Things that have been pissing me off lately
1. Supervalues new marketing campaign, a hint at something more sinister perhaps? “Real Food, Real People”
2. “The Irish News of the World” a title that is almost certainly an oxymoran
3. The M3 Motorway. I’m not sure if I should bother, my opinion isn’t going to influence policy in this bizarre banana republic anyway. For the record though, building a motorway right smack bang through the middle of one of the worlds(and more importantly; Irelands) most important archaelogical sites is possibly one of the more ludicrous things this government has ever done. I wouldn’t mind so much if we were destroying someone else’s culture and history, such is the *Caucasian Way, but this our own stuff……man. As if the whole ‘Shell to Sea’ fiasco wasn’t proof enough that Fianna Fail are untouchable they go and pull this one((not to mention ‘Berties(alleged) Billions’, **Mary Harney(full stop), BIFFO being left in charge of anything more important than colouring inside the lines in his copy of ‘Colours and Numbers 6+’ and good ol’Mary Hannafin(pesky Gaeilscoileanna!)). I would hereby like to publicly thank, on behalf of the Irish people, the opposition parties in this country for being so unforgiveably weak and incompotent that we were left with no choice but to reluctantly re-elect Fianna Fail……….again.
Its times like these when I genuinely envy Britain with its choice of ‘The Conservitive Party’ and ‘The Torries’(get it? I done a blunt politikal oversation I did). At least over there, the opposition is equally capable so a change of personnel is a possibility. The downside, however, is that they’re both equally evil(no offence to the UKs entire voting public, by the way)
4. And you know whats REALLY PISSING ME OFF: those pea-brained-moronic-single-minded-tabloid-run-uninventive-back-patting-muppetologists that comprise the FAI BOARD OF SELECTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Terry FUCKING Venebles? A failed English number. 2? Why aren’t we even bidding for Jose? Or Martin O’Neill? Or someone with a bit of class, new ideas, Ruud Houllet? Cruyf? There is no reason why the FAI couldn’t afford the wages these guys would command, and the standard of living here is…….well……I mean……eh…..we’re at least a part of the ‘First World’ and theres plenty of away games. There’s no ambition, and if there was there wouldn’t be the strength of character required to see that ambition through. Houllier has expressed interest and Rafas contract looked a bit shaky during the week. C’mon people!
I’m not sure if anyone else noticed the striking similarity between a team of “Barmy Bobby Robson(washed up former great)/Stan the Man(heinously underexperienced former great of sentimental significance)” and “El Tel(washed up former mediocre journeyman)/Andy Townsend(heinously underexperienced former great of sentimental significance)”. Thankfully Andy has turned down he offer, pleading sanity, but El Tel is still the number one candidate. I blame Rupert Murdoc(whose name I can’t spell) and all his terrible tabloids which hold far too much sway in the world of sport. Our national team is shite because the FAI have consistantly picked the wrong man; Mick McCarthy, Brian Kerr, Stan. I actually think that Stan had bags of potential if only he had been given more time he could’ve been a hero but, alas, it was never to be. Fuck it, unless this blog is entirely subscribed to by Taxi Drivers I doubt the people with the power will ever learn…..sigh
5. The spell checker in WordPress doesn’t recognise the word ‘blog’-ironic?
*Caucasion Way: Destroy everything thats even slightly different, look down on other cultures, start wars for money, promote democracy in foreign lands and then undermine election candidates to make sure the great unwashed pick the ‘right guy’(and yes, its always a guy). Before someone says it, I know, almost all wars are for money.
**I know she’s a PD but they’re a splinter group of Fianna Fail and she’s been in government since the dawn of time so she may as well be in the FF.
