Purple People Eater

Hi there,

Thinkin' I might put some Green Jelly up here... Thinkin' I mightn't...



That will either work or it won't.

Funnily enough, everything that stopped working after I downloaded Quicktime 7.whatever.the.fuck has started working again. This is A Good Thing, although QT does insist on trying to open Everything — even when it knows it can't. This is annoying and I don't know how to make it stop.

By the by... Today I went to the launch of RTÉ's new schedule (for anyone not familiar with Ireland and our Public Broadcaster, that's what RTÉ is. I'm soooo helpful!). The verdict is in — more of the same.

They've still got Podge and Rodge, which is nice, after all those rumours that they were going to off-fuck to England like they did before when they were Zig and Zag. I would really like to feel sort of patriotic and warm towards RTÉ, but it's really hard when they keep churning out shit. Oh, CSI is staying too.

Oh, Grainne Seoige was there — quite the stunner in the flesh. It's a shame she's only doing daytime stuff, I think there's a great future for her in late nite entertainment... (Bad Stephen! What would Liz say? Um... She'd agree? Oh, yeah...)

Boobeedoo...

John Kelly was there too, and I didn't have a conversation with him again. That's about three or four times now that I haven't had a conversation with John Kelly. Perhaps I'd better have the opening line, he just doesn't seem to be going for the alluring stare, or the Peter Sutcliffe eyes.

That blondie woman from Off The Rails was there too (is she Pamela Flood or the other one? y'see, this is why I can't talk to these people!). Aside from being totally and utterly annoying, she's quite attractive.

David McWilliams has a three-part series coming up which should be good. Of course, he couldn't be arsed turning up for something as crude as a press meet'n'greet, which is a shame. Mind you, what could I say? "I really like your show — well, I did, but since I stopped being on the dole I can no longer watch it. Also, your book was good, if smug and inconclusive."

Sorry Dave, I call it like I see it.

Which brings me to an ongoing gripe of mine — I keep getting stopped from writing things because of 'Libel laws'. Libel, Schmibel! If they hadn't done what they did they wouldn't be fair game, and if they've managed to cover up what they did so well that a court finds me in the wrong, then there's something very wrong with the system.

Apparently Pat Kenny sues every time someone refers to him as Pat the Plank — possibly in reference to his wooden presenting style, I dunno — and so I'm not allowed to call him that.

Jesus, I do go on a bit...
