Book launch. Relax, not mine.
Bloggers and books, a winning combination, just ask anyone in the Sunday Times. They can’t get enough of that bloggy book goodness. Ireland’s only Welsh blogger who takes half her name from a Fleetwood Mac song, Annie Rhiannon, has done the book thing. It launches on Thursday evening at 6pm in The Joinery in Stoneybatter, [...]
Sunday Times Twats
Yesterday’s Sunday Times had a dull as dishwater article about Irish blogs and as usual they had a little pop at me. I’m sure it’s an editorial edict – ‘whenever blogging is mentioned please ensure you mention Twenty Major and what a crude, witless oaf he is’. It’s getting a bit tired now, Frank, don’t [...]
€57m to keep Chad happy
Firstly let me just say that anyone who actually has the name ‘Chad’ is no friend of mine. It’s a rubbish name for a person, right up there with Colin. Secondly, in this morning’s Irish Times it is revealed that the cost of Irish troops serving on a peace-keeping mission in the country of Chad [...]
books
The Order of the Phoenix Park was my first book, released in March of 2008. Here’s the bumpf off the back of it. For three years Twenty Major has written a daily blog. Now though comes a tale so bizarre and abominable that mere words on a computer screen wouldnt have been able to do [...]
The name game
“Twenty”, said Dirty Dave, “if your name wasn’t Twenty and you had to choose from ‘Arthurbumfaceshitpants’, ‘Stretchedanusmanwithweepingsoresonhisanus’, or ‘Colin’, which name would you choose?” “Good question, Dave. And one I’d have to give some serious consideration to. You have to factor in when this name change would be made. I mean, if it were now [...]
The Sunday twenty
When John Daly phoned the Joe Duffy show to argue with me, Ireland’s greatest living crime reporter, little did he realise the fate that awaited him. Not only did that phone call bring about a crack down on mobile phones and other luxuries in Irish prisons, he found himself with many more enemies as he [...]
The tomb of Jesus
Can you believe James Cameron saying he’s found the tomb of Jesus? Firstly, you’d have to think the leader of the Tory party would have more important things to do, and secondly, if it really was the tomb of Jesus then it would surely have been much cooler than an old stone box. This was [...]
School days
“They’re the best days of your life”, people will say. Of course they’re talking absolute shite because the best days of your life are when you have money to do stuff and buy things and take things that make you see things and you don’t have to get up for work the next day. Some [...]
Dear Bertie
Dear Bertie, I was watching the news yesterday with great interest after the ruling which saw a man freed from jail after pleading guilty to and being convicted of plying 12 year old with booze and then raping her when she woke up to be sick. Like most people in the country I’m pretty much [...]
Lucky’s film reviews
My Italian compassionate assassin chum Lucky Luciano isn’t so lucky twice a week when his wife makes him go to the cinema. He really hates going to the cinema “Is a full of scum”, he says. Still, Mrs Lucky, much as he loves her, is a woman not to be trifled with so off he [...]
