The radio is always good for a bit of entertainment. While I’m a big music fan, one look at my profile will indicate that few bands I like ever get played on it. So I really only listen to talk radio. In Dublin that means Newstalk 106. Fine station, it is. Sean Moncrieff is the […]
Wow, it’s been over a month! I guess I’m kinda sharing time between so many sodding things these days, there is just little time left over to make up semi-amusing rants about inane subjects. One thing that did jump to mind today was the biological clock. I was descending the escalator at our local shopping […]
I was walking over Milltown bridge the other evening and engraved in some now-dry cement were the words “Pope John Paul II We Love You”. First of all you can’t blame the perpetrator for this act of Christian vandalism. God did set the ball rolling after all with his archaic etch-a-sketching on Mount Sinai. I […]
I was half-way through writing something serious about religion and how I have no time for it, when I just got bored and stopped. My head’s been wrecked from playing this whole ‘religion’ thing around it for years now so I don’t know what I was hoping to achieve on a blog that a handful […]
The word on “the street” is that Knight Rider is making a comeback this year – a big screen adaptation of a brilliant car and a man who doesn’t exist. Wasn’t that how it went? A cop, Michael Long, got shot in the face and was left for dead. Rich lunatic, Wilton Knight, saves the […]
I saw a guy on the tram home last night holding a large envelope against his chest that I assume was his, and had printed on it “PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL”. I have a feeling that holding this envelope made him feel incredibly important. ‘Look at me! I received mail that’s so important the sender had […]
I’m a big fan of road rage. This, of course, is the expression of exasperation at the complete and utter (a) ignorance, (b) inability and/or (c) stupidity, of other drivers on the road. The roads are full of them. It’s almost like it’s compulsory to be a complete tosser when behind the wheel of a […]
As you might have gathered from the limited photo on this site, my hair is long. Ok it’s long in some places. I’ll be man enough to admit that maybe the fringe isn’t really as … how shall I put this … “existing”. But the rest of it is long and I like to think […]
Ever see that “Leprechaun” film? Well, ever see any of the six they made? A little Irish leprechaun fella (played by Warwick Davis – above) kills a fat bloke who stole his pot o’ gold. He then embarks on an emphatic, and frankly indiscriminate, killing spree that takes him to Vegas, outer space and, of […]
They All Think Its Over It’s all over for Manchester United apparently. Well if you believe the vultures that are surrouding Old Trafford, in the shape of opposition fans, the media, and indeed their very own loyal prawn sandwich-loving fans. With the sale of Jaap Stam leaving a hole the size of the channel tunnel […]
