Well not exactly about super large baby factories, but none the less, Big Brother is back on the screens from last night. Oh joy. More nobodies wandering around a pretty manky house. Some will have sex on camera with each other to boost their popularity, some will have sex with each other off camera and some will have sex with themselves. Great, riveting TV.
From a research perspective, I flicked it on earlier on just to have a nose as its going to be a topic on the show later on. Well, the oul wan of the divine. Give me strength. You have 2 twins who are promising to share a man between them, or something along those lines. You some bloke (I think) with pink hair and thats about all I could stomach. But as with any season of Big Brother, the best thing about it, is the wonderful censorship. If I really wanted to hear birds chirping or frogs farting Ill go out in my own garden and sit down, open a slice pan and have instant Big Brother censorship. Can the stuff the superstar contestants are saying be really that bad? Is there a fear that one of them might say something good about David Gest? Is there a fear that one of them might say something bad about the Queen (One is not amused!!!!)? Is there a fear that one of them will say something intelligent? Im sure by now, you've figured out Im not a fan of Big Brother.

The one on a Sunny evening
Below you can catch some of the fantastic bikes from the Ireland Bike Week. In typical Kerry fashion, as soon as we got out of the car, it started raining. Then after that, it started pissing. It didnt put a dampner on the festivites though. Absolutely savage atmosphere in the Gleneagle / Brehon car parks. Stalls, decent chips n curry and the shit hot sound of hundreds of Harley Davidsons. Well worth the trip to the Kingdom, granted getting to bed at 4am the night before didnt help the situation.
So what else is going on I hear at least 2 of you ask? Well as usual, nothing. After the excursion on Saturday morning, I struggled to stay awake for Pirates of The Caribbean 3. That said, I enjoyed it sort of. Lots going on and far too much for my knackered brain to take in at the time. A running time of 2 hours 45 didnt help either. Obviously a movie to check out when one isnt feeling tired. "Dya hear him la, with his posh words!!!!"
Fresh Pasta was made over the weekend as well. Little did I think it would taste so different. Amazing! Pasta machine, 6 eggs, Strong flour, drop of water, bit of elbow grease and 4 well fed adults. Everyone still alive to boot. After the Pasta making experience, I lifted the fridge and horsed it out the window, set fire to the couch and put stuff into the dishwasher. This rock 'n roll lifestyle is hectic at times.
Fancy getting your name up in lights? Well get it on the blog anyway. As often as I can and as often as I get them Ill post up any emails that come to me either asking questions or whatever.
Right thats it! Dont forget to fire your "questions" to me oul email!

The one with various items
As Ive been saying to anyone who'll listen, Im another year older and miserabler. Either way, many thanks to the QE2 loads of you who sent in cards, texts, calls and emails saying Happy Birthday. Lets not forget the members of the night crew in Red, who marched in with a rather tasty birthday cake at the very top of the show. Its rare Im lost for words. So between the cakes, listeners calling to door, in particular Joanne with her kids (all belting out Happy Birthday) and all the texts etc.etc. It was a great way to cheer me up, as on Thursday night, as per previous post I was feeling pretty rotten. I had planned on leaving just after 11, but I there was too much going on and I was well cheered up by then. I managed to make for a Breast N a Bun and got home and sat on the couch watching the Leaders debate till 4am. At one stage, Chip in hand, I said to myself "Feck sake, your really pushing on now, watching a leaders debate in the middle of the night". But leaders debate aside, I had a really nice oul (bad choice of words) B-day. Given my increasing addiction to all things kitchen and cooking (which has been out of control for the last few years) I was fairly easy to buy for....for a change.
Going back to the leaders debate, well from an observational point of view, Bertie came out the winner with Enda lagging behind a bit. At this stage in the day, the media would really want to give Berties finances a break and concentrate on the real issues at hand. Every candidate that we've had on the show during our election coverage, opposition parties as well, are sick and tired of the whole thing. Everyone feels the real issues are being sidestepped and missed out on. No matter what, people have to get out and vote on Thursday.
Other than that, nothing else going on, bar the exclusive Rambo 4 trailer, which many of you have been calling the greatest film of all time. Listen up for it later tonight!
College pressures, Cork dieting fads, hen nights and stag nights, GAA tickets and a whole lot more from the show where its YOUR opinion that counts, from 9pm tonight!

The one where its typical!
Sunday morning I woke up to find my sinus had melted and my throat was ripped open. Sunday evening It was a bit better and I struggled through the show. Yesterday, not too bad. Today, knackered.com. She who must be obeyed had a bad dose of colds n flu things and now yours truly is dosing up on lemsip capsules. My nose is running like its just after breaking out of prison. The amount of mucus is second only to the stuff the Aliens used spew out.
As for blogging, this is all for today. I hit the ripe old age of 31 on Friday, so presents to the usual address. Cash only. No cheques. Postal orders and bank drafts also accepted. Minimum gift value - €500.

The one about Supermarket Queues
For those of us who haven't got the patience to wait for the delivery truck to arrive with the goods from an online supermarket, we make do with trudging to an actual one. I find it quite therapeutic wandering the aisles, looking to buy stuff to clog up the cupboards. If you're like me then you'll gravitate toward the checkout that has little people waiting to checkout, or just one individual with a hefty load, but half way through the checkout procedure. Either way, I got a dose of the wrong queueitis this morning. 5 checkouts, all open, all with queues of people. But using my checkout sense (tis kinda like spidey-sense, but geared towards checkouts in supermarkets) I found the shortest queue. How wrong was I. A bucket load of what ever Mrs.Bridy was buying wouldnt scan, so the checkout girls were running around, in marathon preparation style, trying to get prices. After a good ten minutes, I was told to go to an abandoned checkout and someone would be there shortly. It felt like a scene out of some futuristic, desolate movie. Man standing on his own with a lump of chicken breast in a basket, waiting for the rescue team to arrive. Some movie, some checkout!
Eventually the rescue team arrived and scanned through me items. I took a glance at the busiest queue and that had cleared in no time at all. So the morale of this is, if you are blessed with checkout sense and it starts tingling, ignore it. It can be very difficult, but if you put your mind to it, you can fight the checkout sense urges. Basically, go to the busiest queue you can find, they always go quicker.
More Roy - A Footballers tale tickets up for grabs a little later as well as the usual stuff, from the show where its YOUR opinion that counts!

The one with some Summer!
Well, Happy Summer! Hang on, maybe Im wrong, lemme look at the winda! Its dull, windy and overcast. Tis Summer alright!
Before I ramble about anything else, or before people just click the magical x in the top right corner, get yer holes onto monopoly.ie
Click vote now and vote Cork. I started this little campaign last night and I still reckon we can get Cork into the Top 5!
Speaking of Voting, the Election is underway and no doubt your only 15 seconds away from an Election Poster or someone that stars on an Election poster will be opening your letter box and asking is there anyone home! This is a clever ploy! Best advice is to say "No" and said vote hunter should scurry away to the next port of call! The city and county is awash with posters and in particular the South Link looks like a race course with truck loads of Vote #1 posters on either side of the road. I was actually expecting a pace car to be leading the traffic onto the link last night, or a fella with a chequered flag at the very least!
I'll leave you with possibily one of the greatest adverts of all time!
and one of the greatest songs of all time (If offended by bad language, dont bother clickin' play)
