We had a CoCo's nightclub reunion on Saturday night at the Victoria hotel, it sold out and how great it was to see all the old heads again and play all the old hits. CoCo's was the cool eighties club in Cork where the Cork "A listers" gathered to boogie and booze.

The 96FM Radiothon was a resounding success, beyond everyone's dreams. 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.

Comets or the creation of heaven? This is a question I've been asking myself all week. It all manifested itself from two incidents that happened to me recently.

We Corkonians take a lot for granted living down here on the south coast. Take Dubliners and non Dubliners living in Dublin for example, by and large they dislike living in the capital. Some of them actually hate it.

A Cork Judge recently released with a suspended sentence a Corkman found in possession of drugs with the sole purpose of sale and supply. He was a drug dealer, caught by the guards.
