I have to say I despair at the service Cork people put up with and I have to wonder if bosses and owners actually know how their staff behave behind their back. At a time when value for money is equalled only by great service here's a couple of humdingers for you. A buddy of mine was in the market for some DIY help for his new house and walked into a store in Douglas on Monday morning.

I was over for a long weekend with RSVP magazine at the annual Marbella Ball, a right posh affair, with all the visiting Irish A listers mingling with their ex- pat Irish A lister equivalents who are now in permanent residence on the Costa. In typical Marbella fashion it was fillets steaks all the way and dancing the night away to Boney M. Happy days with old ra ra rasputin!

CoCo's was the cool eighties club in Cork where the Cork "A listers" gathered to boogie and booze.

There was an unofficial hope that we would reach €100,000 so to treble it was fantastic. As I write we are fast approaching the €300,000 mark, so by the end of July with money still coming in we should surpass it. Everybody pitched in, including many sports, music and comedy stars.

This is a question I've been asking myself all week. It all manifested itself from two incidents that happened to me recently. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:19:41 +0100
