Back in the day, Hugh was a civil servant by day but by night, and at weekends, he was a full on tranny. We knew him because he grew up around us and would, from time to time, come into Ron’s for a drink.
“Babycham, please”, he’d ask Ron and Ron would give him a pint of Guinness. He got on particularly well with Dirty Dave. They just seemed to click for some reason and although I thought I sometimes saw a glint in Dave’s eye nothing untoward ever happened.
Not until one night that is. He came in, they sat at the end of the bar drinking Canadian Club and ginger ale, and could barely keep their hands off each other. Ron doesn’t allow any kind of heavy petting in his bar, which is a very good thing considering what might have happened, and when he went for a trip to the bathroom our 6’4 in a dress and heel mate had somewhat cooled his ardour.
He said he was off to Sides, Dublin’s most trannytastic nightclub, and he was going on his own. Dave was gutted. Of course we ignored him and continued to drink and tell hilarious stories. At the end of the night I found Dave sitting in the snug with his Sony Discman on.
“All right, Dave?”
“Not really”, he sniffed.
“What are you listening to there?”
“Foreigner”
“Foreigner? Why?!”
“Isn’t it obvious, Twenty”, he said. “I’ve been waiting for a girl like Hugh, to come into my life”.
He never met a girl like Hugh before?
I wanna know what love is and I want Hugh to show me.
my manners. great stuff again – Dave was gutted. Of course we ignored him and continued to drink and tell hilarious stories
evil fuckers
I’ve got a Sony Discman running into my amp; something blew; I am wearing a dress. It’s a temporary job, only the last four years or so.

Sides. Jaysus I remember it. Many people had their first in ‘e’ in there. Not to mention The Apartments and Elevator (I think?).
Up there with I’m a primate dancer Hugh dances for money and any ol monkey will do.
Remember that one Twenty?
I remember them all, noddy.
Especially this one, becaause Hugh do something to me …
Fuck Hugh.
Was he listening to one of these?
Hugh are the precious gift of sprintime….or
I love Hugh for sentamental reasons, i hope you will believe me, I’m giving Hugh my heart.
Is Fionnan Sheahan Mary Coughlans sister? The dozy fuck just displayed his “keep the status quo” philosphy on The Vincent Browne.
Holy fuck. As a journalist Fionnan Sheahan should be objective. Unless the Irish Independent has turned into FF’s Fox News. He turned up looking for a fight with David McWilliams. With hindsight I can assume he took up this fight because he heard McWilliams explain to everyone watching that Brian Lenihan hasn’t and never has had a clue. We know that. VB said it was terrible that Mortar Bomber was spending the night in the clink. Sheahon went a bit mental and started saying that he tried to knock down a cop? Sheahan dissed Labour – I agree, nobody has asked them a real question; he dissed FG – I agree; Kenny is a no-no but he didn’t mention FF. At all.
I smell a rat so I google him. He’s writing about politics for The Irish Independent. He’s married to an FF’r. What a fucking joke. His articles should come with a warning. It’s getting more like Moscow here. Everywhere you look, FF fools. (still reading Le Carré)

The Indo is most certainly the FF propaganda newspaper.
HM, it’s the Denis O’Reilly paper… which, now that I think of it, makes me wonder if that’s why Sam Smyth has been off his ToadyFM radio show for a couple of weeks?
Twenty, if you’re printing de punz I hope it’s on a Hughlet Packhard.
I love ToadyFM,its Ribbiting!
Fionnan Sheaham is a cunt. Prima donna with ideas way above his station and the worst haircut in the media. He looks like Hugh Grant’s inbred Irish cousin on a bad day. Cunt cunt cunt.
Denis O’Reilly, Conan? Is he the bastard lovechild of Denis O’Brien and Tony O’Reilly?
