Every Bomb You Drop ~Spitting Image {Video}

by on Jan 23, 2012

“Spitting image” was a British satyrical political show that aired for 12 years until 1996. Using latex puppets and the voices of many top impersonators and comedians.

You are Awesome! Yes, you I Said!

by on Dec 23, 2011

Now is the time to sit down and think about it. With only a sort time left before 2012, what supercool thing are you going to do that will take our breath away, make us stand and gape in awe, realising the potential of every human being on the planet?

The 5th Niyama & One Foot in Front of the Other.

by on Dec 21, 2011

I just read Waylon’s latest (I haven’t gone far in life). He muses over how we seem to move around a lot nowadays, how people don’t tend to stay in the places where they were born and brought up.

Vatican says; The Devil does Yoga!

by on Dec 1, 2011

A little bit silly really. The comments are going to make the ignorant fearful and the informed will have less respect for the Vatican. Crenshaw is so right. The Father needs to do some research into what yoga actually is and realise the similarities but, then maybe the last thing the Vatican needs is, people [...]

Man Flu Epidemic hits Ireland.

by on Nov 25, 2011

It’s an epidemic. Or, shall I say, a pandemic that is striking men down all over the world. But, It’s hit Ireland very hard over the last couple of years and it’s definitely nothing to be sneezed at (pun intended).

The latest part of the Twilight saga is released soon and if you’ve been following the series or, read the books and you’re on Team Jacob, then here’s an interesting tutorial for you…. Hello and welcome to “How to Howl and Bark” but not at the same time coz that would be weird! I LOVE [...]

Biggest wave ever; Surfed in Europe! (video)

by on Nov 9, 2011

For years surfing was something that many in Europe thought was only possible is SoCal or Hawaii. Things have been changing in recent times though; One of the biggest waves in recent history was surfed off the west coast of Ireland. And it’s just happened again off the coast of Portugal. Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara (sounds [...]

Absolut Yoga.

by on Nov 4, 2011

Here’s a couple of ad’s that, to be honest I love but, at the same time, is their political yoga correctness questionable?

The Flexibility of Resignation.

by on Nov 1, 2011

‎Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. LEARN, MASTER AND ACHIEVE!!! ~ Bruce Lee.

Early Morning ~ James Vincent McMorrow.

by on Oct 31, 2011

One of my favourite songs at the moment and I didn’t even know the singer was Irish, let alone from Dublin. There’s an ad that keeps showing on TV with this track playing and I just love it. Stevie Winwood’s version was way up-beat but, James’ cover is haunting, spacious and beautiful. In James’ own [...]

Nature Occupies Shopping Mall in Dublin Ireland.

by on Oct 25, 2011

  Monday October 24th 2011 and the east coast of Ireland sees a month’s worth of rain in one night! This is a video of flood water washing through the doors of one of Europe’s biggest and finest shopping malls. Makes me wonder a little if nature is joining the 99% and the occupy movement. [...]

Is the Guru/Student connection lost the more big business Yoga gets?

by on Oct 1, 2011

In three sessions, not only has he found muscles that weren’t there before, he’s also not had one panic attack in two weeks! I don’t feel that he would have got those results as fast if he’d been going to classes with 20 or more people in it, unless the teacher was really good at making connections with the students.

Irish case of spontaneous combustion!

by on Sep 24, 2011

It was one of those things I used to read as a kid and fascinated me. But the cases were always in countries so far away from me, so this recent news story came as a bit of a shock! Taken fro the ABC news website; The death of a 76-year-old Irishman has been ruled [...]

Knowing everything Vs Kindness.

by on Sep 22, 2011

Now I didn’t think too much about this. I remembered the story, but not all of the details and I was hoping there might be someone out there that might be able to enlighten me and everyone else. So I was a bit hurt when I got this reply;

Innocent people getting scammed with the idea of a new life in America.

by on Sep 1, 2011

Looks great doesn’t it? Only thing is, I’ve dealt with United States customs and Immigration with visas before and they don’t do Western Union! this message originated from U.S. Department of State. U.S. Department of State notifies tobye hillier of being selected as a winner of the Diversity Visa program. Dear tobye hillier , You [...]

The Skateboard as yoga mat?

by on Aug 17, 2011

Personally, I reckon anything that focuses your attention on the present moment is pretty much yoga. But, this guy’s got some cool handstand moves worthy of a kathryn Budig class!

by on Aug 2, 2011

The Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) Motorcycle race is legendary in the motorcycle world. It was originally included in the Motorcycle grand prix world championship until 1976, when it was moved to mainland Britain over safety concerns and became the British grand prix.

Prince throws guitar and loses it!

by on Aug 2, 2011

I’ve worked and played in the music industry for more than 20 years. I have to say I know most of the tricks of the trade. But, somebody please tell me what happens to Prince’s guitar at the end of his solo!! That’s Jeff Lynn (ELO) and Tom Petty singing BTW

Know your Nose.

by on Jul 9, 2011

We don’t really give a lot of importance to noses. Good for olfactory stuff like smelling and remembering things by their smell.Terrible irritation if you’ve a cold and up and till the point I started practising yoga, my nose was just partner to my ears in the chore of keeping my spectacles in check.

Advice on women from Marilyn Monroe.

by on May 30, 2011

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The [...]

Knights, hearts and keeping your cards guarded.

by on May 11, 2011

I wouldn’t make a good Poker player. “Keep your cards close to your chest” they always say. “Wearing your heart on your sleeve” is another good analogy. Taken from medieval times when Knights in shining armour, jousting in competitions, would wear the handkerchief of the Lady that held them favour on the sleeve of their [...]

How fit will you be when you’re over 70?

by on Apr 15, 2011

This guy is just amazing! “3 score and ten” That used to be the marker for life expectancy. Who are they kidding? If we look after our bodies and our minds anything is possible! His wife nagging him is really cute as well, I hope I’m like him when I’m 71!

Am I doing anything wrong?

by on Apr 14, 2011

I’m a pretty lucky guy. I’m a yoga teacher with his own yoga studio and it’s the only one in town. Not only that, it’s also got heaps of free parking! But sometimes I feel like I’m stuck in a yoga no-man’s land. If I was in America with my little yoga studio (the only [...]
