localpages.ie, buggy, broken and not interested in feedback

Dear localpages.ie

I just encountered the following error when browsing your site, did you test it or have you outsourced this to customers? Never mind, I did try and send it to you so that you could fix it but as you've intentionally left out any means of contacting you on your website I was unable to do so. Since I would like the problem fixed and since I would like to tell you your site is broken so that you can fix it and I might enjoy using your site at some point in the future, I think the only way of telling you about your broken site is to post the details here in the hope that you find them on a web search.

If you weren't so rude and difficult and made it impossible for people to reach you I would have sent this in an email instead.

Cutting yourself off from customers is rarely a good tactic. Other websites take note.

p.s. Good programmers trap their errors.

Jammin' at the voodoo

Just back from an outstanding blues gig in Edinburgh, free. Tonight included Sandy from the legendary Blues'n'trouble that I was asking about back in 1993 and who have toured and guested with the likes of BB King and Robert Cray. To give you an idea of the superb standard of tonight's gig, BB King called B'n'T the "best white blues band in the world", read their reviews on amazon.co.uk.


Unbelievable for a free gig with such talent that there was such a small audience. Those that could hear the gig from the street outside were surprised by the unexpected treat. Watch the facebook group or myspace for details of the next jam! Many thanks to Ash Gupta for the event and an excellent performance himself!
