Buffini's Blog

I’m lying in bed thinking about munchies after several drinks. Tomorrow I’ll write a post on one of my favourite snacks, the bruschetta style mushroom and olive beastie.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Probably some of the greatest cartoons there ever were. Watching back over these is almost like swimming in a great big vat of cheese…
Some of my favourites:

Voltron:

Thundercats:

He-Man:

But standing head and shoulders above them all there was – BraveStarr:

And just for good measure…

Quick update on how Niamh got on this morning on Ireland AM…..

So the lines have now closed and we’re all waiting with bated breath to see how she gets on tonight.

Go Niamh!!!!

In case there is anyone reading this that I haven’t screeched at already – my sister, Niamh Buffini, is currently in the running for the new presenter spot on Xpose on TV3. Shes in the final nine and, sadly, she’s up for public vote this week. If anyone happened to have a spare text to send could they text NIAMH to 53306 to keep her in, cos you know you want to. Here’s the competition website.

Shes the glamour girl of the family and has aaaaaaaallllways been into this fashiony type stuff, so it’s perfect for her.

I only found out about it pretty recently, and have been trying to persuade everyone I can think of to vote for her, cos naturally I don’t want any of those other loonies winning over our Niamh!!

Here’s some photos and such like – in addition to being in the running for a very prestigious presenter job, she’s also part of the Irish National TaeKwonDo team, and has been to various championships around the world, winning prizes at national, regional and even global levels, so shes not just a pretty face, shes also capable of taking your head off if you don’t vote for her.

And in case you didn’t believe me about the taking your head off bit,  heres some samples of her in action:
