Ireland’s favourite…
Interested to see the origin of Guinness’ latest product is so blatantly on show…
Plus…they look awfully like crisps to me!!!
I was there first…
I thought I had heard everything, but I was very wrong. We were in the car park of the local shopping centre, looking for a parking spot so we could take Lily to a bouncy castle amusement (for children maybe, hell for adults!) centre.
After driving down a few aisles, the car in front of me indicated right and moved into an empty spot. Then joy upon joys, I see a free spot on the left, indicate and maneuver into the spot. Success!
The car behind started the toot their horn and flash their lights, i get out of the car to see what is going on, to find two red-faced women screaming at me to get out of their spot! Apparently they had seen it was free from the next aisle, put their foot down and came around the corner to find us pulling into it. But it was definitely theirs as they had indicated first!!!
They were very confused when I just started to laugh and then drove off in quite a huff!
Little Sister says hi…
It’s been confirmed. Lily’s Little Sister takes after her father and doesn’t like having a camera stuck in her face either:
Beyonce…
Beyonce’s publicist tried to get a few photos of her on stage censored, because they weren’t too flattering.
Let me guess how that works out for them…..
Out of the mouths of children…
Peter: Lily, shall we go to the shop?
Lily: Yes, let’s go to Marks Expensive!
The Success Story of Our Time…
I’d hate to know his definition of failure!
Bill Cullen consents to €8.2m judgement – Irish Times
For any Irish readers you’ll hopefully get the joke without this explanation, but for others out there, Bill Cullen up until this year was the presenter of Ireland’s version of The Apprentice show, now his businesses are falling apart, he is selling up everything to pay back the bank and presumably his apprentices are back in the employment office.
Then again, this probably is a success in today’s Ireland!
Pendant Alert…
It took all my strength not to reply to this:
If the Guardian let me add pictures to their comments section, I just might not have been able to resist:
Staying A’Heil
Did anyone else catch the unfortunate dance/wave/salute by a German official at the Olympic opening ceremony last night?

Looks like I wasn’t alone in seeing it, but the papers managed to get a better view of it than mine recorded off the TV. Boris looks like he can’t contain himself.
The view from my office window this morning…
I can understand, really I can, it was warm last night and he just wanted to let his polar bear be as cool as possible. What a man!!
Kat takes a dip…
We went to race my speedboat this afternoon. And no, before you ask we didn’t win the lotter, it’s my remote control speedboat.
The problem is it ran into mechanical difficulties right in the middle of the canal. The wind was trying to blow it away, so Kat dived in to save the day! My Hero!!
Funny Post on the Telegraph boards…
This is the funniest post I have seen in a while (from this page):

Wow. That would be a thing to see.
Are your convictions strong enough to go through with your threat, or is it some simple through away comment as you know you will not have the opportunity to shake his hand.
Can I suggest you fill your pockets full of canine excrement and hang around outside the houses of parliament. If you see Ken Clarke, you could hold out you hand as if to shake it. When he holds his hand out, pull yours back and then plunge it into your pocket and eat that doggy poo.
That’ll show him!!

Oh and the Telegraph boards are swamped with wierdos – not just shit eaters but some really quacks!
UNSC…
Does anybody know what UNSC stands for? Well apparently the BBC news department things it stands for United Nation Security Council. They needed a log to use on a recent news article about Syria, and decided to Google it, as you do.
This is what was shown on TV:
When of course everyone knows that is the logo of the United Nations Space Command from the Halo series. They should of course have used the standard UN blue logo:
Although, maybe this is just an elaborate ruse to reveal that the UN does in fact have a Space Command!!!
Guess what this ad is for…
Can anyone guess what this ad is actually for…
Prizes for the dirtiest answers!
Modern Politics…
Just stumbled across this excellent representation on modern party politics.
Politician: “I agree with what the Prime Minister said”
Journalist: “But you don’t yet know what she said?”
Politician: “Yeah, but I’m sure she’s right”
Bohemian rhapsody in a panda car…
Found this gem of a video, well in fact a few different gems. If you have 15 minutes to spare they are well worth a watch. But expect to want to watch Wayne’s World and hum the tune all day long!

What’s in a name…
We are teaching Lily peoples names, which she seems to enjoy, but of course being Lily she decides to rename anything and anyone at will. For example:
Lily Helen Greer – Lily Hello Gorilla
Pepper (our black cat) – Guzik (Teresa’s black cat)
Teresa (Kat’s mum) – Telesa
Auntie Jennifer – Auntie Jenniflower
Lily also likes to talk to Teresa on the phone. So when she finds one of our phones, picks it up and starts to talk to Teresa. We were in the library this morning, Lily snuck behind the counter, picked up the phone and said “Hello Babcia (grandmother)”. It made everyone laugh except for Kat who had to go and collect her!
She has also picked up some naughty words from her mother (!!!) her favourite is Fuck off Peter, downstairs! She’s also quite keen on Come on daddy, fuck off Peter, downstairs! There is obviously something wrong with me as I always laugh at it, and feel wierdly proud of my potty mouthed daughter!
Did someone mention Colombian prostitutes…
Just in case you have been living under a rock full story can be found – here.
How the Leaning Tower really looks…
Have you ever seen photos of friends or relatives who just came back from holiday to Italy? Did they Visit Pisa? if so then you have probably seen a photo just like these:
What they should show you looks a bit more like this though:
