OK. I’m away to catch an eastbound train and meet a crowd of bastards flying in from Armorica.
After that, we have the annual bloggers’ drunken brawl and God-knows-what-else.
If I can get to a computer I’ll keep you a little bit up to date, but things might be fairly slack around here for a day or [...]
It’s the same everywhere. Oscars. Baftas. Tonys. Irmas.
The winner gets to make a speech and the losers have to sit there listening to the smug bastard with their jaws clenched in a grinning rictus of hatred, resentment and begrudgery.
I think things should be different at the IBLAWAs.
I think every loser should get to spew [...]
Well that’s a relief. I was beginning to worry that I’d wasted €18 in the charity shop buying that jacket, shirt and worn-but-comfortable pair of secondhand shoes.
Bock, much to my surprise, seems to have survived the shredding and remains in the two shortlists: Best Blog and Most Humorous Post, though for the life of [...]
Now that we’re both media giants … , said Wrinkly Paddy.
Yeah? I grunted, looking up from the gigantic spliff I was trying to assemble.
Well, he said, they’ll want to know where it all began.
What? Where? What?ÂÂ
Our media domination.
Eh, what?
Well, he said. You know the way myself and Wrinkly Joe are massively successful as [...]
Last Saturday, two quiet, decent, Polish men of about 30 were stabbed in the head with a screwdriver by some savage bastard. One has since died and the other is critical. The attacker was egged on by a gang of youths ranging in age from about 12 to 20 years old, boys and girls.
Now. Do [...]

Do They Think We’re Idiots?

Original post.
It certainly looks like an act of generosity, doesn’t it?
A kind-hearted politician takes pity on a staff member in trouble. The staff member’s two elderly aunts risk losing their rented home of sixty years, but just in the nick of time the politician arranges a loan of £30,000 to [...]
Here’s a few pics.
As usual, for dial-up friendliness, the rest of the shots are below the fold.
Steve Wright was convicted of murdering five women in Ipswich and all the news reports have concerned themselves with the women’s occupations.
The dead women were the children, sisters, and cousins of other living people. They had nieces and nephews. Some of them had their own children. They had friends. They had interests [...]
We’re going (as I told you) to the game in Dublin. Ireland versus Scotland in Croke Park.
Myself and the Bullet. Off to see the rugby, and to stay the night with Wrinkly Paddy. And to meet Wrinkly Joe.
And to get shitfaced in Dublin pubs.
Well, me to get shitfaced, and Bullet to stand around looking [...]
Carpentry is one of my hobbies. I like it. I enjoy working out all the little details and as time goes by, I find myself getting better at it.
Carpentry can be very good for the soul — almost a form of meditation. When you need to work out a complicated joint, or rub [...]
