The Powers of Observation

I have just read this in today's Irish Times. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the sheer stupidity and incompetence it shows. You would think someone would have copped onto it a lot sooner.

Hmmmm..

How come my post appeared below Paul's even though I posted it after his? Must have been a negative reality inversion. A prize for anyone who knows the reference without being a cheating fucker and googling it.

try - athlon

check it out lads. I signed up for this sprint triathlon thing this year.
http://www.fingalsprint.3dtri.com/

750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run. Looking forward to it now but I cant swim for shit. Lessons start wed night.

And another thing. Why cant you get a comfy saddle on a bike these days? I've only been out on mine about 3 times and any distance longer than 15k means I have to stand up on the bike to let the blood flow back towards my nuggets!

A Few Truths.

Over the course of a few days, I made a few observations along the lines of 'everyone remembers a day when a dog wandered into your school' and I've decided to share.

1) The War Against the Skulls is an international affair and applies to public transport workers the world over. They are among the world's fucking rudest and most unhelpful people and should all be sacked oweh their jobs. Robot buses and trains are the future - long live Skynet!


Oooooh I 'ate you everybody!


2) The condensation that forms on crowded train windows is made of breath and filth and under no circumstances should you get it on white shirts.

3) People who deliberately drive their cars through puddles to splash innocent pedestrians, are UTTER cunts and should be shot with balls of their own shite. I particularly hate looking like a wanker while trying to scramble out of the way in time.

4) People with short legs should never sit down on public transport - anywhere, for that matter - as you look really fucking stupid if your legs don't touch the ground. Especially if you insist on swinging them back and forth.


Load of bollox, short legs are.


5) Coffee always tastes better outside and tabs rock - I'm holding out for a cure. That's two points in one but as tabs and coffee go together, I'm making it one.

6) Marc was probably right - mark those words mate - and Radiohead may be one of the greatest bands of the modern era. Fake Plastic Trees is a classic.

7) These annoying lists are usually written by smart-arsed, smug, uppity little fuckers of cub reporters in weekend supplement magazines out to make a name for themselves with their oh-so-fucking-cleverness. So I'll stop.

A Happy Birthday to Colum!

Congratulations mate! The first of us to reach forty!



Feel old? I know I fucking do! One step closer, the grave.............
