The one with Prince hunting jockeys

Absolutely brilliant!! So this is what the artist formerly known as Prince does in his spare time!

The one where Ill tarmac your drive

I had planned on ranting about the joys of spending vast amounts of time in the jacks with an iPod touch. But as there is only a day and a bit left to go for the closing of the blog awards nominations this is like one of those knock, knocks on your front door during election season.

So, in my best local politician voice....you can imagine your own response after each sentence.

How are ya? Sorry now for bothering ya 
Victor Barry here from the Blog party. Great weather today isn't it?
Tis, tis, jaysus you never know we might get snow before March.
Anyway, listen to me, the reason I'm calling is the blog award nominations shut off tomorrow, January 14th
Yeah, yeah. Well a blog is a thing where fellas like me write about things. Tis kinda like the newspaper or a magazine, but its not really.
No, no I'm not selling logs. Tis blogs missus.....yeah...yeah...
Look, anyway if you think I'm deserving of a vote in any of the categories then click here
That's great. And listen, Ill have a word with the lads in the council about laying down some tarmacadam on your drive there, if ya give us a vote. And sure, when you give us the oul vote in any category, dont forget to vote for the other members of the blog party. 
Oh jaysus, I'm not sure now when they'll be up with the tar. But vote for us first anyway, and we'll look after ya. And look, if you also give us the vote, I'll ensure that 4 new hospitals are constructed every 6 months, chips n curry will become the national dish and badgers will get freedom of the city.
All the best now!

The one with "Whos the other one?"



I filled a bucket with ice last night and subsequently filled that with various items from the fridge. Originally I filled a large mixing bowl with ice, but that didn't work out too well. I then collapsed on the couch and hit up the Golden Globes in HD.

Great to see the Irish crew do so well and I'm sure a certain amount of people didn't realise Colin Farrell had such big words in his vocabulary. Fair play either way! Other notable items at the Globes were Robert Downey Jr's hair and then the quote of the year from Kate Winslet accepting her best actress globe, "Who's the other one?????". To which a quick thinking director and cameraman had Angelina Jolie's puss in full frame and as much as that beautiful smile beamed to millions of people around the world, you could help but see the "Fuckin bitch, I'll scratch your eyes out and eat your lungs" look on Jolie's face. Jenny Aniston must have been jumping around her living room or where ever she was.

And Sacha Baron Cohen didn't do himself any favours by knocking Madonna for six and referring to "poor" oul Guy Ritchie as her man servant. The booing continued for what seemed like 3 days and Id imagine if I were there, I would have smelt the fake tan bubbling and boiling.

So a good night for the Irish and even better for the Brits, with Slumdog millionaire more or less cleaning house. Heres the winners list, compliments of imdb.com
