Well, good! It's been 20 years (almost, come November) since Blair gave us "24-hour drinking," and foreign visitors are still commenting on how early everything closes over here. God forbid we should not allow this country to be run by the fun police!

A friend of mine once told me about this guy who was a king in Ancient Egypt.
I said: "Pharaoh 'nuff!"
They then went on to say that he'd visited these Danish islands in the North Atlantic.
Again, I said: "Faroe 'nuff!"

Happy #StPatricksDay to the people of Ireland (both Republic and Northern), and only to them. Not to all you Seppos out there who claim to be Irish because your great-great (times 10) grandmother came over to there from Galway in 1824.

Has anyone watched Man in the High Castle? If so, do you find it weird that nearly the entire world has become autistic and keeps gesturing, "My heart goes out to you" all the time? I mean, it's mind-boggling!

I wish people would learn to take "No" for an answer, instead of just continuing to ask me "Are you awake yet?"

Considering what happened lately, a CEO of a private healthcare company being shot to death, did we really need to be told which country it happened in? I think we could've guessed!
