Good show again last night. Have these people no common sense? What was with the Olympic Theme - guys in robes for a posh 'do' in the city? And the food looked brutal - cheap tinned tuna and tomato on a bit of bread.

There's a fundamental flaw with the show though, in that all the assignments are based making a quick buck. There should be consideration of potential long-term success - they should take into account whether customers would give repeat business rather than just counting up turnover less costs for a day. That's not the way it works in the real world.

It was amusing however, that the fella from over here suggested 'Best of British' as the theme for the food at the start of the show.

Just like the unionist party (deceased?) did at one of the previous elections when they had a "simply british" theme and wheeled in big red double decker buses ffs.

McIlroy hit a 72 around Augusta last week, playing with a couple of members. Dont know if that was off the green tees (or ladies tees) or whether they were giving him any putt under 4 ft, but competition pressure will make it a different proposition.

Check out this week's Celtic View and Tony Hamilton's (Head of Celtic media) column where he praises my devotion to the cause, unprompted, while he also rips into Warren Feeney for his mini Ibrox appeal and by extension the IFA! ;D

Manna from heaven, independent praise for me and criticism for the IFA all on the same page in the same publication. ;D

Across Ireland right now there are a group men sitting at keyboards completely flumaxed by this news.

We farmed pigs for many years, O'Neill, and I have a very early memory of the runt being in an auld tea chest by the stove in the kitchen.  My father, God rest him, was a bit of a Celtic fan and decided to call the pig Jimmy Johnstone, so every time there after we had a runt in the litter I remember referring to it as Jimmy Johnstone.

The deballing was vicious, especially when they put metholated spirits on the cut to stop the flies getting at them.  I was never allowed in to watch but do remember seeing the goolies on the floor afterwards and my da calling them plums.  Jam anyone?

The deballing is comparable to the now illegal practice of dehorning cattle with the wire rope.  Christ it was savage. :'(

That deballing thing reminded me of the recent James Bond movie, and the chair with no seat. Yet 007 still managed to give some bird a good rogering later in the film.

According to BBC website, 26% of PSNI are now catholic. 

Where are they all coming from?  I have never even heard rumours of someone I know joining the police!

26% kaflics, but how many nationalists? Or must that be left at the door on the way in?

And folks....for the effin umpteenth time the Irish built Titanic did NOT, that's right NOT sink on its maiden voyage.  It sank on its THIRD voyage.  Third time unlucky I suppose.

Agree, there was nothing wrong with it when it left Beal Feirste.

What this story does tell me is that the victim of the rapist must have been well connected?

Old wives cure for warts.

If you want to get rid of warts, then stick your hand into the throat of a pig right after it has been slashed.

Well its what my mother told me anyway.

If you want to get rid of genital warts you stick your boyo in a sheeps ass.

Well thats what Ziggy told me anyway.

And did the magistrate believe you?

Okay, we had pigs until I was about 10.

We kept the pigs in a sty which had access to a garden. I used to practice gymnastics on the pigging pen.

People here have a lot to say about Tony but fair play to him - he never hides behind a keyboard like the rest of us.
