Do you sometimes struggle to chat and engage with people in social situations? Do you find yourself not knowing what to say and end up nodding or shaking your head whilst only uttering monosyllabic words? Do you dread having to interact with people you don’t know? At a party do you prefer to just sit [...]

Let us be honest, wine is confusing. With the exception of wine enthusiasts very few people understand the complex world of wine. We all know the basics. We know that red wine comes from red grapes and white wine comes from white grapes. A lot of even know that a merlot is red, that a [...]

This is a follow on from my earlier article “The First Six Months of Being an Expectant Father – What to do…” So you’ve managed to get past the first six months without too much stress. That’s the easy part. Now things get really interesting. At six months the real work begins. The emotional support [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted. That is largely because my son has learned to walk. The by-product of which is that he now has the ability destroy our home, so my time is taken up chasing after him and hoping he doesn’t break anything too valuable. One of the subjects I have [...]

If you live in the UK and you do only one thing today – vote! Voting is the main way that you can affect how the county is run. If you have issues with the current government, your vote can change things. If you don’t vote then you have no right to complain how the [...]

This is the first part of a blog series that will deal with how a gentleman can build a series of defences to help him deal with the problems life can throw at him. Life can be a cruel mistress at times. Having the defences to deal with the problems she can throw at you [...]

This post is a bit of rant and for that I apologise in advance. Tracksuits depress me. Not when they are used for exercize as intended, but when people wear them day in day out as normal clothing. Actuall I made a mistake in that last sentence. Very few tracksuits are designed with the intention [...]

In this series I have often written about a gentlemanly characteristic and claimed that it was the most important one. If truth be told, no one characteristic is any more important than any other. They are all good characteristics to have. However, this one may genuinely lay claim to being the most important seeing as [...]

As you may or may not know I am a member of the New Sheridan Club, which is a London based club for Chaps. Although they have monthly meetings I can’t attend these seeing as I am based in Dublin, and the bus fare to London is a bit more than the bus fare from [...]

Although I have been a long term user of the internet, I was using it back when Gopher was the big thing, I have never been one for trying to build a social life online. To me the internet is simply a tool. A tool to find information and learn new things, a tool to [...]

It is often said that no true gentleman worries about money, or lack thereof. To quote Fyodor Dostoevsky: “A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.” So whether he has money or not, a [...]

I love variety in my wardrobe. My clothes come in a wide mix of colours and fabrics, something to suit just about every occasion. And it is fabrics that I want to talk about today, specifically one fabric – flannel. Flannel is a rather odd fabric. It feels and looks like it could be used [...]

As you may already know, I became a father for the first time last year. Despite all the sleepless nights, smelly nappy bins and and all the running around after the little poop machine, having a baby is the most wonderful feeling. I can heartily recommend it. I though I would write about my experiences [...]

You can’t have failed to notice that the winter we’ve just has was a rather nippy. And by nippy I mean absolutely freezing! Ireland and the UK got hit pretty bad, the canals froze over to such a degree that some nutcases people decided to go skating on them and even try to drive a [...]

Please accept my most humble apologies for the lack of updates lately. This is not the sort of thing a reliable gentleman does. Being a new father has left me with very little time to blog. Please be advised however that things will improve and I will post much more frequently. Share and Enjoy:

Camel hair jackets of the sport coat variety are rarely seen in Ireland, or the UK for that matter. The only camel hair clothing we see around here are long camel hair rain coats which have become associated with dodgy wheeler dealer types for some reason. This is a pity as the camel hair sport [...]

Tonight I noticed that Jacob has learnt how to play mind games with me. I had put him in his groove and learn play thingy and for a few minutes he was happy with this, whilst I sat nearby working on some code. Then the flood gates opened, WAHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHHH! went Jacob and soon as [...]
