Jonny Neale, in reply to his mother’s worries that he would destroy his degree certificate if he brought it into work to prove he actually passed his degree:
“Well I plan to first sit on it on the train, then set my coffee on it and maybe put it through the shredder for the craic.”
What a [...]
Reality Check

I spent the day in Dublin today, viewing various houses, again, but today thankfully a nice landlord took pity on me and letted a room to me. Phew. It’s above a pub and beside a greyhound track, so if you’re looking to expand your addictions to alcohol and gambling, I can hook you up. (It [...]

In two weeks today I start work in Dublin… and I have nowhere to live. Fantastic. If any of you readers (about three of you, I reckon) have any ideas, swing them my way… otherwise I’m heading back to Dublin on Wednesday to convince some (more) people that they really want a lovable Northern guy [...]

Before I left Ibiza, I told Ben about how I couldn’t possibly tell my church about everything that I did in Ibiza. They’d be fine with some of it, but worshipping in the clubs, dancing with drug users, giving workers condoms and Messages with “Jesus Loves Porn Stars” on the front would all be more [...]

I have protected Dave’s real identity, for reasons you will discover.
The West End of San Antonio, Ibiza, has the highest density of clubs and bars per square mile of anywhere in Europe. I wasn’t finding this particular evening on the West End in very fruitful; I saw a couple of guys I could have approached, [...]
Ibiza Stories

Donald Miller writes about how Christianity is more than a bunch of guidelines in a book, or a list of requirements to be safe from God’s wrath. He claims that the Bible is His-story, a book full of parables, poems, love letters and word pictures.
So if God uses a huge book to get [...]
