    So, I've just lost my job at the helium factory, I walked out.

    I wasn't going to have them speak to me in that tone of voice...:p

    So summer has arrived. I'm judging this not by the weather but by the fact that knacker drinking has retuned. Plague of our city!!!

    I'm in favour, so long as it is done fairly discreetly and people clean up after themselves.

    In the midst of the current economic turmoil, it is significantly cheaper than getting your wallet raped in a pub, and in the absence of your ears getting buggered by the horrid hooks of Lady Gaa Gaa and The Black Eyed peas, it is a stimulant for the age old art of conversation; truly a catalyst for fraternity and solidarity in these troubled times.

    So get yourself a flagon or two of Devil's Bastard and head down the 'nal on Friday evening. And shout abuse across the river at the well-to-do folk with their jobs and G & T's. Who do they think they are?

    Who's she, Lady Gaa Gaa- Angela Downey?

    (I know, sad, couldn't resist...)

    I for one hope for a repeat of the smashin summer we had in 2006, absolutely brilliant summer, you wouldn't have wanted to step foot outside the country. Spent half the summer in the Castle Park or down at the River Court (amazing how you can make a 7up last so that you can hang out there for 3 hours!) Bring it on!

    Knacker Drinking = Keeps the money flowing, Ancient culture of the minorities, Brings use to spaces, etc. etc. As long nothing so offensive is done, like doing it where my eyes are looking. But i knew summer was back as the smell from the river brought a tear to my eye, (Ballyraggets sewerage can do that) :D until the smell from the brewery over powered that one. Anyone like the smell of the brewery?

    I'm in two minds about a fantastic summer, I work in a glasshouse which today was horrible to work in and that was a bit of a preview of what's to come. On the other hand, I can't wait to have a cracker of a farmer tan from all the cycling, woop, woop.

    No courthouse or MacDonagh. Don't really know how they did it but I suspect it may have been the streetview thing they had driving around. You can see a car as part of the wall of the Post Office. Has to be recent with the 300years on the Brewery.

    Looking for a couple of volunteers tomorrow evening for about an hour if anyone is willing to help. Duties are to stand on a corner for 15-30 minutes wearing a hi-viz jacket and watch a few cyclists out near Kilmanagh, if anyone can help.

    This seems to be the site by the person/people who are doing them up. Seems Google has a program called Sketchup for making them up.

    I've used Google Sketchup before - It's fairly intuitive but to get that level of detail takes a lot of time. Fair play to them.

    He's pretty much everywhere at the moment.

    If there's one thing the good weather will do it's bringing out Tootsie in grand wheeling fashion.

    Oh Tootsie, what hijinks will you get up to next?
