dundrum is like totally flooded

2011-10-25 13:30 I went to get on the Luas today. An employee of Veolia was sitting down having a coffee and smoking a fag at the station. He told me “the Luas is not running today”. I asked “is it because of the flooding?” and he answered “yes that is why I am here”. I [...]

taking a piss on the luas

I had a strange night in the suburbs at stepaside. I made the mistake of believing my old colleagues who said it was near the luas. I got directions over the phone from somebody from a romania who punctuated every sentence with the word “right”. I naturally got lost a few times. The place was [...]

the irish banks are rallying … not

RTE radio are peddling some serious bullshit at the moment. They are saying shares in Irish banks are rallying. I have heard it every morning this week. This is what this rally actually looks like: It went from 22 last Friday to 32 on Monday which is a decent jump but its sliding back down [...]

traffic shame

I was stopped at traffic lights in Christchurch yesterday. The window open an inch and the passenger in the car beside heard me listening to “Toto – hold the line” (it was on shuffle but I admit I did’nt turn it off). He craned his neck to get a good look at me. It was [...]

merry new year

I went to a party on new years eve and had to walk most of the way home. I tried to get on the aircoach but the driver wouldnt open the door. Walking past the Westin hotel some American guy in his 40s was shouting at the porter “i need availability”. It was 5 in [...]

bizarre xmas messages

A toy mouse has been recalled after parents complained that the rodent sounded as though it was singing “paedophile, paedophile” to the tune of Jingle Bells, the Sun reports. The £2.99 Chinese-made novelty is sold in smaller shops and on market stalls. The product’s distributor, Humatt, of Ferndown, Dorset, said the man providing the voice [...]
