I blame the not-so-Ireland-friendlies.

Yeah Chris, the Celtic Tiger, while not quite gone, is faultering, and the news constantly warns us of impending economic gloom. Lots of manufacturing jobs lost and the tax take is getting smaller. Still the country is plodding along, and there are jobs there. Personally I blame the mASS media, Serbianna and Mike Averko) How’s your Irish coming along? Socha Ni Cheide, my favourite bird is looking hotter than ever on tv.

Tim – WHAT a win for Wales! At half time the Irish pundits were quaking in their shoes about a resurgent England (they havent beaten us for five years). And then POW, Wales steamed into them!!)) In fairness Gatty is a good coach,got a hard time here though he’d no players. Our shower are heading into decline big time. How’s Vietnam?

Be careful, Sean. When I met up for coffee with Chris, he was clearly under the influence of parallel biases in the Eng. Lang. mASS media, and in the company of far too many Russia unfriendlies.

Oh Sean, I’m going to be in Southern California at the end of March (after an absence of 8 years — brrr!). Would be nice to have a coffee if you have the time.

Sean,

I may have spoke too soon. I just checked my lottery numbers and have won 25 euro) Would that do for your advance?))

Sean,
unless you win the EuroMillions (which someone did in Limerick, E116M) you’re unlikely to find much in Ireland bar credit-card debt, house repayment default, and rude Polish bar-staff(dressed like sluts, admittedly). The Celtic Tiger is gone, groan! The village itself is actually quite posh, though we’re not(another groan!)

Seriously though Sean, did you ever think about writing such a book? Maybe a comparative study like Komsomol vs Nashi and the subtexts to both. In fairness its a subject you love, are well versed in clearly and you’ve your academic standing behind you.

I note Averko’s ranting over at SL. I think we should open a book on how quick he’ll end up leaving there too. I give you 6/4 by july.

Millions. I fucking wish. I would take tens of thousands at this point. Averko seems to think that my favoritism toward Chrisius and the Irishman will eventually shower me with some kind of riches. Ger, is there a pot o’gold waiting for me in that village you’re currently holed up in?

Well Sean, looks like there’s riches ahead for you after all.
Maybe Mike can follow suit with his blockbuster ”The End of The Russia Unfriendlies” or the inspirational self help ”How I Beat The mASS Media”
