  1. Must have been pished a few nights ago and ordered At The Existentialist Cafe by Sarah Bakewell. Got woken early this morning by the postman with it and it's got a big sticker on it saying "As read on BBC Radio 4".  Better be fucking good, it's a hardback, fcuk knows what I paid for it. 

     

    feeling a bit of a Kant now are we? 

  2. In he 1980s when we apparently reached "peak racism" during the Mark Walters banana incident, what we were were witnessing wasn't a blatant act of racism from a vile football club. It was actually a protest against those who once mocked the Irish during the famine by sailing large boat loads of bananas in and out of Dublin harbour to tease the population, highlighting the fact that in the Walters incident, it was in fact the Celtic fans who were once again, the victims.

     

    It is also true that when he was appointed Celtic coach in a mocking gesture to racists John Barnes sailed up the Clyde in a banana boat.

  3. on a similar note bottle of Strathmore Spring are actually filled from a secret pipe connected to Station Park's main tap. The company have fooled Forfar Athletic for years by having the groundsman on their pay role and getting him to tell the Chairman "that thae 3G pitches need a hoor o' a lot of wa'aterin' ken". 

  4. Last week the U20s League Cup Final between EK & Cumbernauld was postponed when the floodlights at Benburb Juniors failed shortly before ko.

     

    I'm seeing from the EOSL website that tonight's Knockout Cup R1 ties BSCG v Spartans and Whitehill v LTHV were both abandoned during extra-time :huh:!!

     

    Going by twitter, BSCG v Spartans (down to 10 men) was stopped at 1-1 during second half of extra-time following a bad injury to Spartans keeper.

     

    Can't find reason for Whitehill v LTHV abandonment but EOSL website indicates was 5-6 at time. Anyone?

     

    I got abuse from various City fans who had a wasted journey to Benburb last week for cursing the game by going on about the Juniors' disdain for THE DEVIL'S ILLUMINATION...   :lol:

  5. The Onanist Monks of St Juan Kerr are well known for their brewing of hand shandies. The monks are also musically gifted and will show visitors how to play the traditional local instruments, the hairy banjo and the pink oboe

    The monastery is situated next to the mountain range known as Pam and her Five Sisters which is a reserve for the endangered Bongo Bush.

  6. Spooky. Saw a kingfisher today for the first time, well Mrs Mantis spotted it first, I'm blind as a bat.

    Also there's a mandarin duck been hanging around a pond in Portobello all winter.

    seeing as the definition of a mandarin is a Chinese Orangeman get thae bigoted ducks out of Porty!

  7. Germans naturally speak in a broad West County accent. They only put on the "German" accent so as not to appear thick to foreigners. This fact almost came out at the time of the Munich crisis in 1938 when a very tired Adolf Hitler let his guard slip and said to Neville Chamberlain "Get orf moi Zudentenlaaaaand.."
