Issue with the Tissue

One thing I can never do is go the shop to buy toilet roll and nothing else. If Holemaster needs hole rag he has to go the shop, buy the bog roll and something else as well. Otherwise the shop assistant, the people in the queue, the people I walk past on the way home, [...]

Tits and Ass and Fake Threats

So the Republicans have named Sarah Palin as running mate to McCain. Clever move, firstly a woman, secondly an attractive woman and thirdly a woman who is Governor of Alaska state. Now we all know that Alaska holds huge oil reserves and that Bush wants that oil, well his controllers want that oil. So the [...]

My Musical Memories

I’ve just booked my ticket for Kraftwerk playing in Lugalla in Co. Wicklow September 13th. I saw them at the Electric Picnic a few years ago before it got all arsey and cocaine fueled. Mind you I had just had a loverly big spliff and half a bottle of wine, I was only being held [...]

Continue working or travel the world?

Right, I’ve been a partner in a company now for about five years or so. It’s a successful company, I’m not a millionaire at all but it’s a steady reliable income and most of the time I enjoy it. But I have two business partners who are fucking useless. Partner 1 is a very nice [...]

I headed for a friends birthday down to a hotel in Delphi near Killary Harbour which separates Galway from Mayo to the north. It is a wild and dramatic landscape. So wild in fact that on Friday night/Saturday [...]

You’ll call Mono but you won’t call me!

Earlier this evening I had a good healthy perambulation up and down the seafront. A wonderful evening, warm and sunny, all style of jogger, walker and then…. bickerer. As I sat back in my car about to head off, my phone rang, it was the brother. As I chatted to him, out of the corner [...]

E-mails and Back Pain

I’m nearing the end of another day in work. Again, I’m stressed, I’m tired, I’m frustrated and I’ve just counted the number of e-mails I have. I got about 92 e-mails today, all of which are work and all of which have to be read, replied to, reacted to or considered in some way. On [...]

Where is West Dublin?

I just read a report in the news about a pipe bomb being found in Finglas. The picture caption states “Army Bomb Disposal Dealt with device in W Dublin”. West Dublin? Finglas is West Dublin? 
I have also recently noticed that news reports have referred to Crumlin and Drimnagh as being in West Dublin. Now, Finglas in [...]

Shwoooooossssshhhhhh

I like driving in the summer rain. I love the sound of the tyres licking the wet road, the swooooosh of passing traffic, the splats of fat raindrops falling from trees onto the windscreen, the fresh smell in the air, plants and trees all drowned and drunk. I like the reflections and diffusions of red [...]
