Stunned by the news that Berlusconi has published a book of messages of love and support from the Italian people (get it here).
Bertie really did miss out on what could have been a really lucrative market for him when he broke his leg. Maybe there’s still time though. I’m sure he has a few bob to throw a website up and get some belated messages from the Irish.

Spotted in Dublin by @ConorWilson on Twitter. As he says himself :
If you have a valeting problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them, maybe you can hire . . .


This whole Hangar 6 thing is getting ridiculous.
Why won’t the government just admit the truth. We can handle the truth. The truth is out there.
It could be our Area 51. Tourism potential surely?

Just one example from the must see website of the season – Sketchy Santas. Wondering if this is an Irish Santa from the 80′s? The bags the two girls are holding are pointing in that direction.
Yes, the result of the match was bad but you don’t have to sit there in silence. There’s lots of positive things you can do, so why don’t you?
1. Write to your TD expressing your outrage. Request a special Dail sitting to discuss this matter of national importance. Just say you’ll forgive them for the mess they’ve made of the country if political pressure can be brought to bear and change the result.
2. If your town is twinned with one in France, write to the local chamber of commerce and express your complete and utter disgust at associating in any way with that country.
3. Write to your local restaurant and demand that they remove from their menus the following : French fries, French wine or anything made in or touched by a French hand. If they hire French waiters or chefs, ask that they either receive a good kick up the arse or are fired.
4. If you have a blog – RANT. If your blog has LE in the title – you need to do something about that – and quickly.
5. Send a postcard to some random person in France and just express yourself. Remind them that Ireland won the Eurovision 7 times. Invoke the spirit of the French revolution, listen to their conscience and ask that they contact their Football authority to have the match voided.
6. Cut off your hand and send it to the French embassy. If you are averse to pain and really, really need your hand, cut off a frogs leg and send it instead.
7. If you are religious, say a prayer to St. Jude – patron saint of lost causes.
8. Punch anyone with a beret. Doesn’t matter if they are French or not. Beret wearers are ridiculous. Wearing onions around the neck is ridiculous too, but that practice seems to be on the wane.
9. Name your first born child “Thierryhenryisacunt”.
10. Call Joe Duffy and tell him to grow his beard back.
11. Hack the Wikipedia cheating entry. (oh, it’s already been done)
