The quiet life
Grandad May 20th, 2009
I wasn’t going to write anything today, because nothing happened.
I connected up to the Interweb to see what was going on. Nothing.
I browsed the newspapers. Nothing apart from the government fucking up things again, but there is nothing new about that.
I went into my blog feed reader to see what the rest of you were saying. There was a remarkable lack of activity, so obviously you lot are experiencing nothing as well.
I had just come to the conclusion that God had forgotten to put sixpence in the meter, and that nothing at all was going to happen today when the door bell sounded.
I armed myself to the teeth in case it was some political yokels, but it was the bloke from Eircom. I slipped him a fifty note so that he wouldn’t complain about all the extra wiring, and then shut him out on the roof where it was raining heavily.
He fixed the fault in record time. It was a broken wire or something highly technical like that. He asked to be let in off the roof, as it was really pissing down at this stage, and he had forgotten his coat. I let him in again, but it cost him a fifty note and a promise to say nothing about the job.
He’s gone now, and the phone is working again.
Herself is catching up on all the gossip.
I’m waiting for something to happen.
Is there anything happening anywhere?

No. Not a thing.
Grandad,
Sometimes when nothing is happening that says volumes about what has happened! Too deep??
Good job to the Dublin detachment!
Sneezy – I thought not. *sigh*
John O – Why? What has happened? Have I missed something? Again?
The CIA – If you call that a good job I’d hate to see a bad one!
Um…well…(scratches head)…urr-zzzzzzzzz….
Yeah…..nothing happening here either.
We have now officially gone 100% wireless. The guy from Eircom really was!
Have a nice day!
(ps. we have to say that. It’s in our contract)
There’s loads happening.
It’ll cost you a 50 spot to know about it though.
There’s loads going on, but it’ll cost you a 50 spot to know about it.

Not much on this end either. But I do have to say, I am relieved that your wife can now have access to the outside world again and have someone to complain to about you… It’s an important thing in a relationship you know….?
Check out Twenty today. He’s got a good one going there.
So apparently things are beginning to happen?
For a start Maxi and the CIA are suffering from a bad dose of Blog Echo [a pint of castor oil will sort that, lads].
Also Twenty has found something to write about?
And Kirk M is back!
And it appears that Maxi is in fact an Eircom trainee?
Finally, the mystery of the terrible interference on the radio has been solved – the fucking CIA again!
Kirk M. is back!!! That’s what happened! Great news. Nada from my house,same old same old.
Sandra – Indeed, who needs anything else?
…zzzzzsxxght-snort!…uh…what? Somebody say something? Hello?
