Oh baby. I’m sitting here watching the news and laughing my ass off at the latest shenanigans involving Ireland’s best and beautiful.

What is that movie? Boiler Room? That’s what it’s like. I mean, it’s the coolest thing ever. Cubicle, cubicle, cubicle for 150,000 sq.

[ Probably the ‘Australian’ Sewing Room - photo nicked from www.elderweb.com ]
