The Snowman Film with Craig Doyle (from the BBC) narrating will be in the National Concert Hall from 16th of December to the 4th of Jan.

Irelandcostumes.com will be supplying the costumes.

Today was the official relaunch of Ireland Costumes.Com’s website and after spending the last few weeks making the back end of things work smoothly. Today we’ve finally started accepting payments and i feel like its a massive milestone reached.

We’re the only Costume store to offer free shipping to Ireland… and were also shipping free to the UK as well. The next days should be interesting. Obviously in due course the product range will be expanded.

I’d love to hear people’s advice on the site, still a little more tweaking to be done, SEO stuff, about us info etc. My favourite IT guy in the world Stephen Nutley did a fantastic job.

Any feedback or Comments on the site, positive or negative would be most appreciated.

**** Update**** IrelandCostumes.com no longer offers free delivery, we’ve instead opted to drop the prices and charge a low delivery fee (10Euro to Ireland)****

So the coke ad is on Tv and the Christmas parties have started… And already im already i’m feeling really seasonal, following a great start to the season in The Full Shilling Finglas…

Bring on the silly sessions…

This DJ charges ~250Euro for a gig and ~350Euro for a wedding… Sounds like a real bargain. But then again how much would you pay for a DJ not to ruin your wedding?? Would you risk having a DJ like this for the sake of saving a few quid?

Be warned there are charachters like this in Ireland too.

Whats going on at ladbrokes? Looks like the stock market is having an early christmas sale cause in my opinion these shares are really cheap at the moment, based primarily on emotive selling. Company was doing really great, now its just doing great. Worth a 20% decline in value? Not a chance! The fundamentals seem fine dispite “Total gross win increased by 33% including High Rollers and but was up only up 7% excluding High Rollers”. “Early trading in November has seen the continuation of High Rollers’ Telephone activity and, encouragingly, reached into double-digit year-on-year growth in UK Retail gross win,” chief executive Christopher Bell said in a statement.

I dont think the emotive selling has bottomed out yet, but when it does there’s big profits to be made. One to watch i reckon.

United nations – Do it yourself is a remake / brief touch up of Neil Rumney’s – Awesome track from 2003 and one that still gets regular plays in my DJ sets. Its a definate 10/10 release, casue it brings a track thats worthy of main stream into main stream.

So I’m In the process of rebranding, re-doing the website and ordering in the christmas stock for my costume business irelandcostumes.com. After having one of those dull chats with someone yesterday about christmas being too commercial – i decided I’d also look into non traditional Christmas costumes. So the question on my mind at the moment?? Is this costume below a bit of bad taste and likely to offend – or is it just hilariously funny??

The unfortunate decision has been made to close down CheapChat.ie one of my business in the telecom sector. The business has been coasting along for some time now and although it has been breaking even, its future isn’t bright with the new technology that is coming online in the next few months, which will offer much better rates.

I’m deeply sorry to be letting down my loyal base of existing customers, who’s custom is most appreciated. CheapChat.ie will cease service on the 4th of november.

Sister company CheapChatUK.co.uk will continue to operate and there are some plans in the near future to improve the service further.

It’s wierd the way when one door closes another one opens and in the next few weeks i’ll post on another new little business venture which is planned for launch in November.

Just a quick thanks CEO Ashley Ballbernie and all the staff at the ISPCC who organised the “Childline Breakfast ’07”, i had the privledge of being the Entertainer (DJing for the kids) in Dublin Zoo yesterday alongside, clowns and Celeb guest Don Conroy from RTE’s the Den.

Great day out and very worthy cause!!
