To my German fans
"Dear Herren,
I humbly apologise if you have come here looking for pornography. I have no idea why the German Yahoo image search should be guiding you towards us on your quest for all-too personal gratification, but now that you are here you may as well read on. I am talking to you.
I am truly sorry I cannot offer you a “porno pet” or a “little porno” (Ugh! By the way! Little porno? Seek help) or indeed some “Asian porno”. I can offer you some “Buffy porno” but I don’t think it is what you are looking for. I would really like to know what you were going to do with the pictures of “fat Ukrainian women with gold teeth” though. I seriously hope that this was for a project of some kind, but since you were using the search engine “xxx.excite.de” I find it difficult to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I find it marginally upsetting that I am getting about 5% of my meagre traffic from sexually-frustrated Germans. I imagine that you find it equally frustrating that all I am providing you with is tirades against Irish politics and less-than-insightful articles about my neuroses. However, I imagine you liked the article about the Eurovision. Perhaps soon I’ll do a piece on David Hasselhoff.
I suspect that the folks at Yahoo.de are in the midst of some sort of Teutonic-Anthropology experiments with you as the white mice, so to speak. I would send them a mail to ask them, but perhaps I am part of the study as well. Best keep schtum in case they send the search-engine SS around to burn down our houses.
Anyway, sorry I couldn’t give you the filth you were looking for. Please accept a picture of Marlene Dietrich dressed like a man as an apology. Don’t try stalking her or following her home, she’s dead.
Auf wiedersehen,
C."

Baby Books TBP

From inside:
“Make sure not to have your baby circumcised. Otherwise, this could lead to major problems in later life when your child is in the communal showers after a particularly vigorous march against the rights of single mothers. The foreskin is a potent symbol of fascism and any able-bodied brown shirted male should be able to fit at least three marbles under the dermal hood. If problems with the foreskin should occur, it should be drilled into your child from an early age not to reveal his dirty little secret to anybody and that he should overcompensate when participating in a tramp beating. A prosthetic-penis or plastic surgery could also be considered.
If the baby is born with any colour hair that is not blond, make sure the scalp is shaved daily. Blond can be worn with pride (but not too much pride), but only if kept closely cropped. All other hair should not be allowed grow more then one centimetre. I once was called into a house where the baby’s black hair was let grow to shoulder length. I was forced to trim the baby’s hair to the scalp with a Swiss-army knife. The baby is a lot more content now, and the scars are healing nicely.”

The New House

As you can see from the picture first floor blockwork is complete.
The reason for no blocks on the front left of the house and just exposed insulation its because the front windows are being framed with Hallmark blocks , we're going for the Nikel blend colour but they delivered Pewter by mistake which is what you can see on the palletts.
Current estimate by the builder is to be finished by start August, and so far everyting is on track, so fingers crossed. Watch out for the next phase comming soon, First Floor block work complete, followed soon by Roof.

10 things you should know about buying a house
1.Everything you’ve heard it true. Buying a house is a painful, hateful process. Hate the process, not yourself, it is largely out of your control anyway
2.Get a broker, even a weird anti-social slightly psychotic one. They’ll talk to the banks so you don’t have to
3.Ignore everyone. If your paperwork is in order, tell everybody else that everybody else is holding things up
4.Praise the Lord that guns are illegal in this country. It must save a lot of peoples skins
5.Amnesiac monkey estate agents are the bane of your life. Prepare to have the same conversation 47,892 times
6.You are buying a house, it will become a home later. Repeat this like a mantra
7.Bitch a lot to other people that have not bought a house yet, it’ll terrify them and be cathartic for you
8.Relax; if it falls through it’s probably not your fault and fuck ‘em anyway
9.Trying to move out of one house; into another; have a baby; rent the existing place; re-mortgage; buy furniture; pack; paint; clean and remain cheerful is a challenge, but not impossible
10.Be cool, you’ll look back and realise that you hated every moment of it, but it was worth it.
House of pain
I decided to make a picture of how I feel about the house buying process. I came up with the picture below, which I call "Hope". Hope encompasses all the feelings I have towards amnesiac monkey estate agents, weird aggressive brokers and pushy sellers. I think it is probably the most complex thing I have ever drawn.
Hmm. Could be darker. Turn off your monitor, turn off the lights and close your eyes for full effect. If you would like sound, try emitting a low pained moaning while dragging your fingernails down a blackboard.
