    This made me smile last week

    Daisy Boo, the family pooch belonging to Michael and Sinead Hughes, is basking in the sweet smell of success this week after sniffing out Gizmo, their lost family cat.
    The mongrel is the pet hero of Manor Court, after he used sniffer dog instincts to track down his housemate, Gizmo, a Persian cat, who was missing from the family home in Knocknacarra for over 36 hours.
    When Gizmo went missing, the Hughes’ feared the worst but they put up ‘missing cat’ posters and informed the Galway Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA).
    They searched low and high, throughout the west of Galway City but still no sign of Gizmo – the fact that the house cat wasn’t the brightest, streetwise or used to being in the ‘big bad world’ outdoors worried them more.
    A day and a half passed, and there was still no sign, so the Hughes got innovative, enlisted the help of their canine, which is not a trained sniffer dog.
    Though she admits it sounds as if she’s as ‘daft as a brush’, Sinead then used discarded tufts of Gizmo’s thick gingery coat to give Daisy Boo a flavour of the scent for the search.
    “We got Gizmo’s hair out of the bin and let Daisy Boo have a good sniff of it and then Daisy Boo went out on sniffer patrol,” explains Sinead.
    “We went out looking for baby Gizmo and after a while Daisy Boo just stopped at a tree and wouldn’t leave it. All of a sudden baby Gizmo appeared! I was so delighted. My pets are my babies and I was crying for so long when she went missing.”

    There was this dear old lady on The Joe Duffy show the other day, who fell on an escalator in Dublin Airport and couldn't get up until the someone switched off the stairs, " the worst thing about falling on a escalator is your falling one way and the stairs is going the opposite way".
    Another caller claimed that if someone fell between the gap of the escalator, the could be kilt.
    Luckily someone from the DAA might put a net or smething to stop this happening so good news all round.

    Jesus died for your sins. So you've got the go ahead to get into Heaven, provided you love your neighbour.

    I made a Chilli two nights ago and it was good. Had some last night and it was better. What's more there were two bottles of beer in the fridge so I had one with the Chilli.
