Twenty Major – Still smoking in Dublin bars

They’re at least 8000 times worse than the KLF

Fuckers. And it’s worse than they say.

Mr B, Sir. Mr, B.

Dear Minister Lenihan, it was with great interest that I noted your generous dispersal of free money yesterday. I would very much like some as I require a bail-out of around €500,000 to continue as a going concern. I am of systematic importance to … well … me, and having lost all my money betting [...]
