The one where the madness has begun!

Well, theres only 5 minutes left till Christmas eve! Not really, but that's the way people are carrying on. The finance minister needs to take note! If only Leno could find away to get some of the money that people are spending like crazy. Oh I forgot, he does!! Oh well! Recession continues.

Now, for those of you reading this, who are adopting the "Ill get me presents next week" attitude, feck off. Shut down the laptop and go out and start shopping. Failing that, there are people called Mastercard and Visa who will magically buy your Christmas presents on the Internet thing. Then some bloke will arrive at your house in February with your presents. Just in time for...am...Valentines.  Remember its the thought that counts, not that your children will give a shit. Not in the least. By the time the presents arrive, the builders will be starting work on your house after the kids tear the thing apart on Christmas morning. So, get out or get online and start sorting shit out. And then you can spend Christmas eve, sipping port and laughing at the clowns who didn't heed this advice.


Cast your mind back to the Cloverfield movie. Remember the panic on the streets when the Cloverfield monster was trampling over buildings. Remember the mass of bodies all running for their lives. Well in a few days, farmers day kicks off the whole Xmas shopping madness and the it goes nuclear. Its bad at the moment, but in a few days, you'll be praying for the Cloverfield monster to trample over Cork. And lets face it, the fucker tore down New York in an hour and a half. Cork should take no longer than 15 minutes, including tea breaks and the occasional battle with the FCA.

The one with something for the weekend!



Came home last night and woke the house, with Lips on Xbox 360. Karaoke action for the videogame generation. Inevitablty, this will be compared to Singstar on the PS3. More of the same basically, although to me it seems a little slicker. And the wireless mics work a dream. All I need is to able to sing, which I cant. Check it out, its something that will work very well on Xmas night, after you start falling down from too much food and booze!

Gonna be in Club Light in Mallow tonight, from 11.30pm, so pop in and say hi and then go off and shake yer bits!

Anyway, enjoy your weekend and dont forget Sunday @ 10pm, CTB with me. Get it Off Your Chest, Gerald Kean on the Late Night Interview and all things movies, with "The Movie Bit"

Wall-E on Blu-Ray is nothing short of stunning.

The one with Terminator Salvation : The Poster

This is well cool!

The one with €2 Snacks

We all say we read the bill, but do we really??????? Im as guilty as the next person for not reading the thing completely. Yesterday the nephew whos coming up on 3 months called over. Mammy and Aunty went for a walk with himself and left me guarding the house. 20 minutes later my mobile goes and they're gone off for coffee and are wondering would I like to join them. "Sure thing" says I. "Bring the changing bag" says them. So 5 minutes later we make the decision to get dinner as well as the coffees. Im under a bit of pressure, so opt to leave and take care of the bill in the process.

So I hand over the plastic, which for the 3rd time this year, is actually in credit. Im staring at the bill as the fella behind the bar works his magic on the machine that counts the money. Including the food, the whole bill is €50.20. Then I spot 3 blue snacks, €6. After a long pause, I figure out that Im paying €2 for a fuckin tiny chocolate bar. I point this out to the "individual" and he stares at the bill, gets the other copy of the bill and finally says "Oh they're priced wrong on the till, Ill sort that out". Then he hands me back €2. I put the €2 into my pocket along with a €5 tip. I hate this cowboy attitude, where people chance their arm as long as they can get away with it. Or maybe Im wrong and there was a genuine mistake on the till. Maybe the snacks should have been 20cent and opposed to €2. Yeah, that was it. Someone missed a decimal point! Bastards!

The one with Snoop making Mash

I love them Kitchen Aid yokes and someday I'll give in and actually part with the moolah for one. It'll make my "once every few weeks baking tasks easier ". Or maybe I can just make mashed spuds. Either way, its good enough for Snoop!
