The Independent: Ireland’s best newspaper

For incisive coverage of the affairs of our small yet great nation, you really can’t beat the Indo. It invariably has its finger on the pulse. The journalists at the Indo miss nothing.

VISITING this blog is a bit like reading the problem pages in the Sunday magazines, except with much more intelligent insight. Writer and cyber counsellor Barrington says he uses philosophical psychology to approach people’s problems, which range from being addicted to Big Brother to a girl with a wandering eye. This blog manages to tread the line between being insightful and sensitive to those seeking advice, while adding a sprinkling of humour and a fair few giggles along the way.
