The Boomtown Rats

The boomtown rats were right, I dont like Mondays either! I had a doctors appointment today but it was cancelled cause the doctor was sick. Even the doctors in Lurgan phone in sick on a Monday! Maybe he was like me and had a few too many pints of carling yesterday enjoying the spurs!

Skivers in Spadestown, what's new? Back in Portydown when this song came out originally there was a great parody version. It was called "I don't like Mundies, I'd rather have Sandemans or Buckfast!"

Your Doctor is Dr G by any chance.

I had a Doctor's appointment this morning too at 9.30am. I was there at 9.20am, but the Doctor didn't show up until 9.45am. Must be a Monday thing right 'nuf.

It's about time someone mentioned Alan Partridge in here! Classic stuff. The handovers on air from Up with the partirdge to the happy-clappy 'morning jock' were hilarious.

Did Mr. Partridge do a BBC ad regarding teenage suicides too, or something? - I remember laughing anyway.

Are you going to Billy Elvis and Bap's roadshow?
You'll end up in the stables with all the Chinese workers and Taxi men....

Had a good oul glass and beer fight happen around me in a Lurgan 'hostile'ry on Saturday night. By Mondays, the crocs are definitely out on the street.

Where was that? Ashburn? Some weeks its real quiet and others there are fights everywhere.....Too many Foreigners and tinkers around Lurgan at the minute.

Nah, it was a wee bar that should well accommodate a lot of GAA heads judging by its recent change of ownership!

Ive been out in Lurgan most weekends for the past year now, the usual spots such as the courthouse, ashburn etc and have yet to see a fight - go to somewhere like Strabane or Derry on a weekend night and the place is like a warzone. You would literally see a dozen fights in clubs/pubs and outside them and on your way to the chippy!
