Head Rambles

Grandad April 20th, 2007

I have really had a bellyful of that Cully & Sully crowd.

Not content with snowing me under with ceramic bowls, so I can’t even use half the rooms any more, they are now plagiarising my work.

I was browsing their site today in the hope of hacking into it and leaving a rude comment or two, and what do I come across?

This

That is going too far. They give an old address for a post last February, and then quote verbatim the last post I did about them, under the heading of ‘other blogs’. So they are filling their website with my hard work. And not so much as a single fish pie in return. Next thing they’ll be packaging my entire Blog in ceramic bowls and selling it off.

I was going to contact my solicitors and bring them to the European Court of Plagiarising Blogs or something. But I do like their pies so I’ll be lenient.

I have learned a little about search engines in the last few months, and I have found that by writing about Cully and Sully, I am climbing up the search results. Already, I’m only just behind them in Google, and soon I’ll overtake them. Then anyone who searches for them, will find me. And I can write what I like about them.

So they had better be damn nice to me from now on.

Grandad April 12th, 2007

Last February, I wrote about a little known company called Cully & Sully.

Cully & Sully produce prepared meals.

Now this isn’t your ordinary stuff that you get stacked on the supermarket shelves that contain more MSG than BSE. This is your home cooked variety, with no additives or preservatives. And it is lovely. And their reputation is spreading as it deserves to.

Herself and myself have become somewhat addicted to these and they are part of our regular order. But there is a problem.

Their Fish Pie, which is our favourite, comes in a nice little ceramic bowl. None of your plastic or foil rubbish. When we ordered our first ones, we thought this was great – free bowls to make a little set. So we built a little set of spare bowls in case we needed spare soup dishes or something. And then we built a little set to put flower pots in.

But then it began to get ridiculous. Now the dog drinks out of them. We have filled a few with coloured pebbles and use them as door stops. We use them as candle holders. And still the damn pile keeps growing. We have run out of storage spage completely.

In fact I am now having to extend the house to cope with all these bowls. Fortunately it isn’t costing much, as I’m using the bowls as bricks. We are nearly up to roof level at this stage.

I wrote to Cully [or Sully?] and complained. I demanded that the least they could do was to supply us with free Fish Pies for life, in compensation. But then it occurred to me – a lifetimes supply of bowls???

Cully has just replied to the last post I did. He’s a little late but business is good, so he is very busy. I’m glad about that, and I’ll forgive his tardiness.

He says [and I quote]

It’s me, am I to late?

Will I be forgiven if I get some free pies to Grandad?

I am in a quandary. What am I to do? I’m on a pension, so a free pie or two would be nice, but it would mean more bowls!

There again, when the extension is finished, I could always build a four bedroom detached house for Sandy?

I like Cully and Sully pies.

I like their name – it’s quirky. But I like their pies better. If you have to buy a ready made pie then they are hard to beat. And I expect them to deliver me a major supply for mentioning that.

There is also a publican down the country [somewhere] who likes them too.

And he is apparently outside the Cully and Sully delivery area.

Our publican friend was desparate for his pies and he had to find a solution. And he did.

Cully and Sully now deliver the pies to the publican’s local Garda station. They bung them in the back of a squad car and deliver them to the pub.

I’m delighted for the publican as he and his customers are getting their pies. I’m delighted for Cully and Sully as they continue to grow in the Irish ready made food market.

But most of all, I’m glad our crime wave is over. The last criminal has been put behind bars. No one else is breaking the law. There is not a single motorist driving recklessly.

I feel sorry for the Gardai as they now have nothing to do.

Except for the Gardai in one station who have found an excellent use for the states resources.

Do you think I’m making this up?
