Sky Handling Partners lost my bags and all I got was a date with Damien Mulley
Damien Mulley, the gentleman who brings us the Irish Blog awards, tirelessly champions the cause of the Irish broadband consumer and the man who coined the immortal phrase ‘Dialup Demspey’ to describe our former minister for the environment has an interesting tale to tell over on his website.
It seems Sky Handling Partners, who lost Damien’s luggage and failed miserably to return it to him were not best pleased when he vented his anger on his blog. In response it appears they signed him up for a bunch of dating websites and went about their merry way, no doubt chuckling at the monstrous evil of their black deeds.
These ditchbrained gobshites did not realise that the interwubs knows all, sees all and tells all to those so inclined to run a reverse DNS search. Head over to Damien’s site as he considers his response. I say bring on the manbeaters, but wiser heads may prevail.
UPDATE: Damien’s story hit the Digg frontpage. 1771 Diggs and counting, one visitor per second to his website. Power to the people baby!

Caught son! CAUGHT! But what–in this age of ages–is the reasonable response to a burn of this magnitude? My initial thought is a low-tech one: a muck spreader full of Liffey water, set to ‘high spray’ outside their headquarters on a nice hot summer’s day when all the windows are open and the stench of the hot stew of diarrhoea and gonorrhetic condoms will have exactly the desired effect.
Alternatively the digital equivalent–i.e., what he’s doing right now–would do just as well. For a company who are clearly internet-savvy (as the vanity search and resulting reaction would suggest), this is clearly pretty bad.
Even better if his story could appear as the #1 search result in Google.

Actually, he’s in at #2, with ‘Sky Handling Partners Are…’. Catchy title.

I wonder where their “WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US” link goes?
See irony here. Also, website hideously broken when viewed in Firefox.

Oh, hold on.
You said exactly this on the comments thread.
About the #2 result in Google.
BAH

I said the same on his blog, let’s get it to number 1. 40 odd inbound links and counting. I reckon the next time google crawls by Sky Handling are in for a shock.
