A view of the world from an Irish hole

Headline news

As someone with experience of the newspaper world I’ve often wondered about whether sub-editors are really humans or whether they are merely androids from another time/space dimension with merely the outward appearances of humans? A friend of mine (who wishes to preserve her identity) has send me the following link to a site which points towards a real lack of intelligent life-forms among those writing headlines. In fact, after reading these, I said that I’d never poke fun at the Anglo-Celt again! 

The 20 Funniest Headlines Ever!

The HSE

I’ve recently a great thing about the Irish HSE. If you rearrange the letters and add an iT you get shite!

Priceless

I sometmes feel like the late Cyril Fletcher on BBC’s That’s Life! because people send me the weirdest things. Take the following:

S-Class Merc – €100000

 

Socks and togs for the lads – €600

 

Financial support for the Co. Board – €20000

 

Scoreboard Sponsorship at Lavey GFC – €5000

 

Being caught undergoing a brain transplant, in the disabled toilet, in your own pub, at 4 in the morning, by a foreign national – PRICELESS.

 

As I was just saying ...

As I was just saying ...

 Now I know the identity of this hapless person, but I would like to launch a competition, a type of “Spot the Wanker” contest. Clue: I can state categorically that this is NOT county manager Jack Keys in disguise.

First Cavanman: What d’ya do when your washing-machine breaks down?

Second Cavanman: I give ‘er a good baitin’

Gone fishin!

Two men are out just fishing at

Killykeen and drinking beer.
Almost silently, so as not to scare

 the fish, Pat says, ‘I think I’m

 gonna divorce my wife. She

hasn’t spoken to me in over 2

months.’

His friend Mick l continues slowly

 sipping his beer then thoughtfully

says,
‘You’d better think it over, Pat. 

 Women like that are hard to find.’
