Romanian Toilet

June 13, 2007

I was reading Scary Duck the other day, and he was talking about his fondness for public toilets, which reminded me of a moment from my past that, until that point, I had done my best to forget. So I thought a good way to finally forget about it would be to share it with [...]

Nudity

June 12, 2007

As I stood there, completely naked from the waist down apart from a pair of socks, I pondered how difficult it is to look attractive in this situation. A man wearing nothing but a polo shirt and a pair of socks is not a great look. I did not have a mirror to check myself, [...]

Superstars

June 11, 2007

I am Back! In one piece, sort of. After the weekends exertions I managed to fall asleep on Bournemouth beach yesterday afternoon, and after forgetting to apply suncream I now look like Rodney Trotter in the sunbed episode. The weekend was, as always, great fun. Unfortunately, the addition of games of luck (such as poker, [...]

Away again

June 8, 2007

I am away for yet another weekend. Honestly, this makes me sound like such a jet-setter, but I am only going to Bournemouth, so you need not be too jealous. It is the Annual Superstars Challenge, and I will be competing despite my recent injury crisis – just like David Beckham before the World Cup [...]

Death becomes us

June 7, 2007

Last weekend, as we drove northwards back to Dublin airport from Wexford along the N11 – a road clearly built in 1467 – we scanned the local radio stations looking for some music to listen to. “And now, the weeks bereavements…” said a sober sounding DJ. He then proceeded to list all the people who [...]

Training

June 6, 2007

Superstars is almost upon us again. Unfortunately, due my shoulder dislocation in March, this years training regime has been somewhat restricted, which has meant a period of excessive exercise in the last few weeks trying to make up for lost time. This is, I am led to believe, how all the top professionals do it. [...]

Big Blogger

June 5, 2007

Big Brother is rubbish for many reasons. It has a house full of inebriated sex-hungry social inadequates, games designed to let the house mates make fools of themselves, and literally millions of cerebrally-challenged morons glued to screens watching them do it. Of course, these are all excellent reasons why Big Blogger is also a great [...]

The Airport that cried wolf

June 4, 2007

In today’s world of terrorism and safety conscientious-ness, a simple flight is no longer a straight forward process. There are queues, check-ins, security questions, bag drops, more questions, undressing, x-raying, redressing, more queuing, more questions, more ID checks, and finally boarding. During this process, we rely heavily on the screens that are strategically placed throughout [...]

The Weekend – Part Three

June 1, 2007

“Arrrr, look at his cute bum, I just want to bite it every time I see it!” You could forgive a statement such as this from a new parent talking about their cute young baby, just. But this came from the girlfriend of my mate Jean-Luc The Pilot. Jean-Luc The Pilot, is a pilot. In [...]
