I'm Dublin-born and write and edit: hidden-dublin.com in my spare time. In 2006 I started a guide to Italy called hidden-italy.com You're most welcome to visit both guides and I always respond to queries or observations. Professionally I'm a music lecturer, specializing in Renaissance music; I used to play the piano, organ and (for fun) trombone, but do little playing these days. The profile picture was taken in Dublin's Temple Bar and the public house is also called the "Temple Bar"!

There are free Mp3 tracks from a very talented composer and friend of mine. They're very relaxing, yet highly detailed and engaging, just like all music should be!

Obviously, there is not a lot to do in Northumberland in the north of England. Don't try this at home...

A tongue-in-cheek guide (couldn't resist that... he he) to chatting to the fairer sex, Irish-style. All good fun and hopefully written in a humourous manner.

Extraordinary story about an Irishman living in London who dugg tunnels under his house and nearby public pavements, only for them to collapse. The council evicted him and sued the owner. The London high court ordered him to pay £283,026 for the repairs and £10,000 legal costs. Some people have too much misplaced energy!

An Irishman who dug a labyrinth of tunnels under his London home is in a financial hole after being ordered to pay around £300,000 (â,¬373,000) to stop it collapsing.

Retired civil engineer William Lyttle (77) has been dubbed "mole man" because he excavated hundreds of feet under his home and beneath nearby pavements in London.

Hackney Council eventually evicted him, before sending workmen to save the house, which had been propped up with wooden beams and debris.

The council put scaffolding around the 20-room Victorian property, and concrete was poured into tunnels to shore it up. Now the High Court in London has ordered Mr Lyttle to pay £283,026 for the repairs and £10,000 legal costs -- thought to be the biggest award in the UK for a "public nuisance" case.

He also dug holes in which he put cars, boats and other items. Mr Lyttle, who defended himself, was given 14 days to pay. He is believed to have assets including a farm in Ireland, although court papers did not say where.

I'm very lucky to live just over a mile from here! This is Durham, in the northeast of England. The cathedral is Norman and the river is called the River Wear.

I thought this was a really interesting read. Written by a woman, it describes the tactics that some dominant women use towards less dominant people. Many are in that situation and the article offers some constructive advice.

It's good to realise that you're not the only one in that situation!
