Gurvitz was an almighty beardy dil. I saw him interviewed about “Classic” on TV once. He had no idea what to say, and the desperate interviewer ended up asking him about his spiritual life. Gurvitz lazily drifted into claiming he was a pious Christian. The look of horror on his beard as he realized what he’d said, and what his manager would say, was almost a pleasure to behold.

Definitely not the latter, that’s for sure…

There’s a mental image you don’t need…
unless of course you’re simultaneously a necrophiliac and reader of the Sunday Independent, and of course you could never be accused of the latter

And Jesus was born in a stable. Or out of a donkey’s arse or something.

And that Top 10 icons thing was strange. It was like he surrounded me with lots of people that I hate. Katy French was on top of me. Bleurgh!

“My lovely horse
Running through the field…”

Now that’s a classic. And it was wrote in a stable.

Can’t hear that song without thinking of the other one about sailing away to Key Largo. Think it was the same summer.

Aren’t you going to write a classic story about being cited as one of the top ten ‘icons of our time’ in this weekend’s Sunday Tribune? A nice piece I must say…shame you were sharing space with Katy French and Damien Rice…

Pity Dustin didn’t find a nice quiet attic somewhere – that we could lock him in and burn the feckin’ house down!

On the other hand, a puppet turkey representing a nation state [for such we are, and secure in it] at the Eurovision twat contest – now that is a classic.

Thanks Twenty. I fucking hate this song. They have to be the most stupid fucking lyrics ever written. You doubt me? Well here’s a few samples:

I mean it’s not what I mean,
I mean it’s not what it seems,
I just keep living for dreams.

I mean what kind of retarded shite is that? You’d get thrown out of playschool if you handed that bollocks to the teacher.

I was a stray boy,
And you was my best toy
Found it easy to annoy (you)

Holy sweet mother of fucking Jesus. Do you see the way he manages to cleverly rhyme boy and toy with annOY? Oh dear, ooops, have to stick a ‘you’ at the end of the line. Never mind, doubt anyone will notice. Yes, very clever if you happen to be a lobotomized gaelgor. He squeezes out the same kind of lyrical afterbirth when he pathetically tries to rhyme attic with addict (now).

Come on Twenty, you’re a man of letters now. You can’t be making references to this kind of sputum:

And I loved you in all the wrong ways,
Now listen to me say,
If it changed to another way.

Aaagh! We hates it. We hates it.

I’m gonna write my classic in my luxury 35 th. floor penthouse guest bathroom overlooking the plush recently renovated docks area. Attic me bollix.
