How many ways to review a Bic Biro!

One of the better ones…

3.0 out of 5 stars Wait for next release, 17 Dec 2007

This new Christal ballpoint pen I got is wonderful.
The best part of this compact and versatile text processor system is that it works wireless. True wireless. No need to look for a wall mount, no playing around with converter-plugs when you’re in a different country with different power and phone plugs. Even better, it is so perfectly wireless that you don’t have to search for a WiFi hotspot.
And the versatility is hard to beat. With Word or OpenOffice you need extra plug-ins to do foreign character-sets or spreadsheet functions and graphics are awkward. Not with this text processor. It handles any character-set natively, no fiddling with pesky menus when you want to add a Hebrew or Hindu quote into your Katakana essay. And it does vector graphics natively as well.
As wonderful as it all is it’s a tool with some flaws. Like the spell checker and thesaurus. Try as I might I couldn’t get those installed. Some other features like word-count and paragraph reformatting are absent. And others, like text-justification are not entirely user-friendly, you can get but it takes a lot of training. On the other hand it makes perfect backups as you go.
All in all a wonderful instrument, and when they get those flaws worked out in the next release it’s a world beating text processor.

Cooking with Booze!

December 17, 2007

Not quite sure what to squeeze into the stocking of your uncle with alcoholic tendancies? Got ya covered!

CookingwithBooze.org is the web version of the book! Chinese Beer Chicken was the best of the bad bunch for me as im a fussy fucker when it comes to eating anything!

Mix half the garlic, the soy sauce, cornflour and a dash of beer and marinate the chicken in it for at least a couple of hours. Cook the rest of the garlic, the spring onion and the ginger in a little oil until they begin to soften, then add the chicken to stir-fry. When it begins to cook, add some more soy sauce and the sugar, and when that’s evaporated, pour over the beer. When that’s evaporated too, you’re done. Serve with rice.

hmm just seems that this guy just fuckin poured beer over a perfectly good meal to start with!

What not to wear while getting your mug-shot taken!

December 17, 2007

Some great images over on the smoking-gun from people who well to be honest were too stupid to get caught but kept their sense of humour!

the marvelous t-shirts worn by arrestees when they posed for the recent mug shots you’ll find on the following pages. Our favorites are the “I’m A Keeper” shirts worn by perps from Florida

Another personal favourite of mine was…

The Kite Runner 2007

December 17, 2007

Courtesy of pigsback.com i went to the UCI to catch this movie. As per your usual freebie it was enjoyable but again i just found it be very much like all the political action thriller films about, particularly like Rendition.

It spends a lot of time getting into the movie and the trailer is a bit mis-leading, most of the story line takes place in the flashback. It just seems to follow the present day Iraq / Terrorist mould that’s doin the rounds these days!

Some great acting and the young guys that play the lead are very good and their friendship is heartwarming if anything!

Tommy Tiernan

December 17, 2007

As a surprise for my birthday we headed into see Tommy Tiernan in Vicar Street last night which was i was looking forward to. Now i had filled myself with booze the previous night so i was very much under the weather but had started to feel more alive once we hit Vicar Street.
The support act was Tommy’s cousin Elanor Tiernan and as female comedians go she was very good, very dry but got the crowd nicely warmed up!

Then for the main man himself, he was his usual explosive self on stage and everyone in the place knew we were set for a high-octane Tommy performance! Previously in the press Tommy’s show had been criticised heavily for some of the material he had used, namely he had a lot of gags aimed at Down Syndrome kids and all well and good i had gone with an open mind but from the outset Tommy explained to the crowd about the contraversy that the show has attracted and to a rapturous applaus he said he would be keeping the material in. In the end when it came around to the gags i could understand why people were getting a bit nose out of joint with it, i will agree there were parts that were funny but after about ten minutes it was like watching a car crash.

What followed after was good material, a bit blue sometimes but a great laugh none the less, i would equal some of the weird stuff as having your dad joke about having sex to you and your mates, a tad bit embarassing but sure you better laugh or your a prude! His set didn’t last long, at max an hour and a half, no encore and we were booted out a little after 11pm. Wouldn’t be in a rush to buy the DVD i have to say!

Man chugs 2 litres of Vodka rather than surrender it at Airport Security!

December 14, 2007

Someone should look at this guys family tree, i’d put money on this guy being partially if not a closet paddy! We’ve all know the story about having to down your 5 euro bottle of water before you get to go through security at Dublin Airport but this guy takes the mick…

The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt. New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo. Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.

I suppose it could happen to anyone…
