This is something that has been annoying me as I am told there is a difference between being a geek and nerd. But can you be both if there is a difference?

I love Cork and I am very patriotic about my home town, and events on Saturday made me love it even more. At the weekend my boyfriend was up from Kerry and he stayed around town on Saturday and we met up for lunch. At all times I was with him in town we were holding hands. Did we get a reaction? No In fact most people registered no reaction especially Irish people. A few people stared and in...

I have recently come a cross a new religion (both to me and it is fairly new in religious terms also). What is that faith? Bahá’í. Bahá’í teachings appeal to me and Shoghi Effendi has summed them up and I cannot disagree with them. The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition...

Well today I had a 2nd meeting with an Advocate Worker of the Irish Advocacy Network, and it looks like I have a possibility of redress against my former employer, as it was a ‘constructive dismissal’. I have a dilemma, do I take on a case and the workload involved, lots of paper work, and secondly I have two avenues I can take. I can go to the Equality Tribunal, hopefully with help from the Equality Authority under a...
