Eco maniac
While cleaning out my kitchen cupboards I counted nine ‘bags for life’.
So, either a: I’m a cat or b: totally missing the point of eco bags.
Trouble is, I nearly always forget to bring along my bag for life. I’m halfway down the road to the supermarket and I’ll remember it. Usually when I see someone walking towards me with their own bag for life.
Then when I get to the supermarket, I feel guilty about filling up plastic bags, and so purchase another eco bag, only to stuff in into the back of the cupboard with its friends.
I also bought one of those on-the-go coffee mugs too. But I keep leaving it at home.
Meh!
Stupid, stupid, stupid….STUPID!
Dublin’s Evening Herald columnist Emma Blaine is full of fucking shit. I’ve already submitted loads of comments on the site pertaining to how shit she is but none are ever published. I have a choice of course, not to read her drivel, what annoys me is that she gets paid to write the words equivalent of cum in your eye in the first instance.
Irish journalism sucks big hairy balls as is but Good Lord, this asshat is the creme de la crap altogether. I’m thinking she’d be really useful as a Spooge Collector, or a scare crow, or maybe she could be buried in a cave somewhere and sealed up.
Lately, she bemoans the rain. OH I KNOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING WEATHER!
Is it wrong to cry because you’ve just got a soaking from the rain, she asks.
Well, that would entirely depend on the circumstances, Emma. If you were homeless, at the end of your tether and fed-up with your miserable existence, a rain shower, yes, could be the final straw.
Because I have just sat down at my desk and done just that. Not sobbed mind you, just a couple of feeling sorry for myself tears of frustration. Walking into town this morning, like everyone else who wasn’t clogging up the roads with traffic, I got soaked from my head to my toes. I am literally dripping wet, like clothes just hung out to dry on a clothes- line.
So……Emma actually cried because the hair she spent three hours GHDing that morning and the overpriced rags she pulled on her hide got a soaking.
Yeah, cried.
What are we supposed to do about this godawful weather? There’s not much to do besides emigrate but we should at least be suitably prepared in the wardrobe department so I’ve decided on some rules of my own. Any other suggestions will be gratefully received-it looks like we might need them over the coming weeks.
During the summer when there were days like this, I decided that best footwear policy was to wear flip flops. It makes sense- the rain just washes off your feet, no danger of wet socks, and it’s just about warm enough to wear them. Not in this weather though, the rain has suddenly turned icy cold and the only shoes to wear are wellies. If the temperature goes up a notch again though, I’ll be getting my Fit Flops out again- not only are they good for the rain, they’re meant to tone up your legs too. But admittedly I’ve yet to see any evidence of improvement in my own legs after a summer of wearing them.
Shit, Emma, what prose, what beautiful insight, what imagination you have there. Please don’t stop, I want to hear more of your delicious treacle words, dripping into my ears like treacly jizz..
Skirts can be quite useful, they save the bottoms of your trousers getting wet, and staying wet all day long.
Oh my God, roll over AA Gill, this girl is INSPIRED!
But wait! Does Emma have a cautionary tale for us bogans at the back?
The most important rule of all is never to wear UGGs in the rain. Besides the fact that they will get ruined, don’t be fooled into thinking they will keep you warm. The rain will soak through, they will end up weighing a ton and when you have to dry them out after they’ll make your room smell like wet dog.
I officially want to boot her in the gee hole. With wet uggs.
How the fuck did Jocelyn Wildenstein get a boyfriend?

We don’t want your tumor-ridden type around here
I will unapologetically say that many residents of Dublin 4 are absolute CUNTS
Wannabe Brits, officious louts with delusions of aristocracy and morons with misguided views they’re captains of industry, this dull and soulless suburb of Dublin has become even more horrendous since these pricks made some fast cash and bred horrible children with bad hair and even worse attitudes towards waiting staff.
But what’s even worse than a D4 resident? A D4 Residents’ Association. This many-headed beast contains elements so vile, so distasteful, if they were in its company, the average person would vomit uncontrollably until their stomach lining came away and they were eventually dissolved by their own bodily acids.
So it’s not too much of a shocker to learn that residents from Donnybrook’s Nutley Lane estate have lodged a series of legal objections to the use of a house to provide services to post-cancer patients.
“After being told of the initial complaints, St Vincent’s Hospital lodged a formal planning “retention permission” application to Dublin City Council to allow the medical facility to continue to provide post-cancer counselling and therapy to patients recovering from the deadly condition,” says the Herald
“Over a dozen residents in the area claimed that the facility was “wholly inappropriate” and “incompatible” with the tone of the estate.”
So the tone of the estate is resolutely one of not helping people who have battled cancer?
The council said, “fuck it” and granted permission to use the house as a post-cancer facility but the cunting residents’ association waded back in with the D4 version of a counter attack- An Bord Pleanala- and intend on appealing the decision.
So here’s what; if these heartless busybody wankers have got a turd in their ear about a cancer facility in their midst- I dunno, will the sight of sick and bald people affect their morning power walk to the fruit smoothie bar?- how about throwing everything but the book at them.
For Donnybrook, I propose:
-Three casinos
-Fourteen probation centres
-An immigration centre
-A language centre for kids who don’t speak English
-Three Chinese brothels
-800 Abra Kebabras
-300 GAA clubs
-Copper Face Jacks II
-A youth club for young offenders.
Malaysian man gets nut stuck around penis
OUCH!
A Malaysian welder had to have a nut removed from around his penis after an attempt to lengthen it before he gets engaged next week went embarrassingly wrong, a news report said.
The nut got stuck on his penis following an erection, the Star newspaper said, forcing him to seek help at a hospital in southern Johor state.
Staff from the Sultanah Aminah hospital had to drain some blood from the penis and cut away a top layer of skin before the object could be removed, the newspaper said.
It said the fire and rescue department were also involved in trying to remove the nut from the unnamed welder, who is in his 20s and hoped the nut would weigh down his penis to make it longer.
“The patient is now recovering and we hope to discharge him today (Sunday),” hospital director Daud Abdul Rahim told the Star.
On August 25, another young man in Kuala Lumpur had tried to increase his sexual prowess by slipping a steel ring around his penis, forcing the fire department to cut off the ring after doctors were unable to remove it, the newspaper said.
