unordered thoughts

OK a long while. But as I always say…“Better late than pregnant.”

St Patrick’s Day is the one day of the year on which those who lay rightful claim to Irish ancestry celebrate and those who do not lie about it.

So for all you Irishmen and women out there a blessing…

.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. 

May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

May those who love us love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping. 

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live. 
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.

Also beware of the green beer; it is Leprechaun pee.

Happy St Patrick’s Day

A couple of mates and I went and saw Kevin Bloody Wilson at the Wynnum-Manly Leagues Club on 14 March 2010.  KBW played to a packed house with his daughter ‘Jenni Talia from Australia’ warming up the audience as the support act.

He trotted out his classics ‘do you f*%k on first dates?’, ‘Hey Santa Clause (you c*%t)’ and the time honoured ‘Nigel - f*%king legend’ along with ‘Living next door to Alan’ and ‘Mick the master farter’ were mandatory inclusions for the long time fan.

This was a gig in support of a new album release, however, and the new material did not fail to entertain including odes to cyclone Katrina and changing names with an Arab London Cabbie.

Laugh! I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.

If you get the chance go see Kev as he flogs his new album, Excess All Areas, round Australia then get along and see him; you won’t regret it.

He’s shorter than you expect when you meet him too. 

…why it is that you hear about people being disgruntled but you don’t hear of anyone ever being gruntled?

…what things were ‘the best thing since’ before sliced bread was invented.

…you wipe your arse with your bare hand but consider bacon to be unclean.
