Strauss Kahn Conspiracy

The French like to get involved. At a national level they claimed there were no WMD’s in Iraq. They were called cheese eating surrender monkeys because of it and tragically French fries became freedom fries. I think it was initially on some French websites that people became suspicious about the wreckage on the lawn of [...]

booze fuelled mayhem

toast is in bad condition owing to the boozing that comes at this time of year. I was at the depeche mode concert on thursday in the old point depot. There was a huge crowd and it looked like a lot of couples but the guys were a lot more interested than the girls. I [...]

Conspicuous Consumption

high stakes skanger

I met feensham and J-to-the-K last night in one of the cities less glamorous casinos which could in fairness mean any of them. It was full of magazines and framed pictures offering the allure of the Bellagio but in reality it was a skanky kip with tatty tables full of deadbeats. J-to-the-K announced soon after [...]

STOP WHINING!

Complaining in Ireland usually leaves me more frustrated than the action that led to the complaint. Last time I told people in a Cork hotel that almost everything was a mess she looked at me like I was the first person to say anything. Irish people have no concept of customer service and take it [...]

taking the horse to france
