What’s your favourite flavour?
I love Asia Market on Drury St, not sure I’d try these noodles though. Off to Ron’s shortly. Gotta get there before Dave. I want to hear him wail. And for the day that’s in it, the best song ever … Continue reading
You may enter
“So that’s two knocks, followed by three knocks, make a cry like a plaintive camel, four knocks, two scratches and the first two lines of ‘Half a person’?” “Yeah”. “And the password is ‘Crumbleplop’?” “That’s it. Get any of it … Continue reading
Is Brian Lenihan really that stupid?
In an interview Brian Lenihan says because Brian Cowen was so terrible at being Taoiseach he himself had to take charge and provide leadership. I felt that when he was elected Taoiseach he would give a stronger lead and express … Continue reading
Monday thoughts
Wearing odd socks makes me feel strangely alive. I try and do it at least once a week. Nobody ever finds out. Charlie Sheen might be entertaining people with his hugely contrived public meltdown. I, however, find him to be … Continue reading
Quake spam and Joan
Damn, they work fast. I have just received an email from a Japanese banker asking for help to get money out of the country due to the earthquake. I stand to gain $18,300,000 if I provide the assistance he needs. … Continue reading

It’s the vinyl countdown
Hundreds of 12″s from my DJing days adorn the shelves in my ‘office’. Last time I played one of these 12″s? Best guess, 4 years ago. I love my vinyl, I just love having it, but it takes up space … Continue reading

Yesterday lunchtime - “I can assure you the money has left our account and should be with you today. Please check your account”.
This morning – “Do you think you could resend the invoice to [Totally different company name]? I’m not sure what’s happened, to be honest”.
Despite being the person waiting for the money and being unaware of exactly what might have occurred at the other end, I think I have a pretty fucking good idea what’s happened.
If you had sent the money I would have received it. The fact I didn’t receive it means you didn’t send it and the money that supposedly left your account never did.
