Just because I post a photo on the Internet, it does not give anyone the right to grab a copy and use it on their own site. It certainly does not give anyone the right to edit that image and remove it's watermark! Why do I say this? Well, a Music, Art, Film and Food print/online magazine here in Ireland did just that with one of my images. Was I annoyed when I saw the image on their site? Yes!

So, for a change, I headed to the Vodafone Comedy Festival on Sunday. There's nothing like a good laugh to to wash those worries away and I most certainly laughed!
The Vodafone Comedy Festival takes place over 4 days in the beautiful surrounds of the Iveagh Gardens, just off Harcourt Street. You could walk up and down that street and never know the park lies behind those beautiful Georgian buildings.

It's a great festival, a little expensive if you wanted to catch all the acts, but then, quality does cost that little bit more.
