No doubt you’ll have learned by now that Gillian Gibbons has received a jail sentence in Sudan for naming a teddy-bear Muhammad.
The vile criminal.
Of course, like me, you’ll have followed the Khartoum police investigation with awe and amazement as their investigative unit swung into action and cracked the case within hours. What an outfit! What [...]

Looks like time to wake up the Machine.
All this talk of religious bigotry and madness reminded me of an old project that got shelved last year, and I suppose it would be no harm to tell you about it again. Especially since I came up with a few tweaks.
You see, it all started when [...]

I wrote a post called Islamic Savages a few days ago, and some people thought I shouldn’t.
Don’t know why.
Some people said I should write about George Bush instead, as if I’d never expressed a view about that warmongering cretin. As if, somehow, I’d strayed off their one, true, right-on fucking path. And you know something? [...]

Did I ever mention to you that I fucking hate business jargon, going forward?
Just thought I’d mention that.
It isn’t a new thing, you know: I’ve been around for nearly five millennia now, and it was there when I started out as a young troglodyte, barely able to skin a sabre-tooth tiger.

Why did ninety-seven terrified Irish women have to gather together in one place yesterday, under the glare of the media, and wait all day to find out if they had breast cancer?
How did it happen that these ninety-seven women heard on the news that they might have breast cancer?
When the HSE discovered that 568 ultrasound [...]

Hitler once defined a unit of measurement — the Goering — as the largest amount of metal that can be pinned to one man’s chest.
Good man Adolf. Whatever about his other faults, he had more sense of humour than the miserable street-beggar masquerading as our prime minister.
Bertie, you see, wants to introduce an honours [...]

Here’s a few pics from the rugby last Sunday. As you can see, Thomond Park is a bit of a building site at the moment, but they still managed to squeeze 12,800 people in to watch Munster beating Clermont 36-13.
If you’d like to see a slide show of the Thomond Park reconstruction, Bruff RFC have [...]

Sharon has a charming blog called The Voyage which is about all sorts of things, including her autistic child.
Sharon posted this about the claims of a charlatan called John D. Melnychuk who claims to have cured autism through homeopathy. Now, if you haven’t come across homeopathy before, let me just remind you that [...]
