Howaryiz! I was down at the Ogra conference in Termonfeckin earlier today (long story) and they were all slaggin' me off about liking the feckin' Bee Gees. One of me neighbours must have ratted on me. I reckon I know who it is too.

So to show yis all that I'm no slouch when it comes to being with it, I'm going to the blogs! Ha ha. I'm tellin' ya, there's more than one writer in dis family!

The tech lads in the Dail made a right fuss about it. One of them asked me if I wanted RSS but I told him I never sit too long at the computer.

Anyways, welcome to Bertie's Blog!

Still at work. The lads are making arrangements for the Pope's inauguration. Hope it's not an overnighter. Jez I'm not fond of the Italian grub.

I'll be doin' me best to get himself to visit here. September would be smashin'. Maybe he'd throw in the ball at the All Ireland final? Then again there's probably more chance of the Pope being there than the Dubs!

Up really early this mornin'. Feckin' washing machine went on the blink last night and I put me shirts in the sink to soak. Bloody thing overflowed.

What a mess, uisce all over the gaff. Good to know the Sunday papers are useful for something. Ha Ha.

Worst of all though, me cat Pusskas must have done a legger and there's no sign of him. Put his photo up on Flickr. Cool or what?

Finally back at the ranch. Took a gander in at Fagan's but didn't fancy it.

Bit of bad news. I was let down gettin' tickets to Bruce Springsteen. Checked iBay but the prices were Padraig. Anyone gis a dig out?

Haven't missed a Bruce gig here yet. The last one was jammy. Acoustic set, very hush hush. I went out to the jacks and security stopped us goin' back in until Bruce finished the song. The bouncer said we'd wake up the audience! Gas man.

So mail me with any spares for the REAL Boss. Ha ha.

Had a couple of swift ones in Fagan's. Quiet enough in there tonight which was good 'cos I was wrecked after a hard day.

Tony was on the blower with me for ages. Said he might start a blog himself. Got rid of him by talking about the oul HTML. Gas man.

Home and dry until Joe Higgins bent me ear for 20 minutes in the car park. Me being a Dub gets right up his hooter. Along with me being a socialist.

When I finally got home, I was Hank Marvin. Feckin' fridge was empty, 'cept for a couple of curled up Denny's rashers and a bit of manky white pudding. Copped on to meself though and rang in an order to Fusciardi's.

Ordered the oul one-and-one fresh cod and told them none of that cod portion carry-on.

Jez when I opened the door yer man had a big smile on him and handed over a feckin' huge parcel. They must have copped who I was and I got a stone of chips sittin' alongside Moby Dick. No way I could finish it.

It's at times like this I miss Pusskas, so I'm remindin' yis to keep your eyes peeled for the lad.

Opened a tinny and feel asleep during Oireachtas Report.

1 Sorry to hear about Pusskas Bertie. We have a cat at No 10 and I swear it talks to me sometimes. Love your blogger.
Posted by: TB on 20 April @ 7:03am
2 Cheers Anto. Now you mention it, there's a few scalded cats knockin' round the Dail! Ha ha.

Sorry I couldn't blog until now. Had a problem with me phone line. Am told the broadband is comin' but I'll believe it when I see it. Anyway went for a nice stroll around the Bots this avo.

If Pusskas doesn't come back, I'm thinking of doing a bit of gardening. Copped some lovely daisies but haven't a breeze what they are.

1 I think what you're looking for would be Chrysanthemum coronarium Posted by: G Daly on 23 April @ 10:23pm
2 No no, it's more than likely Echium plantagineum.

3 Ah jez lads would yis ever knock it off. I'll stick to the vegetables okay, and I don't mean the backbenchers in the Dail. Ha ha agus slan.
