Friday

Hello all you happy people. Do I sound like Droopy? Dunno, but come along on tomorrows Gyp and you'll find out........................ Had a most pleasant day. Boss was out at a meeting all morning and a general de-mob happiness pervaded the office. Actually got through a fair bit of work, or at least it felt that way. The amount of crap i've had funneled my way in the past fortnight has been a source of constant amazement to me. It sort of beats the last lot of stuff I was doing in that it requires a little thought and awareness of the process i'm working in. I still haven't a clue about the half of it though..................Byzantine doesn't even begin to describe it. Anyway, I can tell you all nodded off halfway through that so i'll halt there and simply wish Partick Thistle all the best tomorrow in the Scottish Cup match with SPL side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. They'll need it. Bon Nuit!

Coming To A Tourist Attraction Near You

Hello As those of you who have been to Clairwil already know, a site has been set up to chronicle our hopefully numerous jaunts around the countryside of Scotland. It is called The Gyp and will serve as a combined photoblog and chronicle of whatever nonsense we happen to get up to. We also plan to take in more exotic locations in England, Ireland and mainland Europe. Go to the site, bookmark it and keep an eye on updates. You too could be joining us in our travels.

I've noticed that the cartoons of Mohammed printed in Jyllands Posten, a Danish newspaper are continuing to cause ructions. It would seem that Danes, and Swedes for that matter, are distinctly persona non grata with an increasing number of Islamic countries. The cartoons were generally crude, tabloid and unfunny. They also deliberately disrespected Islam in the sense that graphic depictions of the prophet are strictly forbidden. I would say it's immaterial what some bunch of non believers, in their own country, make of your religion, but Islam, certainly in the east, is something of a Universal religion and as such a blasphemy, no matter how frivolous is regarded with a degree of seriousness that we find difficult to fathom. Goodnight.

Sad News

For those who frequent Baruchitos Homecage, the little feller is no more. Looks like a combination of old age and flea infestation did for him. Och! The Mischief has a new Blog Of The Week poll. All nominees are top notch and worth a look. In the abscence of any rude or interesting Search Engine requests I shall simply link a couple of albums I bought recently that I think are rather special. Tortoise And Bonnie Prince Billy- The Brave And The Bold Cat Power- Speaking For Trees Goodnight.

A Day Spent Waking Up

It's late, I'm tired................These are the best bit's from todays wander in the west end.

Goodnight.

Don't Smoke 'em All At Once.

Theres a group of them hang out at the corner shop down the road from my house and go to the all girl catholic state school in the area. They're about fourteen, short, a bit ugly, voices like foghorns....they euphemistically ask me to 'go intae the shop' for them. One day I will. I'll come out with a Herald and a Mars bar. Anyway, being perpetually almost late for work, I usually say no. I also say no because i've no intention of getting embroiled in their clandestine activities. I do it once, they'll be hanging about waiting for me to get them again. Anyway, I got called an arsehole for my lack of charity this morning. I'm an arsehole? Who's hanging about in the biting wind and rain at 8.30 am, waiting for some plonker to buy them a pack of fags? I do sympathise. It's a pain in the arse not being able to buy yr own until you're sixteen, but they obviously haven't the brains to source their fags from a shop that'll sell them to them or to nick them off their parents. Goodnight.

Slow Day In Hell

Coming

Going

Little to report i'm afraid. I'm also tired and blogger is acting up. I'm holding back a small piece for 'A Mischief Of Magpies' until tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Search Engine Hit Parade

Far be it for me to pass judgement on what all you mentally ill fuckers type into Google or MSN, but I have decided some of these are too good to keep to myself and have decided to hold a weekly chart for the most outrageous query typed into a search engine, courtesy of my trusty tracker...................... In reverse order. At No3 it's that hardy perenial "Fuck+ Me" Not until you wash your mouth out with carbolic young man................ No2, it's the slightly saucier but no less romantic "Man+With+A+Hard+On" This week's No1 however is the truely majestic and probably never to be topped "Lost+Virginity+3+Way+Man+Filmed+Closet" I hope he or she found what it was they were looking for. I know I did....................... Gutte nacht mein Kinder.
