I took this pic in a local hostelry, and I offer it to you without comment.

Do we know yet who won the €18 million in Carlow?  I hope it’s an ordinary person and not some rich fucker who already has a big heap of money and doesn’t need any more.  There was one guy a few years back who really pissed me off.  He was a surgeon, or something like [...]

I was out for a few drinks tonight with Parkenstein.
You’re a handicapped fucker aren’t you? I happened to remark.
I am, he replied, but before we had a chance to nod at at each other drunkenly, an irate lady barged between us.
You can’t say that.
What?
Handicapped.  You can’t say that.
Why not? said Parkenstein.  I am handicapped.
You can’t [...]

There was a very peculiar half-page advertisement in the Irish Times during the week, signed by Bridget Anne Ryan, Conleth Finnegan, Claudia Carvajal and Benedict Hogan.
Have a read of this and see what you make of it.

Now.  Isn’t that exceedingly strange?

Jesus, the town is full of goose-milkers, heron-stranglers and baldy grow-badlies!
Gonad was not a happy man.

I had to be in the hospital today. 
Not for me. No.  No, it’s all right.  Fear not. Bock is fine.
No indeed.  I just had to be there for someone else, but it meant I didn’t get a chance to watch a whole lot of soccer, so unfortunately, I’m not in a position to give [...]

As I write, the match between Germany and Turkey has just kicked off, but you know by now I’m not going to say much about football.
This is certainly a touchy one though, isn’t it?  With 3 million Turkish gastarbeiter living in Germany and relations tense at the best of times, German police are on high [...]

It’s high summer, which means it isn’t freezing cold and pouring rain all the time.
No.  Instead, it’s just chilly and showery, which is how you know the difference between an Irish summer and an Irish winter.
Now, I happened to glance at the sky, and it seemed calm enough, so I thought this might be a [...]
