Thanks for visiting, as you may have figured out my name is Derry O’Donnell and yes, I’m fantastic (You can decide that for yourself, I just like the way it shows up in Google when I vainly search for my name 
)
I am the editor/publisher of a new Irish nationwide magazine called Life and Fitness which contains informative articles on fitness, health, weight loss, nutrition, wellness, sport and travel. It is distributed free of charge through gyms and leisure centres and is for sale in newsagents. You can view the latest issues online here. You can visit our blog here and join us on Twitter here and also on Facebook
I am also the editor/publisher of the Tipp Tatler, a free fortnightly magazine distributed throughout North Tipperary and surrounding district.You can visit our blog here join us on Twitter here and on Facebook
I am also co-founder of wedding planning website www.willyoumarryme.ie. It initially started as a site to provide ideas for people planning to propose marriage but has since expanded to include all wedding related articles and businesses. We have a blog for this here.
It’s not all work either though. Weekends can find me scuba diving with this lot I even set up a Facebook page for Irish Divers, although I’m not very active with it (and you don’t have to be Irish to join )
To find out how I got involved in those go to the ‘Who am I ?’ and ‘What am I doing?’ posts. You’ll find them somewhere else on this blog, until I get to grips with it myself.
I am married with 3 kids. Life is good.
Oh yeah if you want to join me for a chat on Twitter I’m @derryo
Hi Derry,
I’ve been aware of the Tipp tatler for a long time now … I often wondered who published it, it’s a pretty handy little mag. with seriously good distribution coverage.
In fact the best Ad. I’ve ever seen appeared in a copy about 6 – 8 months ago, for drain services: “We don’t talk s***e, we clear it!” I have to admit that one had me in hysterics!
Keep up the good work!
Tony
Hi Tony,
Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the ads
Hi Derry, I’m assuming that you are Michael and Noreen’s son from Borris. I’ve come accress your blog accidentally as I was checking on the Tipp Team for the match against Limerick. What a lovely surprise. Are everybody still alive there? as one wouldn’t know from all the silence. You certainly seem to be . Keep shaking the flag and making a rattle as it’s the noisy hinge which gets the oil. Hopefully I’ll see you soon .Please pass my fondest regards to all my relations. Bye for now —God Bless.
