, the bartender, tells him, "You'll not be drinking any more tonight, Paddy." Paddy replies, "OK, Mick. I'll be on my way then." Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his face. "What the...." he pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face again. "Damn!" he says. He looks to the doorway and thinks that if he can just get to the door and get some fresh air, he'll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the pavement and falls flat on his face. "BiJ

Paddy Clarke is not a funny story. The overwhelming feeling is one of palpable sadness, despite several humourous episodes, especially towards the earlier parts of the book. Ten year old Paddy, the eldest son of a large Irish family in fictitious(?) Barrytown of the sixties, thoroughly enjoys the company of his friends – Kevin, Liam, [...]

Businessweek.comVote for your favorite among the top two dozen young entrepreneurs in the Asia-Pacific region, where the local creativity is impressing venture capitalists and multinationals alike By Sonal Rupani There's never been a better time to be a young entrepreneur in Asia. There are more venture capitalists than ever in the region, many of them recent arrivals from Silicon Valley attracted by the supercharged growth rates in countries such as China, India, and Vietnam. At the same time, multinationals like Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), and IBM (IBM) are busy funding entrepreneurs too, investing in new companies regionwide. And they're impressed with the creativity they're seeing from local entrepreneurs. Gone are the days when startups were based largely on lower costs than the West. "I've been in this [region] for 10 years, and when you look across these markets, it's fantastic," says John Hummelstad, Singapore-based regional director for emerging technology and ve

Sometime back, a Singaporean based company by the name of BAK2u have made it as a service help consumers keep track of their gadgets in CNN news. So after a couple of gatherings (from Ping.SG party to a couple of twitters and chat), BL sat down with Paddy Tan, the co-founder from BAK2u for an email interview to tell us more about what the company does in the realm of security, his personal trials and tribulations and how he sees the future of his company.

My partner and I have officially been living in South Australia for six months today--a half a year living in another country. It’s sort of crazy when you think about it. It seems like just the other day, I was sitting at my receptionist job in downtown Chicago, fantasizing about moving here, going to school, eating my weight at sausage sizzles. And now I’m mowing meat pies and hugging koalas with the best of them. Read more! »

You wouldn’t believe the night I’ve just had. It’ll take too long to go through the whole night, so we’ll skip the fun part, the dancing, the drinking - because we all know how that happens anyway. We’ll move straight into the violence and controversy. Everyone loves a bit of controversy every now and then. Josh was catching a train home and Laura decided to see him off to the station and come back in; however the bouncers wouldn’t let her back in “because she’d had enough to drink”. She was a little bit pissed, but she could walk and get out most necessary words. It was a fair rejection in the end, but it wasn’t working in our favour, so at the time we weren’t very impressed. We decided to head down the road to the pub for one last drink and then go home; on the way Laura stacks it and has a leg now covered in blood. Five minutes later, pissed Katie is covered in blood crying about how much drycleaning will cost. How sh

Everyone says it is just a big stereotype. And as is often the case when everyone says it is just a stereotype, it is actually true.It turns out the Irish are the world's biggest binge drinkers. And this is why everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day.The survey, conducted in October and November last year, found that almost one in five people between the ages of 15 and 24 drink five or more alcoholic beverages in one session.The poll found that 34% of Irish people questioned saying they "usually" binge drink, followed by Finland, where 27% of respondents said they did the same. Britain was third with 24% and Denmark fourth with 23%.Binge drinking was defined as five drinks in one sitting.But, it seems to me the whole concept of binge drinking is pretty slippery. I mean if some bloke comes home after a hard day's work and spends the whole evening in the pub, to get away from the family that despises him, and knocks down five stouts, is that binge drinking?And what if he ord

I really don't go in for St. Patrick's Day (or St. Guinness' Day as far as most of the World outside Ireland are concerned), even though I do like Guinness. Let's face it, the whole thing has been completely taken over by Irish alcoholic drinks manufacturers, and not being Irish, I think you'd have to drink quite a lot to give the time of day to stories of St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland. At least the stories about St. David are slightly more believable and less mythical sounding, and yet you don't see half the world spending the day eating Leek based dishes or drinking Brains Bitter until they can't stand anymore. Still, I'm not going to stop anyone having a good time and the only people I'm hoping do stop anyone having a good time are the Welsh Rugby team by living up t
