Brian, what a picture that conjures up. Kelly, Storey and Adams XV1 going round Ardoyne in the pope mobile, loud hailer at the ready.

Mackers, I think we can fear the worst about Marty, he has either converted to catholicism or sinn fein, which would be worst?

Sort of considered the possibility that he had run off with Robert, but then Marie would kind of get in the way.

Strange the pope has come on the scene and he has suddenly vanished?

AM 5:42 PM, September 05, 2010  

Maybe Bartley Bohan will find him

Fionnuala Perry 2:30 PM, September 06, 2010  

Mackers, somethings not right with Marty, well apart from the things already evident!
Albert said it is the internet bill again (non payment)
Personally I think it is because he did not get any special mention for his yearly membership of TPQ.
He seems to be very sensitive about that type of thing!
Maybe some type of cultural award would be fitting as I think the papal visit would be out of the question!

I,ve been up in ithe hills (is a Mickeyboy free zone,should also mention no dickey dodgers or priests crossed my path either luckey for them,)reading and thoroughly enjoying Richard Dawkins The God Delusion,I heard that woman Mary Bale was spotted dumping poor Lola the cat into a green bin on cctv,some people make me absolutely sick,everyone knows cats go into the brown bin!!!I hear Gary Glitter is on his way to Chile....apparently the news of 33 trapped minors was just to tempting to ignore....the French foreplay,Dinner ,wine ,sex........ Italian foreplay:Dinner,wine dancing sex!, Latino foreplay:Dinner ,wine dancing caressing sex!.....Irish foreplay......OI ..you awake!!7yr and 4yr old are upstairs in their bedroom" U know what?"says the 7yr old"I think its time we started swearing,when we go downstairs for breccie,I,ll swear first then you" "ok "says the 4yr old.Mum asks the 7 yr old what he wants for breakfast"I,ll have cocopops bitch"WHACK ..he flies outa his chair crying his eyes out.Mum looks at the 4 yr old and says sternly"and what do you want for breakfast?".."Idont know he blubbers,...but it wont be f##kin cocopops!"..that dead Mi6 agent found in a bag in his flat in London has been named as Brian Shepard,he is thought to have been stabbed and put into a hot bath first.police are treating it as a boil in the bag Shepard spy!...great to see our wee doggie back, Brian at his usual best and that branchie is standing in the piss great stuff.

Lol Nuala, the only reward I seek is to listen to your sweet dulcet tones, read the wise words from our peeers Mick , Anthony ,Tain,Mary Hedgehog,Helen and the rest slegg our Robert, and try to figure out what the feck Mickeyboy is on,and share a hairy bluemoulded Mars bar with Albert

Robert 7:54 PM, September 06, 2010  

Fionnuala,

"Sort of considered the possibility that he had run off with Robert.."

That indeed would be the,'Love that dare not speak its name'.

AM 8:08 PM, September 06, 2010  

Robert,

good to see you back. I think I have to own up for spreading the rumour that you had eloped with Marty!!

Fionnuala Perry 8:19 PM, September 06, 2010  

Marty, what colour of a bin would you put dead frogs in?

We only have two colours of bins, no brown. I think you have to go to the more exclusive side of the city to indulge in an array of coloured bins!
The Wellington Park always had quite a variety, good spot to go for an ol karoke! For those who have a few quid that is.

Robert 8:35 PM, September 06, 2010  

Anthony,

Good to be back, thank you.

No hard feelings on your doing a 'Guido Fawkes' on me reference having eloped with Marty. A bit of a William Hague moment.

marty 8:54 PM, September 06, 2010  

Frogs in a bin! Gawd almighty Nuala tell that to a French man!,The South Korean goverment have expressed deep disgust in regards to the actions of cat womam Mary Bale.....that was a perfectly good meal she binned!!!Ahem Robert a cara this love that dare not speak its name,well dont knock it untill youve tried it, but unlike Oscar I bat with the other team and I dont think the boys down the auld lodge would be to happy with you getting spliced to one from the other side and in the Cherry room to boot.!!!

marty 9:02 PM, September 06, 2010  

Breaking news !!!...Mickeyboy kills wife with a desert dish!!!>>>> f''k He,s not to be trifled with!

Fionnuala Perry 10:08 PM, September 06, 2010  

Marty, are you refusing to address the 'dead frog' subject?

Heard you were up showing the sun tan off in the Welly Boot!

michaelhenry 10:15 PM, September 06, 2010  

marty-

my better half says it was bad enough the time i spend with books
now im also on the computer,
seen the brit army has ran from the
IRAq desert, our great news kept that quiet, just afganistan left for them to get the boot from,
unless i have missed somewhere?.

Robert 10:46 PM, September 06, 2010  

Marty,

The boys down the 'auld lodge' are a pretty liberal lot!
I think your attempt to entice Michael from the undergrowth have failed for tonight at least. The mere mention of dissidents appears to get his 'creative juices' flowing, you might like to test my theory?

Robert 11:04 PM, September 06, 2010  

MichaelHenry,

"..just afganistan left for them to get the boot from,
unless i have missed somewhere?"

Yeah, pull the curtains and look out your window! Should have went to specsavers!

marty 11:19 PM, September 06, 2010  

LOL Nuala what happens in the Wellie stay in the Wellie,what I do with wellies is another matter,dead frogs mmmm just like chicken,Mickeyboy have ya tried opening any of those books? Robert I hear some wee woman out the Antrim line got to meet some really liberal people was it last week,I hear she got a liberal pasting.

marty 9:40 AM, September 07, 2010  

Nuala! I,m with ya now re that wee frog, I see you have been chatting to loose lips Francis again, thon wee fella sure had the same expression on his coupon as Bartley just before the wheels rearranged his features and before he croaked it.no need for a bin hon the crows gotta eat to.

michaelhenry 12:34 PM, September 07, 2010  

the good robert-

glad that you know that the brit army got the boot from IRAq, all those deaths and just a white flag to show for it,
do you live in afganistan because
there is no armed brit army on patrol in IRELAND anymore, one minute they were here and the next they were gone, and will be forgotten.

Robert 7:58 PM, September 07, 2010  

MichaelHenry,

I note, in your estimation, I am not only bold but now good.

Post conflict you appear to reside in a seemingly violent world. A myriad of features within that world either get the boot or get a whack. A Hallucinogenic place where reality becomes the surreal. An oaf on oaths and peoples parliaments. Confusion over the rationalisation of the British Army and a resounding IRA victory.

"do you live in afganistan"

No I am a British citizen residing in British N.Ireland. Where do you live MichaelHenry - let me guess -'Sinn Feinistan'. I think the percolator has finished - I love the smell of coffee.

AM 8:15 PM, September 07, 2010  

Your fault Nuala. You enticed him back!!

marty 8:42 PM, September 07, 2010  

A bloke was at my door a wee while ago,looking for adonation for a local swimming pool,.....I gave him a glass of water....!!What!

AM 8:51 PM, September 07, 2010  

Robert,

you don't think Hague innocent?

Robert 9:34 PM, September 07, 2010  

Anthony,

Without doubt. Such are the issues of power, ambition and the intrigue of Westminster.

marty 10:34 PM, September 07, 2010  

And here,s me thinking it was just brown envelopes!

Robert 11:56 PM, September 07, 2010  

Marty,

It could be said that Westminster is not unique in that regard. 'Brown Envelopes' grease the wheels of all political systems.

Tain Bo 3:50 AM, September 08, 2010  

Marty
I think the wee doggy needs a name as we give more esteem to Mickey the liberator.


Fionnuala

I think you are right either Michael drinks then posts we should all down a few bottles before trying to enter into the abyss of Michael’s world.

marty 11:57 AM, September 08, 2010  

Tain Bo yip I agree I think the Quill should have a wee competition,Name Brians wee doggie,what do you say Anthony?I,d call it Rascal.I,ve a few bottles of plum poteen here and even with a skinfull of that rocket fuel in me,I cant get on to Mickeyboys planet.

‘Without doubt. Such are the issues of power, ambition and the intrigue
of Westminster.’

True but I am far from convinced of his involvement.

Fionnuala Perry 8:15 PM, September 12, 2010  

Mackers, has Marty said something ontoward?

Is he in trouble with the TPQ?

Tain BO, michaelhenry's posts are much clearer after a few glasses of wine.

AM 8:18 PM, September 12, 2010  

Nuala,

no one is ever in trouble with TPQ for what they say. Whether that is a cause for regret is a moot point! He is having a problem with an error that many on Blogger are complaining about.

Fionnuala Perry 8:39 PM, September 12, 2010  

Mackers, have you noticed the Catholics are getting through without a problem!

AM 8:45 PM, September 12, 2010  

Slippery characters, those Catholics

marty 6:53 PM, September 13, 2010  

Slippery Anthony !those kaflicks could walk under a snakes belly wearing a top hat!
