Now that’s what I call something something
I backed away slowly. This was not right. The voice was not right. Hair stood up on the back of my neck.
“What do you mean ‘Why am I talking like that?’”, he said.
“That’s not your voice”.
“We all talk like this now, Twenty”.
“No. It can’t be”.
“It is. And you know it is”.
“Fuck you”.
“It’s your turn next”.
“Never. I’d kill myself before I let that happen”.
He laughed.
“Have you noticed the subtle change?”, he asked. “From insistent and hectoring, to friendly and enticing”.
“Fuck you”.
“You can’t escape. There’s no escape. And soon you will be one of us”.
I turned and ran. Ran like Logan who ran so much they named a film after his running. Ran from the land where everybody spoke with Ben Dunne’s voice. I got away. I escaped. By the skin of my teeth.
I woke shortly afterwards. I know what happened. This was not just a dream. It was a message. A vision.
He’s got to be stopped. Before it’s too late.

Having once worked in Dunne’s Stores, I have this lovely recurring dream where Ben Dunne is on the top floor windowsill of an American hotel, coked out of his box, threatening to jump, having just done the dirty with a brasser in a jaccuzi.
Then the fucker wakes up.
Pity.

You can’t run fast enough, Ibanez.
“45c a day”.
“Try it”

It’s over.

WTF does the greedy fucker want even more money for anyway? How much is enough?
November 6th, 2009 at 9:31 am
oh sweet jesus, save us from this man. News talk is constant with the ads. The lunatics over on the forum are boycotting that website which we shall not name.
On a positive note, Clive James is on Tom Dunne at 11. Just finished his fifth book of memoirs, looking forward to number 6.

Crank:You can blame Bono for saving Ben Dunne,Id say he would have taken a short walk off that balcony if the hotel management hadnt got Bono (U2 were playing a gig in Miami the night before)to calm Ben down..
You can blame Bono for a lot of things in fairness..
November 6th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Yeah, finger snappin, tax dodgin, Bob Geldof outdooin, little cunt that he is.
November 6th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Bono and Irony.
There was a feeling of disquiet among u2 fans in Berlin yesterday, when they erected a temporary ‘Wall’ around the area in which they were performing their ‘Free’ concert. It was to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin ‘wall’
November 6th, 2009 at 10:20 am
Most people at that concert would probably ,if given the choice,like a new even bigger wall built with extra machine guns and killer dogs on guard..
Like Bill Hicks said when people were rejoicing about the break-up of the USSR “Now there 12 countries with nuclear weapons,fuck you”

Oh I just heard the new ad.
Fuck your right, its worse!

“Try it once, if you don’t like it…” Ben Dunne’s views on cocaine use. Now if he sold drugs on his site it might have some useful purpose…

I was working in Tower Records when they had a fire and we moved temporarily into the old Dunne’s Stores offices on George’s Street. The offices upstairs were empty, and that’s where we went to smoke our joints.
There was a massive oil painting of Ben Dunne that had been left there which looked like it cost a few bob to have done. It now has a Hitler moustache, it’s missing a few teeth, and his massive cock is peeping out of his trousers.

I like Ben Dunne
November 6th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Why don’t you marry him then?
November 6th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
eh???
November 6th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
It’s like the Twilight Zone, where the Dunnes Stores strikers never happened, the suppliers to the supermarkets were never run into the ground by Ben Dunne , while he did his Bond villian impression by refusing to discuss anything with them, answering only “Dunnes Stores Better Value” over and over, and he was never hog tied and carried out of a hotel, raving about soldiers and snipers.
I’d have paid good money to see that!
He’s a dangerous nut, a la The Dead Zone!

My first job many, many moons ago was with Dunne’s Stores packing shelves. I clearly remember the panic and terror in the eyes of every jumped-up, spotty little ‘manager’ in the shop if they thought Ben Dunne was about to pay us a visit. They were terrified of him.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Now I said I liked him, not fancied him. I’ve seen and read interviews with him. He seems like an alright bloke. His latest ventures are somewhat misguided though.
November 6th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
He’ll be on 50 foot high talking billboards a la 1984 before you know it, you know. Ben Dunne is watching you……
November 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Yes I am.
November 6th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Holy shit!
I’m outta here.
November 6th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Come back to bed Ben…
November 6th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Oh, and here I thought you didn’t have Wal-Mart over there. Now I’ll know where to shop!
November 7th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
There you go Fat Spa, Ben Dunne’s hero is Sam Walton. Fuck the employees and the suppliers. Buy from China unless local manufacturers want to pay Chinese wages. Cheap goods appeal to the same customers who lost their jobs when you decided to buy the stuff they used to make.. from China. Dunnes just has to deal with better rules for employees because they are in Europe.

“Cheap goods appeal to the same customers who lost their jobs when you decided to buy the stuff they used to make.. from China.”
Wasn’t much of a “choice” for me, Mosheen. Disabled, on the dole, lived in the ghetto. It’s what I could afford, end of. Half the time I got my clothes at the thrift store because I couldn’t afford Wal-Mart’s clothes prices.
