Amy reminds us that those emails that have been circulating since, well, since emails started circulating, are still the best ones.

This always reminds me of my Brother (R). Not sure why, I think it's because its like something he would do in Rexam.

I have just realised why I am always trying to grow a beard (unsuccessfully), because I am trying to hide my skinny neck and adams apple. There you go, I said it. What!

Damn you successful beard growers, I wouldn't mind so much but most of you shave. What a waste of beard.

Blackie took this photo while I was on my mini road trip a few weeks ago. It came out really good because of his really cool new camera. The quality of the fullsize image is amazing. You don't realise how crap some cameras are until you see a photo with a good one.

He says that the poster in the background was done on purpose, but I'm not convinced are I was moving at the time and the timing would have to be pretty good.

I think the poster is relevant anyway because I do like to do that. Who knows, I may have been only wearing underoos when the photo was taken.

Btw, I meant to write about that road trip but It was not the best to write about so I didn't. I did drive over 500 miles in 3 days tho, mostly on my own. It was worth it to see my girl.

Since I was rudely abused by Lucy from Feigning Interest, about not referencing her work (if you could call it that), I will now quote a delightful paragraph from the Lucy Aughney Newsletter Archive.

This morning the refill pads I purchased turned out to have blue margins instead of the customary red ones! Good grief, what will they think of next?! Also I bought a black pen, put it in my pocket, and now there are two. Do they breed? What is up with the universe?! And in addition, I just did the pullability test the lovely Ms Hynes just sent me and I am only 15% pullable as a girl, but 51% pullable as a boy! A scary thought...

What is the Circle? Take the red pill and find out. There is no spoon. You can't handle the spoon. The Circle is the world pulled over your eyes to keep you from the truth.

Ok, The Circle is an old site that was slightly popular and then faded fast with the tide in Tramore Bay. Why? I don't know. But I will tell this my son. It will return. Oh, it will return with great vengence and furious anger, and you will know that I am the lord...

Here are some passages from what was and ever shall be The Circle.

The U.S inspectors do not seem to be finding anything in Iraq that is solid evidence of weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell's penis on that such matter contained quantity more than quality (which is never good, is it ladies?) of "evidence". He seems to push war rather than drugs. These are not the actions of a "level-headed" superior. This is not the type of person that should decide the fate of our world.

And Another...

Trying to atone for my bad manners, I attempted to lighten the mood. 'Well, obviously I love talking about myself!' I said with a wry smile.

Did anyone ever tell you that irony doesn't work on foreigners? Doesn't work on UCD English students either. Maybe its because they are so self consciously ironic already. The entire room continued to stare stonily at me while Wanda nodded encouragingly.

Hello and how are you Fluffy Duffy? Super. Firstly, your story reminds me of a Ginger Man I once new. He smelt like onions and had hair red, red like the fires of hell, also arms big as tree-trunks and eyes cold, hard like steel. He was a small man, worked in SPAR i think, oddly proportioned but great for stacking shelves. The root of all gingerness spawned from a small village in connemara after a young verile woman fell in love with, married and made love to a carrot. They lived many years after giving birth to CarrotBoy O'Mallet. But he liked to be known as John to his friends.

He was a demon in the scratcher and it wasn't long before red hair was ubiquitous about this fair emerald isle we call Ireland. It took one man to travel to America and ginger hair spread like SARS. With growing advances in stem cell research, there are many hair care products available to those who are folically disabled. But that would be like turning your back on your Native Land, which spawned the likes of Paddy O'Shea and Timmy O'Toole and who could forget CarrotBoy O'Mallet, the latter day saint of Ireland.

Cinema Screen for about €30. Is it just me or does this offer seem too good to be true. Plus on browsing their website, I have yet to find a photo of the actual product.

Something Fishy going on there.

Kitchen Toaster PC. I have always had an interest in Mods on PC's but this one caught my eye, as you might imagine.



Thinks of the security savings. Someone breaks into your house to steal the most expensive and useful items. Jewellery, TV, Computer. But not the toaster ... everyone has a toaster.

Disguise your PC as a toaster and you will never have to worry about it getting stolen.

Oh, lol

So, I'm browsing through my CSS sites and i see this site. I decide to read this post.

As I read down through the post, I decided that this person seems to have a weird view on apples, and that I never realised that there were actual apple stores in the US.

so it was a very apple filled weekend…on saturday, me and nicole went to the grand opening of the new apple store at jordan creek mall…the doors to the mall opened at 7am so people could line up before the 10am store opening…we decided that there wouldn’t be that many people lining up early, so we went at 10am…however, the local paper had mentioned that the free shirts they were giving away for the opening had been sold for up to $200 on eBay, so there were probably 500 people lined up when we got there…they did keep people moving through the store, and we got up to the store at about 11:20am [...]

That's a good couple of lines before I read the following

[...] once there, i became weak and decided to go ahead and buy the new 40GB iPod Photo…to be fair, i had outgrown my 15GB iPod, and it was donated to a good cause, [...]

Is it just me or did anyone else think that the author was actually talking about apples as in the fruit.

Last Night, I was sitting on the couch after almost finishing a chinese from Millenium Chinese, Cabra. I say almost finished, that's mainly due to the pack of Jaffa cakes inhaled previous to getting the chinese.

So, full of coke, chicken, jaffa and rice. I decided my life is not fully complete. I still haven't figured it out. I have a job, a place to sleep, money, some friends, and a car. I know the main thing missing is the girlfriend, but that's because Donna's in limerick and I only get to see her on weekends. I have accepted that fact, but there is still something missing. Many people would say a Car, but I got one of those. I think if I didn't have one, that would be what I would say is missing, but I do have one, so I can't say that.

Oh yeah, here's my mini apparition. Everybody wants a car, but now that I have one, it makes me more aware of the fact that I have nowhere to go.

A little advice please...
