That brings back lovely memories of my old man trying the same with me in Murray's in Dun Laoghaire. As I'd never actually seen vinyl copies of Madness - One Step Beyond and The Specials' eponymous debut before, naturally I assumed if I didn't get them there and then I'd never have another...

The woman who heads up the team of cleaners in our office was an utter bully who was abusive to her staff (I watched her make fun of a lovely Brazilian girl in English with one of her Irish senior members of staff, knowing she couldn't understand, it was horrible). I've been planning on calling...

Well my great grandad had the woman two doors down brought to a house over the way in Summerhill and executed as she informed on him and his comrades and the Black and Tans came in, scared the wimmen, and wrecked the place looking for arms (hidden in specially created hidey holes under the...

I hope you kicked the absolute shit out of him

@scutter It's probably no consolation to you to hear that Judes would've beaten Coolerry today too..... Anyway, fuck me, Cuala v Clara in Parnell Park next Sunday will be absolutely rocking.

Ah no no. Read the post. We came to a basic agreement weeks ago. He just has a tendency to come all guns blazing. He calms down then. I want to write songs, but I WANT to do an album of 10 of his songs because, well, I think it could be popular. And if I'm in control it'll sound good. I hope. I...

Christ, been on the phone to the song-writer (who isn't in the band but we play most of his songs). We agreed a basic framework weeks ago on the off chance any money ever came in. I said at the outset that I hope he makes millions but that all I wanted was a career out of it or an extra few bob...

Dude from a publishing company getting on to me today wanting our (my) music. Nothing overly exciting but I suppose one must be on the right track.

Yep, as long as they stay together and keep the work ethic they could do phenomenal things. The 1994 team had Vinny Holden, aged 40, in the full back line, by contrast. That'd be a shame for that to happen to that Judes team. Some lovely hurlers, some real warriors in there and they play the...

They put up a good display (save for gifting Cuala a goal) and they're going in the right direction. They were unfortunate to meet a really fantastic team. Oisin Gough had Danny Sutcliffe in his pocket. But they say you gotta lose one to win one and Cuala lost 3 (or was it 4?) years ago and...

Decent people. I've lately had dealings with a load of people, instead of existing in my own cocoon. The pricks here genuinely stopped me jacking in music, one of Bitch Falcon saved our band rehearsal on Thursday when there was no onus on them to do so. Family members, especially the old man...

Paul Kimmage was impressed with my tunes and offered to send it on to someone he knows in the biz. Paul Kimmage. My hero. I'm really happy.

My new 18 year old French bass player has already become my most trusted lieutenant. The kid's a diamond.

Artwork received. Exactly what I wanted. Possibly inspired by my experiences with 1p-LSD...

Yeah, that's when she had to leave her gaff. And the majority of the people in Dvor, her town, celebrate that every year. I don't ask too many questions. Usually because she's shushing me as she's watching X-Factor Adriatico on Youtube....

You'd understand if you could see her. We walk down the street and you see dudes looking at her and then quizzically glance at me. Although work and the stress of driving this band of mine means I'm a almost a stone and a half less than when we met and 2 and half less than I was on May 1st 2014...

Yeah, her family had to leave their home in the middle of the night and go live in Bosnia or somewhere for a decade or something. When they went back to their house some Croat-Muslims had been living in it and every possession/memento from their life there was gone. Her father died from a heart...

Off me on/off missus (who is a Serbo-Croat and was on her holiers.)
