    heh! any excuse eh?

    So is going to be Murphys or Guiness?

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Oh no.

    Guess who's booked himself on the London-Scotland sleeper without realising its St Patricks night?

    God knows its a right rollicking rolling booze fest in the bar carriage at the best of times, tonight will be mayhem.

    Oh well, only one way to survive...

    My uncle is off to my grandparents' home somewhere in Donegal, so my cousins are coming here. Unfortunately that means I cannot drink Guinness and exclaim "Guinness is Good for you" and drink Whiskey...

    It's down to Darcy McGee's Pub at about 3pm for me and a few of the lads today. No Guiness for me (can't stand that mud that people insist is actually potable) but if you happen to be a bottle of Jameson Whiskey, I suggest that you should be very afraid...

    I'm going to do the English thing to do while I am away in Interlaken and trash something in the name of St. George. Or just have a few drinks; probably a better idea.

    Let's see, this wee one is ready....



    Had her first belt of Jameson this morning... mixed up with a little bit of mother's milk in a bottle and sure enough, we've got a new sister in the festivities.

    Myself, I've been aching for a Beamish (no Murphy's or Guinness in this house, thank you very much) or a Power's all day. Come 7PM, it's off to a friend's house for a party and we shall enjoy much of both. Oh, did I happen to mention... reason #87 why men should do everything they can to get the missus to breastfeed? Designated driver for as long as she's nursing!

    Anyway, time to go. Let the festivities begin... if you see me posting after midnight, please take no offense, I'm not responsible for anything I write at that point. As it will most likely be mindless blather, I suggest you just ignore it.

    I think it is a papist plot to conquer the world.

    *Looks around*

    Get everybody drunk then move in for the conversion.

    But I am on to them now...
