I just wrote an entire blog post on spreadsheets. Read it again and realised I’d just written an entire blog post about spreadsheets.
Fuck my life.
I am in sore need of a holiday of some kind. Well, that’s a lie. Not some kind. A specific kind. One where it’s very warm, the sea is also quite warm, there are no end of rum based cocktails, and I can wear flip-flops day and night.
Beyond that I don’t really care.
Still, we’re probably going to get our new government today. LabourGael. FineBour. They’ll make everything better.
Rest assured – it will be lovely and warm where you are going!
I recommend Courtown. Ticks all the boxes.
heh, maggot.
Courtown? Pfff, gonna hit me the Kilmuckridge Riviera.
Bargan holidays to be had in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia at the moment!
costa del bray – use the same money, traditional for dubs, and some of them speak human
flip flops are still for cunts, as are spreadsheets
don’t think new government can make things much worse, but i could be wrong
Egypt is cheap right now.
Will they set up a Special Purpose Vehicle? I love it when they do that.
A week in LazyTown – those Icelanders are such great fun!
Ah Courtown SG, where if I remember rightly all the boxes do indeed have ticks.
The Parc de la Ciudadela was right balmy this weekend, so it was. Just saying.
I’m doing a road trip across Europe this year.
Im going to Seville in 2 weeks..
This from Yahoo news;
“Under the partnership deal, a new super-ministry will be set up within the Cabinet to take sole charge of the country’s economic direction.”
Do they get to run around the Dail with a big “SM” written across their chests and their knickers outside their tights? The mind boggles..
I’m probably going to a cottage in Sligo for a couple of nights Paddy’s weekend. Exotic stuff.
And, with impending daddyhood part 2, that’ll most likely be it for the year.
Sun? For yuppies.
Yeah, I might go shiver in the West as well.
Let’s see now, the news today:
Snow is coming again, it seems, with -5/-6 temperatures. I too would like a sun holiday with rum about now.
has everyone signed this? http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/help-save-irelands-forests/
And how’s this for great news – just what we need, our very own oil spill: http://www.broadsheet.ie/2011/03/07/guess-who-shell-are-using-to-work-on-the-corrib-wells/
Love from Portugal Twenty – The Sagres (AKA Sackrash) is ice cool and the sun is beaming. Bliss.
I’ve to go to a dude, an endodontist, who’s going to charge me between 5 and 10 grand for a tooth implant. Send me a postcard.
No summer holidays for quite a while. It’ll be Donabate for the foreseeable summers.. Jesus fucking christ.

can i come? i have no money. i can put on your flip flops and stuff
I was talking to an african taxi driver the other day
He said
i moved to ireland over nine months ago and i have yet to see the sun
i looked at him and laughed
i said if you want warm weather you better go somewhere else ::))
Itchy, you can mind the car in northern Italian towns for us.
Itchy, my family used to go on summer holidays to Portmarnock.
portmarnock isn’t even a one horse town. it isn’t even a town. what did they do in portmarnock, besides rollersakting?
I’m currently in Tunisia working and the weather is lovely, sunny and warm.
Beer is cold too.
Come on over Twenty – I’ve a spare basement.
10 Grand for a tooth implant ? FFS you could get a Kidney transpant for that in India and they would probably throw in a boob job as well!
I like your style maggot
Seriously though – how do they justify that sort of money for a tooth implant?
You must be crazy itchy. I had two implants done here last week and the total cost was just over Euro 2,000.00.
Fuck that- what are orthodontists doing in ireland- filing down fucking Dolmen stones? Check out dentistry in eastern european countries. Seems to be happening a lot in the UK where people are booking cosmetic dentistry in Warsaw and Prague and other destinations where they aren’t charging whatever they feel like for dentistry. Irish doctors and dentists are ripping the shite out of Irish consumers and have been for decades.
Its amazing how every doctor’s visit seems to result in the necessity for a consultant’s appointment as well isn’t it?
Here’s a link to cosmetic dentistry holidays in Poland. You can always insure against having to have work redone but to be quite honest I’d trust a Polish dentist far faster than I would an Irish one.
http://www.polishmysmile.co.uk/
Dental implant – 550euros. Itchy is that Irish dentist proposing to charge ten times that amount as a minimum for one tooth implant? http://www.polishmysmile.co.uk/cosmetic-dentistry-abroad/dental-implants-abroad.php
There you go – Holiday in Poland and plenty of money left for the boob job.
You’ll be the most popular ladyboy in town!
extraction – 200
ct scan – 300
temp tooth – 200
crown – ranging between 2,000 and 3,000
bone graft and insertion of implant – 2,000
etc, etc, etc
I’m not too happy about it either. it’s one my front teeth. it’s a serious piece of work
but
back to the sun
it’ll all be sunny after. flip flops uber alles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faRlFsYmkeY
is there a http://www.polishmyknob.co.uk ?
Yes. Yes there is.
Itchy is the girl from the Corsodyl advert!
Come to Recife and enjoy the carnaval. You would need to leave in the next few moments to make the necessary connections.
itchy have you priced it north of the border? I have friends who get all their dental work done in Newry, swear it saves them a fortune. I think I read somewhere there’s quite a high ratio of dental practices in Newry for that very reason. Might be worth a look.
mate of mine headed off to Budapest this morning for dental work eight days in the sun and a shit load of dental work and its still cheaper than doing it in ireland. your off your head itchy.
You just can’t beat a bit of sun and sea, absolutely free joys of life. Places like Greece & Spain are still really cheap at the moment.
I’m convinced unemployment& recession and everything that comes with it is just easier to live with when the sun is shining..lovely :)
It’ll be interesting to see whether Itchy’s dentist spots another load of work that has three noughts after it as soon as he’s got the first implant done.
I’ve a tenner that says he or she will tell Itchy that its better to have the one next door done as well, ching ching that’ll be another amount vastly in excess of the cost in any other European country.
Difference is with the holiday plus treatment in Eastern Europe is that you pick when you want to have the treatment. You don’t have to wait around for some jerk in Ireland to decide its your turn to help pay his treatment rooms rent this month.
There has been pure cuntishness displayed by the medical professions in Ireland over the last twenty years and a lot of it has to do with Mary Harney and her sweetener deals for consultants and the system of allowing doctors and consultants to write debit and credit notes for each other’s businesses.
I see the Labour Programme for G’wanment says they are canning the HSE and have come up with the novel idea of making the Minister for Health responsible for the Health Service. Outrageous. Ms Harney’s deflector shield to be dismantled.
Rumours that China might kick off a bit following the protests in the Middle East. That’d be some show.

I’m so in need of a holiday I’d have happily read it. That’s how sad my life is.
Woah, woah, woah. Hang on there people.
First off – This dude is the best.
Second – since when did the contributors to twenty become dentists?
When I walked in I was met by 70 year-old woman coming out the door with, literally, a hundred thousand dollar smile.
He said in no uncertain terms “If you want to go abroad, go abroad. I know you’re here because you’ve been told I am the best in Dublin. I am also very expensive”
He makes me feel comfortable. If I wake up next year with a penis growing out of front incisor I don’t want to have to book a plane to budapest
Back to the sun. Greece. Greece has gotta be the place this summer.
So, you old spreadsheets tease you, where’s that post? Everybody loves a good spread sheet, they’re so much more dependable than the weather and liquor in faraway destinations.

Sounds like he’s a hypnotist as well as an ortodontist. A fucking rich one.
Well itchy, all I have to say is, if you spend that much on one tooth and don’t get laid afterwards, demand a refund.
itchey you have been to thailand you should know thats the place for everything
Bitchy,
“I’ve to go to a dude, an endodontist, who’s going to charge me between 5 and 10 grand for a tooth implant. Send me a postcard.”
Go to one of the less populated cities in Russia e.g. (Vladimir, Smolensk, Ufa). Very good dental people. Plenty of blonde girls with inviting bottoms also. Will not cost the world either. Be mad not to.
Beer is excellent also.
Including boogeying the night away in The Ministry of Sound with a boy I was sure was a girl.
Bottoms will be bottoms.
TUT TUT! NO WONDER YOUR ECONOMY IS SCREWED IN PADDY LAND. TEN THOUSAND EUROS THIS FOR DENTISTRY WORK, TWO THOUSAND THAT IF YOU GO TO PRAGUE ETC ETC.
EVER CONSIDER SPENDING MAYBE TWENTY EURO’S ON A TOOTHBRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE AND THEN ACTUALLY USING THEM? JUDGING BY THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND LAST TIME I WAS OVER, YOU NOT ONLY HAVEN’T BUT NEITHER ARE THEY. BTW – WHEN YOU GET ON A PLANE IT WOULD BE SO NICE IF YOU TOOK A SHOWER BEFOREHAND. IT’S EMBARRASSES ME TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH THE SAME COUNTRY AS YOU ON TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTS – AER LINGUS CABIN CREW ARE MAKING SHITE OF YOU WHEN THEY CHAT, AND HALF OF YOU THINK YOU ARE CHARMING THE KNICKERS OFF THEM, THEY ARE NOT SMILING AT YOU LADS, THEY ARE GRIMACING WITH THE STENCH OF BO COMING OFF YOU.
I hear you on the need for a holiday. Haven’t had a holiday, bar a week in a mobile in Wexford, since 2008.
Going to make up for it this year though! Going on honeymoon to Prague in 34 days.
Then in August, going to Canada for a week for a wedding.
Try paying for a seat and stop trying to smuggle yourself in in a gyppo lorry then Gluey.
GLUEBAG lives in NY perhaps, and the american dream has graced his vile corpus with a position as a dish washer? or a tyre fitter perhaps. With all of his inadequacies and complxes, that would be his niveau.
Gluey. This guy trained in texas. As a glorified septic tank, don’t you start trying to lecture us on the cost of healthcare.
As for BO. That’s just juvenile childish nonsense. You’ve let yourself down there. You used to be funny. What happened?
He was never funny. You just presumed he was. He’s a spa of the highest order.
Or maybe that should be spa of the lowest order.
Hey, Gluey, ya mental defective, which order of spa would you say you belong to, being the most drastic type there is. Highest or lowest?
Whatever answer you give, the opposite will be correct.
I might have what you want Bitchy, an agency, but this girl told me they also do teeth.

So have yourself done and spare a lot of money.
Yo SG.
Here’s my memory of Friday night. Fix it up as you see fit.
Title – Never have your back to the band
Friday night.
In the pub with 2 friends
At the bar.
Very bad Irish music going through my brain from the band behind me.
Discussion at bar whether to shoot the band with an AK-47 or bazooka them to get it all over with.
Go to the loo.
Man beside me asks me what I think of the band.
I tell him that it’s funny he should ask that because we think the band is so bad that we couldn’t agree whether to shoot them or bazooka them.
He didn’t say anything.
I relate this to my two friends “guy in the loo asked me about the band”
“Who?”
“That guy there”
“itchy. he’s in the band”
“You’re kidding?”
“Nope. He’s playing the tin-whistle”
5 minutes later I hear the tin-whistle, turn around and there he is
Skiddly diddly idly –o.
About your dental shenanigans itchy – you could go here and pretend you’re a nun:
http://www.irishexaminer.com/world/kfeyqlmhqloj/rss2/
Great idea- get Hungarian and Polish dentists over and undercut the clipjoints Irish dentists operate. Could do the same for doctors.
…and while yer at it, replace the creepy politicos with hard-working Poles. ’bout time we brought this United Europe thing forward anyway.
Well, I wasn’t in the jacks when the conversation occurred but the bar bit is pretty much spot on.
Funny as fuck but he deserved abuse for his fashion crimes alone… not just double-denim but tucked in too.
Still its not a bad thought. Everywhere there is a huge pricing barrier in Ireland because of a closed shop like the old comfortable and profitable routine between Irish doctors and consultants there’s a business opportunity for someone.
A co-op able to hire facilities and bring in properly qualified (and checked) dentists from Poland or Hungary should be able to make money and undercut the private banking arrangements some professions have been able to build up in Ireland.
Its how Richard Branson made his money.
Now what does this tell us – there are ads on the trams in Zurich advertising dental care in Germany. There are ads on the trams in Germany advertising dental care in Budapest.
Now I’m interested in what was going to be said about spreadsheets.
Gluey you’re such a twit. I bet you’re a toothless wonder who stinks.
“Now what does this tell us – there are ads on the trams in Zurich advertising dental care in Germany. There are ads on the trams in Germany advertising dental care in Budapest.”
Some places are cheaper than other?
Some girls are bigger than others?
And he is always playing five against one as well. Naughty fellow!
“Some places are cheaper than other?
Some girls are bigger than others?”
You need a pint or pints mate.

I’m reminded of Marathon Man for the former and Liam Lawlor for the latter
I get my fangs done in Belarus. A few hundred Euro and a bottle of Jamie is always gratefully received. Had a bridge inserted in 2007. Excellent dental work.
yes itchy i think you should go for top dental care http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SirutCHZ-QI
This is a tough one. I have no idea why dental care is so expensive here, but it’s Wrong. WRONG! Not sure the skill level is any particularly better than anywhere else either.
i can see it now sitting at a bar on a beach in thailand’ beer in hand flip flop hanging of the big toe’ looking the odd cumulus drift by and a little thai on the other arm ‘otd you want one more beer yes please
Sun, flip-flops? Give me pivot tables, Vlookups and Sumifs any day….
Well, some people excel in one area, sum (boom boom) in another…
Good man Ming “I’ll be smoking a joint with the support of the constituency”.
i said it before and i’ll say it again, only cunts wear flip flops
Peadar, you’re very often wrong but never wronger than this
Peader has two left feet.
He wears flip flips.
if it was possible to put a run on ireland inc leo varadkar would have just done it with his portayal of the implication of the outstanding 30 billion+ senior debt
i’m liking what i’m hearing from him on the vincent browne show but i think FG will be making a statement tomorrow saying “Leo was not speaking on behalf of Fine Gael”
Varadkar, he has some neck.
Just some.
ye luv him deep down HM. you know you do. it’s these blinkered lines he follows that amuse and scare me. one of the reasons he won’t get to be a made man. if anything it’ll be a job in health under reilly.
sometimes he reminds me of cartman. sometimes.

How do flip flops work with those webbed feet Twenty?
Poor Charlie Sheen can have a nice holiday now.
