Make the nasty man get out of my head

Carl Jr's (burger chain) did a fabulous ad recently starring Paris Hilton. It's only flaw was the presence of Paris Hilton. You can see it here: The Spicy BBQ Six Dollar Burger A recruitment company have just psychologically damaged me for the remainder of my life with this: What’s Hot? Ye know, I think I he works here in one of the Labs………..

Camera Phone Blogging

OK so I figured out how to send a cameraphone picture via Flickr to Blogger but I had to hand-edit this text and post title afterwards. Need to suss how to do this from the phone. All this so I can get picture of new baby out to the world in double-quick time when he arrives. I need a life...... image003.jpg Originally uploaded by bandon1.

Anne Bancroft Dies

Damn - Great actress. Still looking stunning even last year. She was great in the final episode of the last series of "Curb" with Mel Brooks. They cast Larry in "The Producers" so that it would be a flop but it all back-fired. Beautiful recursion. But I have to admit to never seeing all of “The Graduate”. What a Philistine. Graduate star Anne Bancroft dies

Dilation diary

I’ve threatened Catherine that i’m going to blog from the delivery room in Bons. Divorce may result if i do. But I’ve just figured out how! My first phone blog entry.

That's one hell of a plum Matron

Never let it be said that this blog encourages porn. But here's one just for the fellas: Rachel Gets Fruity I hope that fruit isn’t meant to be life sized or life coloured. If it is, I’m in serious trouble.

I got news for you pal. You ain't leading but two things right now: Jack and Shit. And Jack just left town.

Just wasted 2 hours of my life watching "Closer". What a steaming turd of a movie. Why do they make films about people who you just want to die within 10 minutes of the opening scene? Not a great weekend of movies. “Meet the Fockers” was desperately disappointing - how lazy were they to blow the opportunity of having Hoffman and Streisand on the screen together? And “Ocean’s 12” was only passable.

Infacterly Butterly

This guy is more and more impressive by the day. Not only is this just an awesome idea for a wet miserable June Bank Holiday Sunday but it also makes me think back maybe 30 years ago to when my grandaunts down in “The Boola” in Adamstown in Wexford used to make butter. I still remember the ridged wooden paddles they used to form the butter and how gorgeous everything they fed us was (those eggs, mmmmmm).

Unique O'Neill

We specialise in giving our kids names that either can't be pronounced outside of Ireland (Oisín), can't be pronounced inside of Ireland (Sibéal - or Sibín as the Health Board thinks she is called) or make people go "ah, named after X?" (Oscar - actually named after the Sesame Street character). Child number 4 is in serious trouble. This post has some interesting ones worth considering. Follow the link to Google.

Poptastic

Bloody vending machine in work is only taking exact change so I could only get a Smarties bar. But this is no ordinary Smarties bar - it's an "exploding one"!Massive flashbacks going on here. What the hell was the name of that sweet crystalline stuff in a bag that you shook on to your tongue in the 1970's and it exploded all over it? it's the same stuff. Hurrah, I've got a disco on my tongue.

I finally get my own character in Dilbert

I've always thought I was a dead ringer for Wally in appearance if not behaviour. Today's Dilbert has "Milt", a married man. It’s me I tell you, it’s me. I need to lie down now - yesterday was both Oscar’s and Catherine’s birthday. 27 kids in KidzKlub going mental. I was exhausted just trying to remember their names. Why is it that little girls know how to cartwheel but little boys don’t?
