Nice one Paddy. Great idea. well done.
Hi Paddy, just stumbled across your site and had a quick nosey.
Love what your doing by the way.
I was wondering if you can include the option to link to Facebook as most people these days have an account there and it could give you more coverage.
I created a Facebook group sometime ago and you could plug your latest reviews etc on there also.
It’s at the link below.

Hi Paddy,
I’m the Events Assistant at Down district Council and wanted to speak with you in regards to our Festival of Flight in One Cool Weekend. I can’t find a phone number to contact you on the site so if you could e-mail me when you get this I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks

Hi, I live in Newcastle and am ashamed at the dirt of our streets. The amount of litter is disgraceful and the granite footpaths are an eyesore. Who on earth commissioned these paving slabs before researching how well they could cope with staining from spilt drinks and other bodily functions found mainly outside the pubs!!?
