Irish blogger in Antarctic whale chase

dave_alaska.jpgSeasoned bloggers will be well aware of ye olde blog blather.net, to which Dave Walsh (right) is still attached. Dave, for those of you who don’t know, is currently involved in the high-profile pursuit of Japanese whaling ships in the Southern Ocean.

He’s the serious-looking communications manager on the Greenpeace ship Esperanza (blog here), which, while it’s not actively boarding the Japanese ships like the more aggressive Sea Shepherd folk, is doing its bit to chase them out of the hunting grounds. His flickr page is worth a look, too. It’s here. He’s also blogging the trip on blather.net, which, if you haven’t checked it out in a while, is worth a look.

The Dubliner v The Chancer. Oh, it’s ON.

Expect drawn pistols at high noon in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre.

Said Derek O’Connor, he of Chancer fame:

“Dubliner publisher Trevor ‘Awight’ White thinks that The Chancer is obsessed with The Dubliner. He’s wrong. We’re obsessed with him. Grrrrr!”

Trevor hits back:

“You have a neck like a jockey’s bollocks. And for that, I suppose, we must be grateful, for you certainly are amusing, and Ireland needs a worthy satirist. I dare you to try to be that man.”

Oh, throw a punch already, you pair of little girls.

Note to Chancer: Sorry for nicking the pic.

Note to Trevor: It’s Chancer.ie
