Back

June 26th, 2010

I honestly don’t know why I bothered coming back.

A load of bills that went straight in the bin.

An overgrown garden.

Some very valuable ‘special’ plants that my useless daughter forgot to water.  She’ll have to get her stash somewhere else this winter.

600 unread items in my feed reader [thank God for the ‘Mark all items as read’ button].

A load of snarkey comments on my last post.

Grey skies.

Lizzie coming to visit next year.  HAH!

Lowry lying through his teeth.

Dropping the drink driving limit yet again.

Fuck that.

I should have stayed away.

    I really did miss your missives, and did not realize it until you popped up again!!!  What fragile and fickled  animals we are!  Got to go, the oil from the beach is building up and I do not want to miss the latest crock of sh_ _ that will be coming out of the mouths of the politicians and talking heads!  I need a pipe, oops I mean a bowl and then Ill be ok.  Take care GD, you are the crackling voice of “reason”.

    If you are lighting up by the Gulf, don’t forget to be careless with your matches.  That would make one hell of an interesting bang?

    you are the crackling voice of “reason”

    Wha?  Fuck me.  That had to go on my Testimonials page!  ;)

    TT – Admit it.  You can’t live without me.

    Ah, you’re back. Damn innerweb was getting rather boring without you. Run over anyone while toodling about the countryside? And if so, anyone we might know?

  6. Grandad IRELANDon 26 Jun 2010 at 5:50 pm

    Kirk M – Yup, back again.  As for my motoring skills – no one you’d know.  Just a couple of lycra clad cylists.

    Hope one of the cyclists wasn’t Twenty Major, he’ s been out in his Lycra again

    Neelly – They called me a fucking bastard.  Can’t have been Twenty. Heh!

    Popeye – You have my complete sympathy.  I hate that bit where they get out the fire hose.

    Ghana kicked the USA on the shins in South Africa just after you returned, so the world is coming to rights again. You can sow bird seed in all the empty flower pots to replace the plants that died. Tweet tweet.

    Perhaps the special plants seeded in the overgrown garden. Y9ou may not have to disown her completely.

    I highly recommend the staying-away thing.

    Visit sometime, and I’ll stop by the “Butts’n'Ashes” to stock up on tobacco and drink for the occasion (they have a drive-up window, very convenient).

    Welcome home, anyhow!

  13. Geri Atric NETHERLANDSon 27 Jun 2010 at 11:48 am

    Welcome back!

  14. Geri Atric NETHERLANDSon 27 Jun 2010 at 11:54 am

    Just sent a ‘welcome back’ message but it’s disappeared. Your webpage is always mucking up. Takes an age to load too… That weed gets everywhere.

  15. Grandad IRELANDon 27 Jun 2010 at 12:46 pm

    Gerry – Yes.  I have heard urban rumours about the seeds you get in bird seed.  I still prefer to import mine specially.  I’m fussy about quality.

    Blackwatertown – I have been trying to disown her for thirty years.  Any excuse will do.

    Susan – An invitation like that is damned hard to refuse.  I’ll be arriving first fligtht tomorrow.  OK?

    Geri – Please stop blaming my site for your crappy Interweb connection.  The site is working fine for me.  It only took five minutes to load this page.

    My ma wouldn’t go anywhere without her fucking pressure cooker. No joke. Many a week in Lahinch began with us all squashed into a manky Ford Escort with the pressure cooker on one of our laps.

  17. Grandad IRELANDon 28 Jun 2010 at 12:47 pm

    Deviatrix – Welcome to the home of sanity!  A pressure cooker?  I like it.  It could have been worse though.  The gas oven?
