POTTY-MOUTHED Irish blogger Twenty Major has cashed in with a two-book deal with Hodder Headline, the first such blogger book deal in Ireland. It follows similar blogger book deals for London call girl Belle du Jour, US political blogger Wonkette and British blogger Catherine Sanderson. Sanderson’s scathing accounts of her Paris employer’s work practices on her blog, Petite Anglaise, got her sacked. She somewhat made up for it with a sixfigure deal with Penguin.
Twenty Major, which attracts some 1,500 readers a day from 60 countries, is best known for his use of, erm, colourful metaphors generally involving female genitalia and digital-anal self abuse. Whether Twenty’s style is a hit in bookshops will be anyone’s guess, but of even greater interest will be whether the blogger’s 200-word-rant style can succeed for 200 pages. We wish him well.
Our tip for the next Irish blogger to get a book deal: Red Mum. Google her and read why.”
Having a lazy day, eh Major? Well they do say that Sunday is a day of rest… not a day of rest from consuming, mind!
Never, Fred. The more I can consume and the more waste I can make the happier I am.
More for you to scavenge as well.
It’s a little known fact that the april fools joke was invented in Jerusalem some 2,000 years or so ago by a girl called Mary
Congratulations Twenty, ye bollix!
I just seen the news about your book deal.
I can’t wait to read it so I can’t.
Fair play to ye, ye cunt. Heh.

whats “digital-anal self abuse”? can you get electrocuted doing it?
To forage, Major, not scavenge!
My recent urban foragings have produced a perfectly functional television set and a fan! Not exactly the waste of time people may think, eh?
“BLOGGASM EDITION – TWENTY MAJOR SPARKS UP”
I didn’t think you were writing that kind of book!?
“digital-anal self abuse”: is he photoshopping pictures of his anus into uncomfortable situations(back of a volkswagon)?
Re: Today’s post – and HE’s the one with a book deal..
I have to say the ‘digital-anal self abuse’ line baffled me a little.
“digital-anal self abuse” = sitting on your Sky dish with no clothes on, and the antenna up your arse.
And then you press the red button repeatedly, I imagine
I’d have gone for a ‘Melvin’ rather than a straight-up slap.
