Good news
What I would give for a bit of good news.
All we hear about nowadays is the bad shit.
There are occasional little snippets that may be worth a laugh such as the pope finally discovering that condoms may have a place in society, but these items are few and far between.
Since I got up this morning afternoon, I have searched high and low for something cheerful. There is nothing there. Even the weather is fucking miserable.
And talking of weather, I suppose I should warn you all that we are in for another miserable fucking winter. Reynard the fox has started mooching around our garden again. The last time he appeared was in the depths of the snow last year, and he has returned again, only this time to forewarn us of another freezing spell. Foxes are wily little fuckers and they know a lot more about weatherforecasting than we do. So don’t come whinging back to me in a couple of months time – you have been warned.
I have to go out now. It is cold and miserable out there, but a lack of baccy is forcing me to face that. When I return, I want to read something cheerful on the Interweb.
How about a riot or two?
How about a lynching or two. Or more.
There must be some cheerful news out there?
Let’s hear it.
Not a riot, but this bunch seem pretty cheerful.

The Pope didn’t exactly say “in society.” OK for male prostitutes was his inference. So, good news for ya, GD.
Well, according to what I hear the world has agreed to loan y’all about $50-80 billion to tide you over…
Try not to spend it all on Guinness, won’t you?
; ‘ )
The Greens have jumped ship and called for an election. It’s a start!
In other news Cameron has cancelled his holiday in Thailand this Christmas because he feels our pain!
The good news is we will be now be run by people who actually tend to know what they are doing a opposed to the bunch of conniving useless, actually well beyond useless, gobshites that we have had for the last 13 years. Lets hear it for the IMF as maybe they will have the balls to finally kill off this Social Partnership crap meaning all those tossers with beards will have to get real jobs instead of swanning about telling every one about the problems of the Working Man while sitting on semi state boards lining their pockets
Brian Cowen dies in horrific drowning accident on visit to guinness brewery, wakes up, fuck it !!!.
Marcus – Yes. Um. Thanks for that……..
TT – It’s OK. I never charge for my services. It just doesn’t seem right.
Doc – That’s all very well, but we have to pay it back. With interest. Not that I intend to pay – I pay my debts, not someone else’s.
Bill – They should have jumped ship three years ago. Fucking wankers are every bit as much to blame for the mess. I just hope the electorate grind them into the dust where they belong. an I have Cameron’s ticket?
Neelly – Oy! What’s this shit about beards? Beards are grand. I honestly don’t know which is better – a bunch of fucking culchie half-wits or a gang of foreigners. Either way, we have been shafted.
Beards, some beards he rephrased, are cool I’ll give you that.
Its just all these trade union gits seem to have beards. Is it some weird kind of initiation into the higher ranks of trade unionism or something like wearing a bowler hat if you are an Orangeman
News flash…Barbara Bush told Sara Palin to stay in Alaska! That’s a piece of good news, if she does.
Some good news:
The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.
It’s a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of the whining about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. Justice would be swift. Case closed!
You’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system: “Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight number ____. Shalom.”
Heh! Nice one, Mossy.
By far the best news on TV here is BBC World News America (yeah I know) at 7 pm. Last night the first 8 minutes were all about the deep shit Ireland is in.
