Cupid Stunt

So it seems John Delaney want to hire an ‘outside advisor’ to oversee the appointment of the next Irish soccer manager. In other words, when the next guy’s head is on the block, Delaney can say ”don’t look at me, I didn’t hire him”

 Brian Kerr’s comments say it all really…

You learn something new every day, and today I learnt that the Polish prime minister and president are indeed identical twins. (Jak sie masz to any Polish readers.) Here’s a photo of Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczyński which I lifted from the RTE website.

The reason I mention the RTE website is because that photo appeared on rotation on their flashy slideshow thing to promote a news item about them. And whose photo came up next on same slideshow, advertising their tv show?

Coincidence? I think not…

This is an amazingly well executed hidden camera trick from Germany. Basically it’s identical twins on either side of a sheet of glass made to look like a mirror in a public toilet. The unsuspecting public’s reactions are priceless…

If anybody could translate what’s being said and stick subtitles on it might be even better.

And while I’m at it, here’s another hidden camera one. Imagine coming face to face with the grim reaper in your local Spar…

It seems that Munster’s new signing, All Blacks record try scorer Doug Howlett, has decided to celebrate the teams exit from the world cup in style. In an incident described as completely out of character, our Doug decided to jump all over two cars outside the Heathrow Hilton hotel, after allegedly trashing his hotel room. Maybe he was just reconditioning himself for his new career out Ballynanty way…

I see my old mate Matty Larkin was in the news lately, he’s the latest guy to have a run-in with Little Willie in his conquest to tell somebody in every bar in Limerick to ‘lump off’ or words to that effect. Now I worked with Matt one time, nice friendly guy with some unorthodox views but everybody’s entitled to their opinion. But I can’t really see himself and Willie ’squaring up’ to each other. Matt isn’t very tall but he’s not very small either, and fond of a few ham sambos if you know what I mean. And Willie is, erm, Willie! It’s not exactly like versus like but there you go.

I can see a tv series in this actually. In every episode Willie goes in to a city bar and picks a fight with a customer. And at the end of every episode somebody kills Willie. There’s a feature length special too, hour long episode when Willie goes abroad. Abroad to Newcastlewest or somewhere. But God help him if he ever walks into Ron’s and comes face to face with Twenty…

This is my contribution to the sod off skirmish…
