Sadly I cannot observes, as my workplace blocks all the good stuff, however I've seen shanes teeth before and the only time it really worried me was in the clip for Fairytale of New York when his girlfriend kisses him - ew
I shall make a special trip to watch/listen these after work.
Someone at work just told me a joke.
Q: Why did paddy wear two condoms? A: to be sure, to be sure
Ramon, I haven't been in an altercation since I gave up the grog (a sad thing to bring up at this time of year, but there you go). Despite being fitter and healthier than I've ever been, I'm now just a big fluffy push-over.
MCL, If you're worried about your punching technique, try focusing on improving striking with your elbows, knees and forehead. They do more damage, you won't risk breaking your knuckles and they let you fight from a distance that most other people aren't comfortable with - which is handy if you're facing off against blokes, who are normally bigger, stronger and have a dominant reach.
If I could access such things I would add a link to "I Drink" sung by the Drones (which I like better than the original though I like that too)
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn would be more appropriate?
ReplyDeleteObserve, MCL.
ReplyDeleteWarning: contains close ups of Shane McGowan's teeth.
The Frank Ryan refered to in the song was an Irish socialist who fought in the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War.
I Drink by Charles Aznavour.
ReplyDeleteThe Drones MySpace page. I Drink available in the media player.
I believe it's also customary for someone to post a link to Another Irish Drinking Song by Da Vinci's Notebook on occasions such as these.

For Shame!
ReplyDeleteAll this talk of drink.
Today should be about going out and beating the shit out of Protestants.
Followed by drinks.
Mindless violence, followed by alcohol!
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder St Patrick's Day is so popular!!
Is it okay if I just continue on with Mindless and then drunk? I punch like a girl.
ReplyDeleteI punch like a girl.
ReplyDeleteYou should talk to Alex about that, MCL.
Apparently she packs a mean wallop.

Ramon for a moment I thought it must be Poetry Slam Friday, so poetic were your words.

ReplyDeleteAlex, are you sure just didn't go on Ladette to Lady to turn your life around?
Using the term "lady" like that might be stretching it a tad, Boogey. And it's more like "Complete cunt to reclusive geek by way of fat drunk".
ReplyDeleteNow there's a reality show that I bet people would watch.
I'm developing a crush on Alex.
ReplyDeleteI think we all are, Catlick.
ReplyDeleteAnother Pogues drinking song can be viewed here
ReplyDeleteThis one is in my top 5 songs of all time.
All time.
Including the 19th century.
I think Alex is in fact Alex, Witchie.
ReplyDeleteYes Witchy, (is it Witchy or Witchie) I'm afraid that unless Teresa's real name is Alex, I am most definitely not her.
ReplyDeleteI do like chicken soup, though. Especially if it's the creamy and noodley kind.
Mmmm. Might pick some up this arvo.
Well, I hope you start feeling better at any rate, Witchy.
ReplyDeleteRamon stole my line.
