Today is the feast day of Saint Patrick and to celebrate I will be playing a gig tonight in London. If you are about come down to the 12 Bar Club where I will be playing at Irishnite at 8.04pm. If you play an instrument bring it down as my performance will be in true irish style of it being more of a party than a performance. Chifidh me sibh ansin.

Westlife Are Shit

I am sure Westlife are nice guys but I have just been doing some research into my upcoming Irishnite gig and I couldn’t help but notice that Westlife are in fact really shit. Take Billy Joel’s ‘Uptown Girl’ for example, not only did they do a shit version of it but they had to stick a gear change in at the end! I wonder who suggests these gear changes or is it a contractual thing. One thing to their credit however is that I managed to get through an entire song with them which is more that I can say about D:Ream!
Come to Irishnite. It is going to be the best thing in London this Saint Patrick’s Day.
Happy Saint Patrick`s Day

Out in Switzerland a friend of the family in was cooking a “free range” chicken for our Saint Patrick`s Day meal. “Wonder if he knew he was free range” pondered my father. Then his brother chipped in, “Aye and the poor buggar only half fed.”
UK Budget

After having copied Ireland with the smoking ban the UK looks set to enforce charging shoppers for plastic bags – just like what Ireland does. Can we make March 17th a national holiday too? Will Ian Paisley be the next Prime Minister? Can Gordon Brown swim? (I know the last doesn’t relate to Ireland – I just liked the way the question sounded).
I am convinced that Ireland is the UK’s guinea pig. I have heard said Northern Ireland was a great training ground for the Falklands. What was Northern Ireland for?
I always liked that letter submitted to Viz:
Dear Viz,
Please can you give Ireland back to the Irish? And while you are at it, can you give them Hull as well?
