So[1] I’ve started back up the auld quotes site, because, sure why not. I’ve also moved it over here, and so lost[2] everything that was over there. But *shrug* whatever.
If you are thinking of rereading the Harry Potter books before the last book[3] comes out you might want to check out DeadOn
Harlequin mightn’t be too happy with Sean Bean[4] as he is all set to moan lead a delegation to Parliament in support of Sheffield United’s plans to have West Ham docked points. On account of their cheating. Okay, not cheating, just irregularities. And to be honest, the players were only resting at West Ham…
Have you seen London’s logo for the Olympics? Don’t know what is is supposed to be? According to some people it is Lisa Simpson giving someone a blow-job. C’mon now! That’s just nasty.
Also Soupy Norman is one of the greatest ten minute over-dubbed things on de’telly. I haven’t spotted anything up on YouTube yet, but the people who did the dubbing also did Time Trumpet
No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
– Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure)
IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
– Anita, age 9 (bless you child)
Hmm, maybe I should start back up that quote site I had. It is still there, but it won’t be for long.
But to be honest, if I hadn’t found that here I wouldn’t have a clue what it meant
Anyways, the reason for the Macgyver mentions, why this wonderful fantabulous thingy I found today:
Awww, nostalgia for old programmes is great.
But speaking of the television, can i just say I’m not all together sure what is going on with Battlestar Galactica. I mean last night’s episode, what was that all about? Did the writers get together and say, “you know what, this isn’t what BSG is all about, and while that was cool ending for a season that scenario isn’t really what we want to be writing about. Quick, lets revert. Revert to the way things were.
Did you notice me not actually saying anything about the show, you know why? Cause spoilers are evil. Everytime someone spoils something, you know, by saying *HP spoiler*Show Spoilers ▼
I’m a little tired this morning, went out for one drink last night and, as is so usual in these cases, had slightly more than one. Wasn’t terribly late, got home round half one I think, but then was chatting, as you do, to a couple of girls and so did not go to bed at my usual sensible time of somewhere around half 11.
Still, I made it into work and can take any grumpiness[2] out on talking students, so it’s all good.
What isn’t so good is that this week is [fx: big-booming-trailer-type-voice] Budget Week. And while this is obviously important and will impact on my life can I just say now that I don’t care. And I won’t be reading the pages and pages and pages of newspapers devoted to this part of Fianna Fáil’s election campaign. Instead I think I’ll go do the lotto. After all it is tax free, isn’t it?
[cue another random point] Did anyone else catch any of this year’s Toy Show? And if so, is it just me, or is Pat getting even worse at the job? They should fly someone like Jonathan Ross in to do it, he likes toys and gadgets, and while some of his big-breast comments[3] wouldn’t be appropriate for the wains watching, but who cares. He’d be great at showing off pooing dolls and talking robots and whatnot. Pat Kenny on the other hand, not so much with the charisma or enthusiasm or ability to be a human.
And yes, I did catch Dylan Moran[4] on Jonathan’s show over the weekend H. I was actually watching[5] it when your text arrived. And the phone was in d’other seomra and I didn’t get it til I went to bed, and then wasn’t arsed replying cause I figured it was too late. But that is all beside the point. Tá an agallamh available on You tube and cause I like to make things easy[6] for the people who come here it is embedded under the cut.
Point the first:
Conferring was yesterday, so that meant a half-day off work. And I’ve another half day today. Yay for half days. Plus I’ll be taking the 23rd off, and maybe the 24th, so November is a great day for its lack of work. Plus Christmas holidays start on the 20th of Dec till Jan 3rd. Which is nice.
Uimhir a dó:
Went to see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan last night. That is some pretty fucked up shit and no mistakes. Hilarious, but fucked up. And in case you’ve seen it and are wondering what is real and what isn’t Salon have a guide so you don’t have to do any work of your own.
3:
I’m turning into a racist, or maybe just a poster-racist. Honestly. Seeing all those Polish ads up with no word of English is starting to bug me. Not as much as the dud who scribbled “Write in fucking English” on the Polish note[1] in out apartment block.
Point the 4th:
It felt really Christmassy yesterday. But I still haven’t bought any presents yet.
FIVE:
Those Brian O’Driscoll posters[2] on the sides of Dublin Bus look shockingly bad.
Point the 6th:
The end.

Anyways, I was over at Heather’s and spotted this Shelfari thing. For adding books and showing them off. Now, I already use Library Thing, but only for what I own, and considering that I haven’t quite achieved my goal of winning the EuroMillions lottery yet, I don’t actually own all the books I want to read. So I messed about with it a little. But it wouldn’t work properly with Firefox[1] and kept hanging, so despite having added a load of books over there I’ve decided not to use it, and instead am going to use aNobii for keeping a list of “everything I’ve ever read in the world and then some” see, this is my shelf.
And when I get round to it I’ll stick the fingy in the sidebar which’ll let you know what trifficly exciting book I am reading at any given moment. Doesn’t that make you happy?
