We could do wit some linky jinx in Rosses point, some real stuff, not out of a mills and boon, and Zara if at first you don't succeed writing your piece for the erotic review here, just remove all eividence you even tried! In Ferret Express we live by our word and if you treat the people around you wit love and respect, they will never guess you are trying to get them sacked.

Message: Hey ya all, I had to change me email as yon eejits in MI5 and the CIA were taping me email calls. What's the world coming to when an honest Taoiseach like me cannot go about me business in pace and quiet. Even Coffee is complaining about spies in the bathroom! Anyway, as the fella said to the lass that's not what I'm hear to discuss. Look Dubya is coming -no, no he hasn't done that for yonks only yanks thes days or so he says- to visit us in June and dat's just before the ould local outings if ye get me drift. Now I want yez all to give him a wave and a smile and hould up the stars and stripes, because we need the yanqui dollar and fast and lots of them. Don't foget vote early and often in June. Just keep yer finger on the button and we will get more votes than there are voters and the computer cannot lie!

Message: Oh dearie me, whatever can it be, my pm's caught at it once again, ne'er shall we be united nations once again if this tapping continues. Makes one wonder if one's own tellleephonic deevices have been tapped. Phil the Greek is always complaining of clicking sounds on his tellleephone and the Corgis yap and shriek whenever I am talking on mine! Makes one wonder if ones dogs know more than oneself sometimes. Will it cost Bertie or the Irish taxpayer one million Euros to buy a pint of Coke and a serving of fake bacon and cabbage for Dubya? I'm still smarting over the million pound lunch in Call Me Tony's electorate for Dubya. I might add we now have two, all hat and no cattle, leaders. All is forgiven Saddam!

Message: Tom steps in and gives a dance then he steps out and Pee steps in and undoes the dance then Lord Lucan casts aspersions left right and centre and mocks Tom's Sligo accent then Bertie sans anorak, Celia and herself says "bring it on" while the pee runs down his legs. Shakespeare wrote, "All the world's a stage" Boy oh boy, he hasn't seen the Dail and Fianna Fail or Teac Ban and Dubya and his puppeeteers or Italy, France etc etc etc. Yeats wrote of the greasy fumblers in the till when he wanted an art gallery for Dublin. He should have lived until the roaring 80's and Charlie would have created it with some one elses funding. Oh to think of all who lived in poverty while the boys at Mahon lived it high!! The ides of March were a dangerous time for poor ol' Caesar will they prove to be so for the soldiers of destiny in June or will the nation arise and follow Bertie to the pub in Drumcondra?

Message: At the outset of the various Dublin open confessionals, it was often a thought, "How come Sunny Ray of Alcanatara does not get a mention?" Some said, "Maybe he is the cutest hoor of them all in fianna fail?" T'would appear it pays to be a Pioneeer and see things crystal clear instead of through a glass of Irish Mist as his carpet-bagging colleagues saw things. So Sunny Ray of Alcantara emigrated to Brussels to farm sprouts and now enjoys in his retirement his round of golf at Rosses twice a week. Alas, as his friend Padraic from Drumcliffe is no longer is in the tyre business, he does not buy recaps anymore for the Merc like he did for the Audi.

Message: Was Virgina the mother of all De Vaney's? I knew a Virgina once, who was known as Virgin for short but nor for long! de Vaney sounds more like a Spanish name than Devaney which has its origins in de van (driver) and not de fanny metaphorically speaking if ye get me drift. Yer man MacLysaght says Devaney is a Donegal/Connacht name and springs from O Duibheannaigh - dubh = black and name of place of origin. One wonders how many Devaneys would claim to be kin of Sox and Sanko from de bullring?

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses. Rarely is the question asked is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few? How many hands have I shaked? They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being And the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, Where our wings take dream. Put food on your family!

Men shouting at one another as if they were deaf. Sunny Ray of Alcantara held his head up straight and yer man Leonard said he took Tom be the hand to meet him on Pearse Road. Somewhere in there is a little bit of truth and forgetfullness. Where else would Redmond have a day out from the Joy every day. Shorten the ould sentence I suppose.
