That uncanny ability the elderly possess to say something unwittingly insulting whilst still sounding so lovably inoffensive always endears me. Like how my granny used to think she'd be raising my sisters spirits by telling her she'd put on weight when she saw her... Anyway, on the phone in work today, I had this genteel and cultivated elderly English lady ask me where my accent was from, so I informed her it was from the north-west of Ireland. In that adorable fashion, she chuckled, "Oh dear, that's terrible...", and hung up. All I could do was smile at the charm of her venerable audacity.

Today's headline from Japan:

"19-yr-old who dismembered mother wanted to know more about dissection"

We've had sub-zero since November (daily), -9 today, snowstorm, went out to play Aussie Rules and couldn't see the far end of the pitch. It worked in my favour though, I scored 2 goals by kicking from inside my own half when the opposition didn't see me (or the ball) and the wind was at my back. Still hate this weather though. And it's to be -20 this week after the sun goes down.

Going skiing for the third time in my life tomorrow. Hopefully it'll end up better than the last time, when I tried to turn on ice, power-slid into a fence, and smashed the phone I had foolishly left in my pocket!

something similar happened to me not long after moving to Dublin. A canvasser knocked on my door to know would I vote for whoever she was canvassing for in the upcoming election. Told her I was sorry, I was only just after moving in and had not registered to vote in that area yet. She asked me where I was from and would I vote for their local candidate, so I told her I was from Limerick, she replied "oh, I'm sorry". So I shut the door in her face. In retrospect, what I should have done was demanded an apology from the candidate.

I decided yesterday that the (potential) move to Canada will come at the end of a RTW trip taking in South America way and Oz.

Gastric, get me on a Coldie!

I think it was the seemingly genuine and paradoxically pleasant sense of sympathy in her tone, rather than any intent to insult being apparent, that had me more amused than fuming.

Happened to catch another episode of "デイリーサッカーニューズFOOT!", (Daily soccer news football)", and they have a section called STFC, or Small Town FC. This was installment 14 (never seen any of the previous 13), and featured Tobermore United. Talked about the floods of a few years ago, and subsequent struggles, but the reason for their inclusion became clear when they spent time talking about how it was the only NI club for which George Best had ever played competitively. Their chairman, a guy called Beatty, said 'he had a reputation for not turning up, or playing badly, but....ah....it didn't really matter.'

I had about 6 bottles of the stuff in my fridge for years after a Killybegs friend brought it to a houseparty as a mixer. Ye are a different breed.

[DannyInvincible]

My sister used to live on that stuff. I've never actually tried it myself, strangely.

That's where you went wrong.

How?

Because it's stated purpose was as a mixer?
I utilised in the following days as a cold beverage on its own. Eugh!

[nigel-harps1954]

Oh. Well. In that case, I'm stumped.

[BonnieShels]

It's okay. I'll be at the game on Sunday. I'll try it again to satiate your affrontedness!

Now this goes back to the Brazilian "lady" post, but a lot could be misconstrued from this - or maybe it's just that we finally have Spring after 6 months of winter!

[Spudulika]

Oh, and I came on to check out updates and post that I'm seriously peed off with our so called Minister for Sports and his lackeys in TI. They had a trade mission over here a couple of months back and I organised a meeting with the GM and head coach (who is shadow GM) of a major club who were interested in coming to Ireland for pre-season this summer. The head woman from Carton house was also so I set up a meeting between the TI guy, Carton House lady and the club. What happens? Nothing, the Irish fail to show! 60 staff and players and more than 100 fans going to Ireland for 10 days, and they don't show! And yesterday I spent the day confirming bookings for Slovenia for the club, where they'll bring min. 65 staff and players and the fan clubs have requested 120 places so far. This is not the first time it's happened with Leo and his crew, but jesus, with all the blarney about Gathering etc, you'd think they'd be happy with a large tour group who'd set the trend. In a way I don't mind as we make more from the Slovenia trip, though as an Irishperson I'm seriously embarrassed.

I think I just saw my sister drinking it, rebelled and decided I "didn't like it" despite never having tasted it. In fact, I was much the same with most food and drink throughout my youth. I'd be adamant I didn't like a thing even though I'd never have tasted it in my life, just because of how it looked. I was a very picky and unexperimental eater. Any time the family would eat out in a fancy restaurant, I'd inevitably embarrass them as they tried to pass themselves off as gastronomic connoisseurs, but there was me sat at the end - napkin still on the table-top, good heavens - gobbling up my plain melon to start and plain chicken breast and chips for my main course. For about a decade of my life, that was genuinely all I would ever have ordered if we ate out. I might have had a slice of toast or two as well actually. Buttered!

Then again, my sister, also in her youthful naivety, did once order "spaghetti bolognese without the bolognese".

And that feeble old woman whilst the leader of the United Kingdom caused so much hurt and pain and suffering with her policies and politics that it comes as no surprise that people danced in the streets. She was evil and classless and vile. May she rot.

You could say she reaped what she sowed. Her policy and vision for Britain was one of self interest and a lack of empathy and sympathy for others.

Personally, I'm more sick of all the fawning over her legacy, by people who probably never lived in areas that suffered, and continue to suffer, as a result of her policies. You could actually say the whole of europe is feeling the consequences, as she was the trail blazer for light touch regulation that has directly lead to the banking/ debt crisis (and I've no doubt she was a hero to the likes of McCreevy here).

No celebrating with me - not until I get confirmation the bitch is in the ground.

Yes, but this poor man appears to have fallen from at least six feet in the air!

[Spudulika]

I did a bad thing tonight and now I can't sleep. I wonder if copious amounts of alcohol would help, lots in the apartment, just have to figure what works fastest!

[Charlie Darwin]

I have found that copious amounts of alcohol never help.
