Hi, my name is Brandon O'Rourke, I am 39, I'm an engineer (construction). I realize this website is not state-of-the-art but hope you'll enjoy it anyway. Below you can read a few words about things I like doing in my spare time. Here's one of my favourite songs - "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2. And another one. By the way, I think U2 is the best rock band ever.
SoccerI've been playing soccer since I was a child. I was born in Ireland, which probably makes it clear why I don't play baseball, for instance.![]() Unfortunately, there are no really good football clubs in sIreland, so I have always been a keen supporter of FC Liverpool. I still try to watch their games whenever I can. In my humble opinion what makes football the most popular sport in the world is the equality of chances. You don't need any special qualities to play, just some imagination and lots of training.
Dovetail jigsWoodworking is one of my hobbies. It's always been, since I was a teenager. You can imagine how many hours I spent in workshops. You can see my favourite dovetail jig here. Obviously, my house is full of wooden objects. My wife hates it :).
Airplane ticketsI get my airplane tickets and online.
Italian charm braceletsThis is a business story. My wife's father came up with an idea to import bracelets and sell them in America. The idea seemed crazy and... guess what - it was! He imported around 2000 of those to start and didn't sell a single bracelet :). Now every Christmas or Birthday somebody gets a bracelet. Still, house is stuffed with bracelets. Take a look what they look like.
Tom ClancyDefinitely one of my favourite writers. His stories revolve around several protagonists, among whom Jack Ryan, CIA analyst appears to be the most important. Clancy's most famous books include "Hunt for Red October", "Sum of All Fears" and "Patriots". |
