Hell in a hand cart, imo. Must be some ghastly provincial sorts behind it trying to disturb the peace.

It's getting to the point where you almost look forward to the Allans arriving.

Good Lord! The whole point of living in town is so you can hide.

For fúck's sake, c. Some poor innocent bloody Londoner, trying to get to work safely ensconced inside their own head, and you want to chat?

Be fair, the tradition of mad, drunken Celts cornering commuters on the London Underground and babbling at them incoherently is a long and distinguished one. I see c as simply continuing in that proud lineage.

Tried to ban these recently in Dublin, relented and banned them only in certain places but did ban the use of all backing tracks.

Now no ****er pays attention to them, especially the talentless bint who plays outside my window every day from 11-1. No matter how many times we complain to DCC they just ignore it.

That's a shame I sound fantastic with a backing track.

Worst place possible, opposite the old tourist office on St Andrews Street so right beside the Molly Malone statue.

All day throughout the summer we have crowds of tourists singing said song and then there is the buskers looking to cash in on said tourists.

Mind you, passed your place on Tuesday and there was an increased number of An Garda Siochana milling around, first day of Dail I think?

As you know, vpv, I am not a violent or intemperate man, but if someone told me I could hit anyone in the face once with a shovel with no legal implications, I would be into my garden shed and outside Holland's house as soon as the London transport network could carry me.

Smug, twitchy, nasal, paed0-liooking fücker that he is. Cannot stand him.

Halfway through his new year's eve show once, v read out a tweet from her timeline that had me almost hysterical.

And I've found it!

The only time I've watched it is when I've been with my daughter at New Year as she used to like to watch it getting tipsy on fizz and shouting 'HOOTENANNY!' at the top of her voice. She's too old for that now. :-(

There was some protest on Tuesday - probably chosen for it being the first day back for the Dail. I was told what it was about but have forgotten.

Amazed at the extreme stance still being taken on the Water charges. There are about 50 more important things facing the Country at the moment but the water charges is the one that seems to have struck the loudest chord.
