Thinking about Big Bertha, the world's oldest cow from County Kerry, who died just before her 49th birthday after calving 39 times over her life (another record) - she also raised thousands for charity, lead the St. Patrick's parade in Sneem, and had her birthday and wake in a local pub

Blessed are the Meek
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

I hear a lot of people say: Trump is escalating. I don't know if that's quite le mot juste. Trump is *spiralling*. There's quite a big difference.
The lack of any discussion around the 25th Amendment is astounding.

Pia Zadora once appeared in a theatrical production of The Diary of Anne Frank as the title character and her performance was so disliked that, when the Nazis came on stage, an audience member shouted, "She's in the attic!"

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.
"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

![[Scene is a DRINKS PARTY with various monstrous horror characters - proper grown-up, modern horror film type nightmare things - and they are standing around chatting. A little GREEN BLOB MONSTER called Dan is being introduced to the other monsters].
1
MONSTER 1 [introducing the little blob to the other monsters]:
Everybody, this is Dan
GROUP OF THREE MONSTERS:
Hi Dan!
2
MONSTER 2:
Pleased to meet you Dan, I’m Peter
3
MONSTER 3:
I’m Mary
MONSTER 4:
I’m Sean
4
MONSTER 1:
Peter is an extended metaphor for bereavement
5
MONSTER 1:
Mary is a manifestation of intergenerational trauma
6
MONSTER 1:
And Sean is a body-horror chimera expressing the cannibalistic dynamics of late-stage capitalism.
7
MONSTER 4:
And what do you, Dan?
8
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a green blob that lives in the toilet and bites you on the arse.
9
MONSTER 3:
Gosh…
So is that like a metaphor for… society… or…?
BLOB MONSTER:
No.
10
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a basic, old fashioned, meaningless horror movie monster. I’m a green blob in your toilet. I bite you on the arse.
11
[They all look disgusted]
12
[As the other monsters look awkward and drift away, Blob monster thinks]:
I hate parties

Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic
With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it
Nurse:
Ministers, Spads, Researchers…

Nurse:
Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely
[Nurse on phone taking a call]
Ok - we’ll be right over
5
Nurse:
We just have a gentle chat
[Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster
Minister:
I understand your concerns…
6
Nurse:
Are you OK love?
Minister:
Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters
7
Nurse:
That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian
[Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters]
Nurse 2:
Give us your phone, love
8
Nurse:
At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to
[We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.]

Minister:
YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR
[woman looks baffled]
10
woman:
I just want a bus service
Minister:
LOOK AT MY FLAG

When someone sits next to me at the train station, bus stop, or park bench, I just stare straight ahead and say "it's done. Did you bring the money?" They usually freeze before apologising and making an excuse to leave.
