Six little words

Grandad April 24th, 2008

That sod Rick O’Shea has memed me.

He knows I hate memes.

He wants me to describe myself in six words. Hahahaha!

I could go

brilliant
insightful
articulate
funny
hilarious
modest

but I won’t because one or two of those aren’t true [take your pick].

Thinking about it, I could describe just about anyone else, but me. I could have a field day with Dubya, Harney or Bertie.

Aw shit!

QUIET. Yes. Honestly. I’m a quiet sort of a bloke. I’m not the gregarious party-going type. I keep myself to myself.

CONTENTED. In my own world. I hate the world they are trying to impose on us though, with their fucking nanny state, their CCTVs, their intrusion into my affairs and the petty laws to protect us from ourselves.

HAPPY. With a pipe in one hand and a pint in the other, and a good woman at home in the kitchen where she belongs. What more could I ask for?

WEALTHY. The above mentioned good woman, a funny dog, a lovely daughter, two fantastic grandchildren and a roof over my head where I love to live. What more do I need? Money? Nah!

HAIRY. The only places I don’t have hair are my eye-balls and about four inches on the outside of my legs above my ankles.

GRUMPY. Obviously. If I’m old, I have to be grumpy. I have a lot to be grumpy about, with the appalling state of the modern world. It’s mandatory at my age. But that’s why I started to blog.

That’s six. I’m not doing any more. Maybe I’m wrong on them? Maybe there are other more appropriate words?

And now it’s my turn…..

G’wan Darragh

K8 loves these.

McAWilliams gets one, simply because I was chatting to him earlier. [The wrong place at the wrong time!]

and

Jefferson, who memed me last week and I haven’t gotten around to it yet…

-oOo-

I have just read over this again. Jayzus, what a load of bollix!

Six real words -

Narky
Grumpy
Irrascible
Thirsty
Intolerant
Accurate [I can take out an Oriental at 500 yards every time]

There. That’s better.

All the fours

Grandad March 1st, 2008

Despite numerous pleading and threats, I have been memed again.

Brianf – You’ll get yours! I have better things to be doing.

Four jobs I’ve held:
Tomato picker
Cafe manager
Cable television planner
Computer programmer [COBOL]

Four movies I’ve watched over and over again:
Name any four.
With my memory, I can watch a film repeatedly, and not realise until the end that I have seen it before.
Or maybe it’s not my memory – just that films are so forgettable?

Four places I’ve been:
Prison
Gouffre de Padirac
Alpha Centauri
Soho

Four places I’ve lived:
Dublin
Up the mountains
That’s enough for me

Four TV shows I watch:
Whatever Herself is watching

Four radio shows I listen to:
I just put on the radio at random
Classic FM
Lyric FM

Four things I look forward to:
Spring
Long days
A visit from the grandchildren
Finishing The Book

Four favourite foods:
Vindaloo curry
Vindaloo curry
Vindaloo curry
Vindaloo curry

Four places I’d rather be:
1971
1972
1973
1974

Four people I e-mail regularly:

Clients who haven’t paid their bills.

Gmina Biskupice – The Album

Grandad January 15th, 2008

I have seen this meme doing the rounds.

I saw it first on Sabrina Dent’s site, and for the first time my interest was perked.

You have to create a CD Cover for the first release of your band. Obviously you need a band and a title, so this is how you go about it……

Go here. The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
Go here. The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
Go here. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

I didn’t expect to be caught with this one, as I am a scribbler, not an artist.

But I was.

As usual, it was an item of women’s underwear that was my downfall. Olga the Travelling Bra tagged me.

So here is my effort….

For those of you who are wondering, apparently Gmina Biskupice is a place in Poland.

But who cares? I’m sure sales of my CD will go very well.

I will only tag K8 the GR8 with this one, because she is good at art, though anyone else can have a go. For once, it’s fun.

K8 – Let’s see what you can do with Microsoft Paint.

I am going to kill my daughter

Grandad January 13th, 2008

That little erratum in the family tree that calls herself K8 the GR8 has memed me again.

The hoor.

Ze rulez:

Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 key words given here (family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like).
Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better.

Considering that nearly the entire blog is about those five keywords, that’s not easy.

FAMILY – This is a tricky one, because I haven’t done one on the family as a whole [or even in a hole]. So I picked LaughingBoy because he doesn’t get enough mentions.

FRIEND – Another tricky one, as I don’t believe in blogging about my friends. They might be offended.

YOURSELF – What? Just read the f*cking blog! I took a post at random.

YOUR LOVE – A toss up between Herself and Sandy. Herself has her own blog which she doesn’t write any more, and I wrote about Sandy yesterday.

ANYTHING YOU LIKE – Oh b*ll*x! Another one taken at random.

Now I have to pick five suckers to carry the can.

Go on Mr. Sweetnam. You know you want to.

How about the Rule Clan at Eire Rules? I haven’t hammered them before?

Come on English Mum! If you don’t want to, then let Bertie have a go.

I have never tagged an item of women’s underwear before so Olga the Travelling Bra – It’s your chance!!

And finally, Sue Doe-Nim, just to prove I keep an eye on you.
