		<aboutMe>A little bit of Irish, sometimes anarchic, to challenge, stretch, amuse and inform.  Politics and Travel, with commentary on the meaning and irritations of life.

Born and raised in Ireland but settled and living in and near London for too many years to remember.  I love lively debate, politics, history, current affairs, travelling, photography and enjoy dining with friends. 

blarney is my nod to my roots, as kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland is reputed to give you the gift of eloquence (or the gift of the gab as we say in Ireland).  
bounce is simply a nod to bouncing ideas and thoughts, as I am not in any way suggesting that I&apos;m right in what I say, just saying what I think.</aboutMe>
