Galway Water Crisis Protest

Galway Water Crisis

Following on from my last post, The Looking Glass has asked me to post on a protest that’s happening over the water fiasco:

“Protest going ahead Monday 23 April. Assemble at City Hall, College road from 6pm. Please text people about this and ask them to pass it on. Also can you copy and paste this and post it as a bulletin yourselves. Its crucial we get large numbers of people at this protest. Thanks”

See you there and bring your own water!

Catching Bird Flu on the Internet…

bird flu aggregatorMy earlier post on peace-keeping chickens has shown up on a bird flu aggregator. It’s an ill wind that a Google Adsense entrepeneur doesn’t make an aggregator out of to make a killing on modern paranoia. And I’ll bet that they make an avian killing on this one. It’s dripping with the paraphenalia of paranoia: face masks for your kids, supplements, and, um, DVDs. Which reminds me of a joke I just made up:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Well it couldn’t because the road was full of people who were statistically more likely to die from road traffic accidents than bird flu.
Boom boom. Buck boock.

This image is one of the most viewed on my website, for some reason. I think many people are looking for ways to stop smoking at this time of year. There are also a few countries that are on the verge of introducing smoking bans. I personally thought the smoking ban was great as I used to work frequently in nightclubs throughout the country as a stilt performer with the lads and lasses in the Grooveyard, and would spend most of Sunday trying to wheeze my way back to health only to do it all over again the next weekend. I’ve heard from a number of smokers that they’ve developed the habit of going outside for a smoke in their own homes!
