Sir Alan should see a Gastroenterologist about that gut of his
He clearly has a serious ailment in it. He gave the job to someone who thinks “I’ll give 110%” is a reasonable answer to “what can you do for me?”.
Hopefully he’ll put Michelle in charge of his hugely successful e-m@iler division. Or join Tim in the Face Electrocuter pyramid scheme.

Tonight's Final - The Badginator vs Bride of Chucky
Only 20 minutes to go before the bloodfest of the final episode of The Apprentice. Everything I have read gives it to the Princess of Darkness but I’m still rooting for the woman who puts the Badger in Ruth Badger.
Ruth is like a good Tequila - it scares you just a bit but always delivers the goods.
I’m convinced that Michelle will turn out to be the prototype for Amstrad’s new generation of FemBot.

Looks like (s)he's a future swimmer
All is well in womb-land. Babba did some fine full body kicks during the scan.

I have an imaginary friend, he's a T-Rex
OisÃn, aged 4, has an interesting imagination. He’s come a long way since he shot out at 40 miles per hour without pain relief.
Four births, fours days of madness but I will never ever be able to describe it as well or as hysterically funny as this. Best blog post of 2006 so far.

Another fine Market
Saturday was showery and windy but that didn’t seem to deter the crowds to the Farmer’s Market in Bandon. I popped down with big sis Fiona and babba Fionn. Before I headed out I had been reading a great article on the “old” market in the Bandon Opinion. Well worth seeking out, particularly for the description of the overwhelming stench of s***te that used to accompany the market in the old days.

Never listen to a word I say
He got rid of The Tulip and is keeping The Black Widow! My only recollection of her over the entire series is swigging champagne in Top Shop. I have to hand it to her, she has slyed her way through to the end. Another dark horse like Tim last year? I hope not. But at least my fave, The Badger, got through.
Next week is must see TV.

Conor's Top Tip
“The Apprentice” is starting. By the end of the programme, we’ll be saying goodbye to Bimbo and Bouncer. The final episode is between The Badger and The Tulip. You heard it first here.

Sometimes the customer is an idiot
Our 9 year old tv has gone on the blink. It was a great 32" Philips Matchline job whose only drawback was that it wasn’t widescreen. We started on the hunt for a replacement on Saturday. Tried Soundstore, Harvey Norman, Xtravision, O’Dwyer’s and a few online places.
Result? It is nearly impossible to get a high-end 32" CRT TV any more. Philips, JVC, Panasonic and Sony have a tiny selection of wide-screen boxes with less functionality than four years ago.
