Fianna Fail Ard Fheis speeches were what this country was built on. Charlie Haughey held the country in the palm of his hand on April Saturday nights in the 1980s. There was magic in the air.
spending the weekend at the gold coast
28 degress
not a cloud in the sky
the kids feeding a dolphin
Liverpool score 6.
Limerick beat offaly.
A 16/1 winner.
And Munster beaten…
Yesterday was just awesome.
I celebrated in Anandas in Dundrum.
After a I beat an almighty hangover with a superb piece of midday sleep, it looks like I’ve got off without any further ill-effect. No shakes, no fear, nothing. The good lady is away, I’ve a belly full of pork steak from an opportune roast around the folks’ house and John Rambo has just fixed south east asia by killing half of it.
Double entry book-keeping. A beautiful concept.
Isn’t it?
The fact that even the most complex of transactions can be accounted for in such a simple way.

Its such a pity that accountants got involved in it though.
Bit of Paul Brady on the radio on the walk this morning.
Put me in great form.
I was just about nineteen
When I landed on their shore
With my eyes big as headlights
Like the thousands and thousands who came before
I was going to be something
Smiled at the man scrutinising my face
As I stepped down off the gangway
I’m cycling down Adelaide Road to work this morning and spot some coins on the road. €4.50 in three coins. Nice start to the day.
For lunch I go over to the market out the back of the Harcourt complex thing and get to the burger stall, because I do love the taste of a good burger (I can’t usually get 'em, cos my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me one too). Unfortunately, the dude behind the counter tells me he’s just finished.
It’s around 2pm. I’m busy in work.
I think he’s Brazilian. I express my disappointment and tell him I was really in the mood for a burger, but, hey, not to worry. He points to a wrapped up burger and tells me that that’s his own and I can have it for free. I say “no way, that’s yours!”, he insists, and then points at another wrapped up one and tells me he’ll have that instead. I say, well, if you’re sure, ok, but how much do I owe you, but the dude won’t take a cent. I see they do burger and fries for €6 so I count out the €4.50 I found and tack on a .50c for the sheer soundness of the guy and he reluctantly takes it. And it was a fucking nice burger. A lovely moment on my Thursday.

Did you see him make it, bro?
Nah, he was all done, he was clearing up.
But I could tell this guy had a nice burger there and whatnot and would be listening to salsa music later. You see where I’m coming from?

Prize to the first forumite who can tell us what denomination the coins were.
€2, €2, .50c
I doubt there was a half cent coin there.
Ah jaysus tinnion. People who aren’t accountants can count too.

Green tea.
Fucking lovely.
Check out the big brain on Runty.
I couldn’t believe my luck. Probably some drunk coming out of Silks casino the night before.
