The State of Irish Rugby

Sep 30th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Sport

I was going to write something about the forthcoming game with Argentina.
I was going to spout the usual drivel about how my heart tells me one thing and my head tells me another, but then I received a comment from O Sean Ici, and it only seems fair to quote his words, as a sort [...]



The Cliffs of Moher

Sep 29th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Pictures

Come on, said the Nut. Let’s go to the Cliffs of Moher.
I’ve seen the Cliffs of Moher, I said.
Oh, you have? said the Nut. Really? From the top?
Yes.
How about from the bottom?
You got me there.
Right, said the Nut. We’ll head off in the morning.
And we did. By one o’clock [...]



Happy Holocaust Holidays

Who’s this?
 

 
This is SS officer Karl Hoecker, with his dog, Favorit.  Isn’t it idyllic?  Karl and his dog.  Thirty-three years old, in the prime of life, a family man with a wife and lovely little daughter back home in Lubbecke.  He loved them.  He loved his dog.  He loved his job. 
The only problem was [...]



Three Leaders, Three Standards : Bertie, Olmert and Suu Kyi

Sep 26th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Politics, World

As I write this, Georgia are pounding the living shit out of Namibia, and all I’m thinking is, why the fuck couldn’t Ireland have done that?  
And then I’m thinking who the fuck cares?  Look at Burma.
Here we are, living in a corrupt, fucked up little country, where senior politicians have no shame.  We have [...]

The Silence of the Chewing-Gum Killer

Sep 23rd, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Crime

Well, I waited overnight and still haven’t heard from the chewing-gum killer. So now I’ll start calling him by his real first name. Maybe he’ll get in contact.
First I sent him this:
Hi there Alan.
Just to let you know that I’ve posted the first version of my report on your threatening emails. You [...]

You might remember a little while back I suggested banning chewing gum.
Well guess what? Last night I received the following email from somebody inside a chewing gum factory:

Rugby: France Hammer Ireland

Sep 22nd, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Sport

Well now.  What do you say about that?
France 25.  Ireland 3.
What the fuck do you say about that?
You could say the referee was very harsh against Ireland, and you’d be right.  He was.
But 25-3? 
Ah no.  He wasn’t harsh enough to account for that.
You could say we were unlucky.
Yes, you could say that and yes, you’d [...]
