Do not insert coin
That’s all folks. Real life means I’ve got no time to do the blog the way I want to do it anymore and I think it’s better to announce it than let it fade away. Thank you to all the … Continue reading
Sweet delicious justice!
My thanks to Slab and Conor who both sent me a pic of the speeding van which has found itself in a spot of bother on Pembroke Road this morning. Sweet as sweet can be. You may have my €80 … Continue reading
Paul Mayss, you little cunt
Paul Mayss is the little boy who scared the shit out of me in my dream last night. I was possessed by something, and attached to it by some kind of line, and after much kicking (which made no impact), … Continue reading
Some neck
I was in Fish Bar the other day. Getting fish. And some chips. And tasty it was too. However, that’s not the point. The point is this young lad called Karl came in. I know his name was Karl because … Continue reading
The TV licence
The TV licence fee annoys me. It didn’t used to as much as it does now but I have many great objections to it. Firstly, the TV licence money goes to a commercial organisation, not one like the BBC who … Continue reading
The swizzers

Punch a heater, spray panel balance weight
What is it with Friday? Where do the people who spend the rest of the week on the internet go? Is it because they’ve spent the whole week on the internet and are now madly dashing to do the work … Continue reading

Independent TD Michael Lowry has totally rejected the tenure of Moriarty report released today, saying the report is “factually wrong and deliberately misleading.
That’s nice for him, isn’t it? He accuses Justice Moriarty of being ‘biased’ and suggests the whole report was out to get him, regardless of any evidence.
As Lowry is a politician with an unblemished record, who doesn’t at all represent the very worst of gombeen, parish pump, slieveen Irish politics I suppose we should give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, who could doubt the bona fides of a man who wants to give so much to his community in the form of a gigantic super casino?
Oh.
The whole thing stinks, from both sides, we’ve spent 14 years investigating something that is just dismissed by those who don’t like the findings. And what good has any of it done?
We should hold a tribunal into tribunals to find out if tribunals are worth bothering with. Then when that doesn’t work we’ll have a tribunal into the tribunal about tribunals.
Meantime Lowry takes his place in Dail Eireann, the North Tipp pump is getting a good polish.
