What do you have to do to get sacked?
Posted in Blog by Twenty Major on May 8th, 2008
So we have a new Taoiseach, a man with a face so rubbery the makers of Spitting Image couldn’t do him justice with one of their puppets.
We’ve had a bit of a cabinet reshuffle. A folk singer as Tánaiste, Battman is now the Minister for Education, the limp handshake of Seamus Brennan is gone and in order to shake up the health service the new boss man has sacked Mary Harney and brought in somebody capable of doing the job.
Shit. Erm, wait a second. No. She’s still there. The woman who has presided over scandal after scandal in our health service, who allows beaurocracy to rule the roost in the HSE, under whose watch people have died in corridors, died waiting for treatment, been told they don’t have cancer then told ‘Hang on a sec! It’s your lucky day. You do have cancer!’, contracted all kinds of superbugs which arise from lack of basic hygiene in our hospitals and generally made people more afraid of being sick than they would be of the dreaded WereRice (that mythical beast that would play you his songs on his guitar before tearing your throat out with his fangs) is still in the job she is doing so spectacularly badly.
What the fuck? Were any one of us to mismanage in such a fashion, to be so blatantly crap at our job, we’d be through our disciplinary process and out the fucking door before you could blink. So what has Mary Harney got on Ahern and Cowen that allows her to keep her job?
Are there incriminating pictures from the Cabinet Christmas Party? Is she some kind of witch and has put a spell on them? Do FF really need the PDs that badly?
Under Bertie’s watch we saw standards in the health service decline during a period of great prospertity. With belts being tightened already how the fuck is Mary Harney going to make things any better? If she couldn’t do it when there was cash flowing how is she going to do it now? Cowen had a chance to acknowledge that under the previous administration things were wrong and could be improved. He shafted Mary Hanafin, thankfully, and perhaps things will improve in the Department of Education.
He wasn’t brave enough to get rid of Harney though and unfortunately the effects of her reign as Monster of Health are affecting people every single day in this country.
Mistake number 1, Biffo, and sadly, for some people, it’s going to fatal.
Of course then the question is who would take her place?
May 8th, 2008 at 9:22 am
It’s a good question. I think ‘Someone Else’ would be a good candidate.

I like Cowen and am A Fianna Fail voter but christ he’s made a massive mistake here.
It may have been a case whereby no other cunt wanted to take the job.
May 8th, 2008 at 9:35 am

“He shafted Mary Hanafin, thankfully” – I too am thankful that he took on this onerous task, a tub of KY Jelly and the best fluffers in the business couldn’t get me to do this job.
Clearly he’s got the balls for the business; with his stick in his hand Biffo will make us all hurl (Aussie word usage at work here)!

It is the job from hell and he doesn’t want a good fianna failer ruined until he is ready to ruin them by giving the hospital pass that is the Health portfolio. Mary has her problems but I honestly think she is the one person who can sort it out as she has no party left and ignores all the lobbying shite from FFs around the country. Give her time and it will be sorted I think.
*awaits anti Mary Harnet backlash from Brian*

You know something, why would anybody get sacked when Irish people just sit back and do nothing. I swear to God, they infuriate me with their cowardly bastardness. They go on and on about the health service, education, traffic etc but when ,oh when do they ever get off their fat arses and do anything? I mean seriously when has anybody here ever protested or wrote a letter or complained at all to a TD? People rip the piss out of French people but were anything that goes on here to happen in France there would be uproar. I mean look at that St Luke’s protest all the people who commented on the post you had and did anybody really bother their arse going? No, there was like 100 people (I kept an eye out for you but did not see you). And then look at the “big protest” about the health services in town a couple of weeks ago. The turn out was pitiful and that husband of that poor lady - who died as a direct result of an incompetent Government - was the only person to make an honest and commendable statement. Aside from his well-spoken talk, the rest of the speakers just aimlessly waffled and the only thing to become more apparent in the wake of their words of wisdom was their political agenda.
If you want people sacked or even just to see accountability get off your arses boys and girls and do something constructive about it. Nobody will do anything because just like Mr Yeats said all those years ago and just like you and others highlighted in November, “Romantic Ireland is Dead and Gone”. All we have left is cowards with the “unless it directly affects my life” attitude. I am ashamed to be Irish.

There is nobody in FF willing to take on the health portfolio and it suits FF to let let the PD’s take the blame on this fine mess.
Why the PD’s would want to be associated with this mess is beyond me. Is “The Minge” deluded in actually thinking she can sort this out.
What do FF have over her that she is willing to readily take it up the ass, dont forget she came in handy when CJ needed a patsy to get him off a nasty hook.
Oh yeah, last but not least, they’re all Uber Cunts…

It pains me to agree with you, but I do.
While politics seems to have different rules to other jobs, Mary’s failures have been collossal.
As is Cowan’s first.

bureaucracy rather than beaurocracy.
I believe I mentioned this word in a previous post as being a tricky bugger but obviously you weren’t listening.
50 lines of “bureaucracy is a tricky bugger, but J5 is still a cunt” on my desk for 1pm.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:06 am

Who knows what is going on between those two? Sobering thought though - Biffo and Rosánne making the beast with 2 backs.

Why start at the top? Why not sack the doctors/nurses directly responsible for wrong-doing, misdiagnosis? That poor child now without a healthy kidney…why look for Mary Harney’s head on a platter? Sack the people directly responsible - we wouldn’t be long cleaning up the health-service then. But no, much better to bang our chests and call for action that ain’t gonna happen, but it’s a safe option largely because of the points made by Nonny above.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:10 am

very good twenty, now don’t do it again or you’ll get transferred to the christian brothers school, and we all know what happens there. *makes finger in hole gesture*
May 8th, 2008 at 10:16 am

I hope the entire health service all die in a barn fire, their noxious, wheat filled bodies sizzling and crackling and producing the kinds of emissions that a 20 year old Cortina would make. That’d be fucking sweet.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:17 am

“bureaucracy is a tricky bugger, but J5 is still a cunt”
J5 may be a cunt but at least he doesn’t go round quoting that awful mad old tosser yeats like the anti-christ nonny!

Cortinas went out of production in 1985
May 8th, 2008 at 10:20 am

I hope Brian dies in a fire. Just after killing his own children and shooting his wife. That would be sweet. Because then he’d be a poor, downtrodden bastard because he killed himself and not an evil cunt because he didn’t.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:29 am

I think the big problem with Health is no one else wants the job. It will only be when things improve that people will be willing to take the Health job. Mary can do whatever she wants and ironically the worse things get in the Health Service the safer her job is.
I find it stranger that Martin Cullen survived. What has he done since he lost access to the Dept of Transports press release printer? Last time I saw or heard from him was when he walked into the Dail during the last cabinet reshuffle in 2007.

Johnny S - I copied that quote from what Twenty said about the Green Party. So take you moronic complaint up with him.
Lorcan the Lion - good moniker, by the way - you’ll notice I’m generally avoiding responding to your comments. This is because frankly you’re not making much sense and I wouldn’t like to unwittingly stumble into an online argument with a retarded boy.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:40 am
18
I don’t give a shit if you respond or not but as your opinion of the people who comment here is so low it would hardly be unwitting if you were to ’stumble into an argument’ with a ‘retarded boy’, would it?
May 8th, 2008 at 10:45 am
19
Brian, are you this unpopular in real life too? Do you spend a lot of time alone, thinking up cutting remarks to make at people and then wondering why you have no friends?
The best time to analyse this is when you are laying on your dank pillow at night, recounting the day’s brilliant put-downs to yourself.
That creeping feeling of horror that you keep pushing away… that’s the dawning realisation that you are a sap and all alone in life.
May 8th, 2008 at 10:46 am

hehe, you’re a cunt but thats pretty good.

FF members would all probably be still terrified of sacking ministers after the albert reynolds’ debacle of 93(i think).
May 8th, 2008 at 11:22 am
22
Mary Harney has to tighten her belt???
I think Brian is quite funny. He is also a bit of a cunt. It’s also amusing the way people rise to him. Who needs to get a life?
Huzzah for Brian.

Brian yo never answered my question about how twenty was hoisted by his own pertard, and what the pertard was that he used to blow himself up (thank you google)
Twenty, are we going to keep giving out about Harney for ever and ever and ever?
I visited an elderly relative in hospital recently, and everthing was running fine, except it was the day of the march against the health service in dublin and every fifteen minutes all these hard working nurses and docs had to hear the radio sqwaking out reports of what a shit job they were all doing…
May 8th, 2008 at 11:56 am

Johnny S - I copied that quote from what Twenty said about the Green Party. So take you moronic complaint up with him.
Firstly, it’s Johnny5, not Johnny S.
Secondly, stick your face in a blender.
May 8th, 2008 at 11:57 am
26
Sam, to be hoist by one’s own petard means to fall victim to a trap one set for someone else. In this instance, Twenty has made a career out of launching agressive, foul-mouthed attacks on people on the internet. I’ve now turned the tables on him and he’s run home crying with his tail between his legs.
May 8th, 2008 at 11:59 am
27
Good comeback, Johnny S.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
28
I think this whole brian twenty showdown is going to have a happy ending.
Think of Twenty as the stubborn recaltricent hero in the tale and Brian as the loose canon who wants to shake up the establishment.
They start off as oppisites fighting each other then a grudging respect.
Followed swiftly by lust.
We could have jackie chan playing twenty and chris rock as brian.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
29
recaltricent doesn’t seem to appear in any online dictionary but I’m sure its a word.
Also I tend to spell opposites incorrectly.

Doctors are arrogant bastards - think McCann, nurses are lazy cunts with chips on their shoulders because they aren’t doctors and the rest of health-care “workers” are wasters - with a few exceptions. Still, doesn’t excuse the rotten organisation.
Brian - copyright infringing bastard!

“I’ve now turned the tables on him and he’s run home crying with his tail between his legs.”
Wow, this poor boy has serious delusions of grandeur.
I’m sorry I was so hard on him before. He needs to be handled with care.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
35
Brian, if you need someone to talk to, something bringing you down, just let it out. We are all here for you.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:09 pm

Sean Penn would be my casting for Twenty and Phil Collins for Brian.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
37
“Only in your own mind”
Oh yeah, well where’s Twenty right now then? Read back through threads, he only weights in when he thinks he can land a punch.
Its been quite a while.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
38
twenty I hope you dont get excited, and accidentally post a brian comment as Twenty or vice versa… you dual personality freak..
May 8th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
39
I would see them as Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffman
May 8th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
40
Sam - Twenty doesn’t have the wit, the prose or the vocabulary to be me. Also, if he was going to stage a fight, he’d probably stage one in which he was winning, not one in which he was being so roundly thrashed.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
41
How about the screaming panicky guy (he always plays the same character, he had an alien in him in alien 4, and he had to wear the knife cock thing in se7en) for Brian and the “i dunno boss” guy from Desperado who is white rather than mexican and has a big moustache and a cowboy hat for twenty.
Two of the best actors of our generation. no questions asked.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
42
BRIAN. STOP. Nobody is being thrashed. That isn’t happening. You are seriously messed up. Have you, by any chance, suddenly stopped taking medication?
May 8th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
43
Supergrover - you assume I’m some embittered loser. I can see how that would make sense but still only a guess and, as it happens, you’re wrong. My motivation is 100% to do with what Twenty said about that Wexford case.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
44
regular posters here have actually noticed he always goes missing of an afternoon… we used to joke about what he may be doing… Do you remember that lads?
JOKING!!!
It used to be fun.

May 8th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

Mogor - can you post a jpeg of the panicky guy, I can’t place him.
Maggot - Phil Collins!? FFS!
May 8th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
47
Brian, why are you taking the Clonroche thing so personally? Have you in the past gone bonkers and killed your wife and kids? Did the shotgun jamb when you tried to blow off your own head?
May 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
48
It was Phil Collins, Harold Shipman or Gary Glitter - but Collins got the nod Brian.
But Twenty is a dead ringer for Sean Penn.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
49
Brian, just went back and read it. The theme seems to be that if you kill your own kids you’re a cunt. And that it is hard to imagine how anyone could commit such an act. Had a scan for your name in the comments but couldn’t find any.
Still none the wiser.

Hey Brian, what is your problem with what was posted on the wexford murder/suicide. It’s just an opinion.
I dont agree with this opinion myself but I understand why people would have this opinion. I would’nt be holding a grudge or starting a hate campaign whenever somebody expresses an opinion that is contrary to my own. Lifes to short to risk ending up a bitter and twisted cunt.
Lastly if you do feel a need to vent you should check out Nailerzzzzz bebo site - I’m sure he’d love the witty wise cracks
May 8th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
52
Yeah, do go back and re-read it. Because it’s utterly despicable.
Firstly, note Twenty’s use of bland, editorial language in the first two paragraphs. This is the set-up for the punchline which comes at the end of the second paragraph in which he calls Diarmud Flood a cunt.
He said cunt. Wow.
Bear in mind also that this tragedy had just happened and Twenty’s thesis rested entirely on speculation. Even pond scum like the Evening Herald would at least send a reporter to the scene before publishing intrusive, insensitive and exploitative reports on a human tragedy.
Notice also how Twenty repeats the childrens ages (”five and six”) throughout to ratchet up the emotion. This is a bog standard tactic of tabloid scum. If these same children grew up to break his back window playing football or (God forbit) join the Green Party he’d be using the same forum to wish violent death upon them.
In the first comment after his piece, someone called Gluaistean posits the theory that this might have something to do with the fact that we now live in a Godless society. I don’t agree with that, but it is a valid comment. After all, without God, human life can be valued, but it cannot be sacred.
Incredibly, considering what has gone before it, Twenty jumps on this guy and accuses him of being insensitive.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:48 pm

“Leland Orser”
The resemblance is uncanny.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
54
So, based on that, is there some reason why you haven’t confined your comments to that particular thread? Because going on and on and on about day after day in threads which have no relevance to the one you’re all pissed off about just makes you look like a sad bastard.
What makes you so important that the people that come to this site are being forced to listen to your opinion over and over again? You expect Twenty to talk to you or to argue with you but frankly you don’t have the manners of a two year old. You insult him, the site, his book, the readers, the people who comment here, yet you wonder why you’re being ignored.
Grow the fuck up, Brian.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

Good boy, Lorcan.

Me, I go to Irish Times for dispassionate fact based journalism, Dunnes for jocks and socks and here for personalised and often bombastic viewpoints. And to get a giggle out of Monkey Balls et al…
May 8th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
57
Answer the question, Brian. If you can.
May 8th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
58
He doesn’t answer serious questions, Lorcan. He hasn’t answered mine from 2 days ago or Lucy’s from yesterday. He just waits till you use a swear word and then patronises you. If you hadn’t ended your post with grow the fuck up he’d have ignored you altogether.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
59
Oh Lorcan, you do amuse me. I ignored your questions because the answers were too obvious to be bothered typi9ng.
I’m continuing the beef with Twenty because I now have a personal grudge against him. For every one of his minions who retaliate against me, I’m hoping there are one or two others reading this who think “Fucking hell, this guy might just be onto something…”
As for why I continue when I’m being igored. Yeah, that might have sounded better if it hadn’t come at the end of a 200 word post about me. Now go back to your train set, good lad.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
60
Oh Christ, what was your question so Tinman and I’ll answer it? Lucy’s too if you have it to hand.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

May 8th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

You’re the one so clever at copying comments from previous posts. Go back and have a look.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
63
Brian, did you think you were going to cut a swathe through this site, enlightening those poor lambs who frequented here, dazzled by the c word, using your self-proclaimed skills of prose and vocabulary to shine a harsh light on the vanity and silliness of the whole pursuit?
Well, you had a go. Fair play. But you met some people who don’t need it. Thanks. Your message is now across. We get it.
So now maybe join in without being a negative prick all the time or fuck off. Just a suggestion.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

…..because I now have a personal grudge against him.
Why?
May 8th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
65
Here, every day for the last few these threads are starting to look very same old, same old. The blog posts (regardless of one’s opinion of them) used to be a jumping off point for discussion, slagging and funny obscenity. Them’s were the days.
Brian - “without God, human life can be valued, but it cannot be sacred” - dunno about that, seems an atheist still values the human machine as the pinacle of a stunning natural process, and could be considered sacred.
Maggot - doctors are not lazy cunts, some are, but that’s just people, some nurses are excellent, but all are working in an environment where they are encouraged not to think.
Reckon Harney was kept to keep the blame away from FF, and to make the government look like it digs coalition.

68
Brian, I’ve just re read the thread and I still dont agree with what was expressed by Twenty and a lot of people. I expressed an opinion on the day that there is no sense to be made out of the situation and I moved on.
You have a bee in your bonnet about somebody expressing an opinion you dont agree with. You’ve expressed your opposition to this opinion and now the rest of us have to rehash the whole thread all over again.
Get over yourself and start your own blog where you have total control over the wit, the prose and the vocabulary content. Honestly Brian, I would check out your blogg, but please stop shitting all over somebody else’s blog like an autistic savant with scatological issues
May 8th, 2008 at 1:12 pm

Some very fucking funny donegal-ers on the news last night. Fair play to RTE for finding the biggest mentalists in the county and sticking them on TV. “It’s the best thing to ever happen to the county” they said.

May 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm

Tinman - I’ve had a look, can’t find your question. Can you at least tell me what thread its in?
RandomNoise - sacred means pertaining or connected to a supreme deity. If there’s no God nothing can be considered sacred.
Peadar - connection to Wexford tragedy.
SuperGrover - fair point, I’ll consider fucking off soon.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
72
Maggot - doctors are not lazy cunts,
I didn’t say they were !
“Doctors are arrogant bastards - think McCann”
And I did qualify it with “with a few exceptions.”
May 8th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
73
I am not having an argument about the Health Service again.
Twenty, you are being a lazy bastard with the Harney Bashing, she has been trying to get work-practice changes in the Health Service for years, but every time, they yell “STrike” and all the fucking hug-monkeys come out and tell us how great the nurses are.
They are great, but they are also heavily fucking unionised, won’t budge an inch, I’ll wash my hands when I feel like it people occasionally.
Can I also register a huge rise in my personal mirth level when Brian posited the theory that people are going to be thinking “Hey this guy is on to something”
“Twenty writes lazy blog” is hardly an earth shattering.
I think that for every person that attacks you here Brian, there are about 15 more that are thinking “What an asshole, but best not to engage him”
Well 14, given that I have just done it.

Rob, I like the word ‘posited’. Something pleasing about it.

My question is in post number 97 in the “How much do you care about Global Warming” thread.
Anyone who goes and looks there might be interested in Brian’s comment number 78.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
78
Sorry maggot - did miss read that.
Brian - does “sacred” not also have an additional meaning of being entitled to respect and protection? Is it only ever used in relation to a deity? Always though it could be used for non-god reasons too. “If there’s no god nothing can be considered sacred” sounds like one of the arguments used against Dawkins and his ilk, and one which I always found a bit empty.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
79
Sorry shit - “always thought”, not always though. Stupid fingers.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

Brian, there is no such thing as god.

81
Sorry all, I shouldn’t be provoking. But it’s true.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:31 pm

And you god types think that you have the monopoly on spirituality.
Remember - Religion is the hijacking of spirituality for political gain.

At what point does somebody like Brian become spam and treated as such?
Here, every day for the last few these threads are starting to look very same old, same old. The blog posts (regardless of one’s opinion of them) used to be a jumping off point for discussion, slagging and funny obscenity. Them’s were the days.
How many others now have a pain in their gooch with all this? Brian, if you have something to say to me, send it by email.
Otherwise stop turning every thread on this blog into your own childish ‘Look how smart I am’, patronising, vendetta.

The gooch stings me something terrible. I still think we can turn Brian around in the way that he though he was going to do to us. What a twist! If the other shite keeps up, I would call it trolling.

Brian, the comment Tinman refers to is an excellent one. Conveniently ignored, eh?

Maggot - so does that support me (number 3)? Cheers. I’m assuming it does.

Yes indeed Rob, ‘“What an asshole, but best not to engage him”
Now if I thought there was any hope that I might garner a witty riposte from the miserable tosser, I might be tempted.
But I’m not.

RN: I think colloquially ’sacred’ could be used in that way. As in, my mother’s brown bread recipe is sacred. But strictly speaking the word cannot be seperated from its religious meaning.
I don’t believe in God either SG, so I’m not sure what your point is.
Tinman: sorry I died of boredom about two lines into. Rephrase the question in a more concise fashion and I’ll consider responding to it.
Re: my post at no. 77 on that thread. Holy shit, I must have been drunk. I have no recollection of posting that whatsoever. Still, its much less embarrassing than Twenty’s lame response to it.
Next time you wanna insult me Twenty, may I suggest: “I heard you got a brain transplant and the brain rejected you!”

Brian - “without God, human life can be valued, but it cannot be sacred”
were you misquoted?
Actually, based on your last post, don’t bother answering.
I officially join the ranks of ‘it just encourages him’

Indeed it does Random Noise.
Brian is flaming - no reasonable person could blame Twenty for banning the cunt as he’s only here to cause trouble and spoil the site which others enjoy.

Brian, By any chance are you an only child?
May 8th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Tell you what Tinman, I’ll give you a short answer. When you’re clever, you don’t need to put any work into being clever. When you’re not clever, you do. And even when you do put a lot of effort into it you still often come across like a child with a mouthful of words he doesn’t quite understand.
The John Gormley post took me about five seconds to put together.

Dessiegee, I come from a large family.
SG: “Without God, human life can be valued, but it cannot be sacred”. This implies that I believe in God how exactly?
May 8th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
96
That’s exactly my point, Brian. It was all what you think of as cleverness, with no sense of humanity at all.

Brian - too many posts. sssshhhh.
If a gooch is a part of your anatomy between your testicles and your asshole, is gucci an adjective for something like that?
ie “Fabulous jacket, is it goochey?”

Brian, the vulgarity of truth must never be allowed impede the sanctity of comedy. This is not the blog you were looking for.
Print that out on sandpaper, and stick it up your hole!

My hole, Tinman. As it happens I care a great deal about what happened in Wexford. Its Twenty doesn’t give a shit about those people. If he did he wouldn’t have weighed in the way he did and used the incident as fodder for his outraged cartoon character he has created for this blog.
Almost all of you have alluded at some point or other to the fact this site is not to be taken seriously. If that’s the case then why wade into a tragedy that had just happened to real people in such a monumentally insensitive way.

Jesus, Morgor, is that what it means?
What’s the story with Colin the Gooch Cooper then?
May 8th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
101
Nah - surely then a Guuci jacket is one made from pieces of gooch sewn together.
Coopers gooch is just very large, I’ve heard. He’d be worth a fortune on the rag trade black market.

See the way I did that Brian, eh?
You don’t fully understand what you’re dealing with here.
You will feel the wrath of my bombast if you don’t just fuck off.

eh? never heard of “Colin the Gooch Cooper”.
What’s that from?
A cooper makes barrels, if I recall correctly, that would mean barrels made out of treated gooches I would logically assume.

Your hole right back, Brian. You took the incident and used it to make a point.
I’ve no doubt that you care a great deal about Clonroche. Every one does. There are 2 schools of thought whenever anyone commits suicide - pity for the despair of the person, and anger at their selfishness. Those emotions are usually felt at the same time by the same people. With familicide the feelings are even stronger, as shown by the many comments for and against Twenty that day. The fact that his anger at the death of the children outweighed any sympathy he may have felt for Diarmuid Flood does not mean that he “doesn’t give a shit”.
Both of you cared about what happened, just not in the same way.

GAA fella, Morgor - plays for Kerry, bit of a hero.

He plays for Kerry, Morgor the obviously-not-a-gah-man.

Brian..
What is your problem..Frequent reader but not poster..I enjoy comming here to read the blog and read all the comments.Im not here for a moral lesson.So please get off your high horse and go on some other crusade that might be actually worthy of your self proclamied talent with the written word.

Morgor, fancy a pint? I just got a nice ounce of hash, and I the goo on me for a few outdoor pints.
Same time, same place?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! This is like some meeting for anal retentives. And Brian if you come back with some rejoinder about what a fucking anal retentive is, and how i have used it in the wrong context, then I am going to interent surf over to your house and fucking give you a Real anal problem.

Monkey Balls, by the way, your new blog seems to be infuriatingly slow.. Or is it just me… Way to slow to be commenting on. Maybe the big fancy backdrop is slowing it down??

Brian - A Large family, you say - were there not enough hugs to go around. Did you find the only way to get attention was to be offensive and swing from the “in your face” attitute to the “I’m bored with all of you” attitude.

Hey MB, got too much stuff to do this week so won’t be able for pints til next week at least i’m afraid. so very afraid.
Pinting mid-week is almost a thing of the past for me now. *sob*
