Photo casebooks break new ground
2008-04-25 19:43:00 I saw this in the paper this morning. It seems the era of sexual phonetics has finally dawned in the world of tabloid problem pages. Either that or they really have given up all pretence of pretending to be about problems. Made me laugh anyway. Blogging this from my phone in liverpool by the way, I'm on stag. More anon.

Always cook your burgers on the George
2008-04-25 11:04:00 I had burgers for my tea last night. I made them myself using a top secret McDanger family recipe that I shouldn't share for fear of excommunication from the clan, but I love you all, so here it is: Get a lot of mince, squeeze handfuls into burger shapes and fry them. Then eat them. My ma used to swear by that recipe. As in, literally - she'd stand by the mixing bowl going "fuckin' ravenous More About: George , Cook , Burgers
I want to kill the Galway Girl
2008-04-23 14:35:00 Every time I have to listen to this fucking song it makes my ears melt. My toes curl up like sweet wrappers in a fire and I lock myself in a dark wardrobe and hurl myself against the walls shouting 'La la la la la I can't hear you' until it goes away. This skippy-shitty-ditty is stealthily trying to take over the world and turn us all into some sort of gormless cider-loving yokels banging around More About: Girl , Kill , Galway
Plus ca change
2008-04-18 16:03:00 I was watching the television there the other day and I was struck by something. I think it was a projectile midget fired at me from a nearby circus, but I can't be certain. In any event, said missile didn't distract me from a fundamental realisation concerning the state of man. It seems that after thousands of years of evolution, and massive strides in the realms of medicine, technology and More About: Change
This made me laugh out loud

Farmer beer chic
2008-04-14 16:09:00 Well it seems I've finally done it. After almost a decade ploughing my lonely furrow for Smithwicks, the downtrodden ruddy ale has finally caught on again. Smithwicks chic is here. It's rustic, it's red, it's retro, it's alot of rice things beginning with R and best of all it's tastes rabsolutely rovely. Sure everybody's drinking it now. Well, maybe not everybody per se, but at least four More About: Beer , Farmer
Exciting life continues apace, more drama planned
2008-04-10 14:13:00 Yes indeed folks, my days off are continuing at breakneck pace. It's quite interesting sitting here alone with my brain and observing myself. I'm not bad company I have to say, I belched there a few minutes ago and had myself in stitches with an impression of Billy Connolly, but am otherwise holding my own attention in the following fashion: I read a story on the wild wide internuts about a More About: Life , Drama
Days off and downtime
2008-04-08 15:17:00 I know I've just been giving out about having to work so much recently but now that I'm at home on time off I'm wondering which is worse. I've been glued to the History Channel as usual, so by now have seen the same programmes three times and am fully up to 3Xspeed on Mummy Forensics and everything I didn't really want to know about F15 and Raptor fighter jets, vector, thrust and the Lockheed More About: Days
Back broke, leisure earned, thank you
2008-04-04 13:59:00 It was the Beatles that aptly sang the line about a man having to break his back to earn his day of leisure and after my recent run of one day off work since Easter (1982), I can identify fully. They were also kind enough to write "I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink, I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink," and "It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog."

I'm off to sunny Cavan
2008-03-21 14:26:00 As the old joke goes: First prize in tonight's draw is a week's holiday in Cavan. Second prize? Two weeks' holiday in Cavan. Pah, slag us off if you like, I'm off to sunny Breffniland for the weekend and I'm looking forward to it. I haven't darkened the border of my home county since Christmas, and me and the old sod have some catching up to do. By old sod I mean my place of birth and not my More About: Sunny
A few more of my favourite things
2008-03-13 12:19:00 Right, I think it's high time I rattled off a few more items for my occasional series about things that I like. Another anti-rant is long due. I actually quite like doing this because it's more difficult to write about things that you like. Well it is when you're me anyway. Anyway, I feel very chipper and dandy today.

Ye olde meme
2008-03-09 23:31:00 I'm terrible slow sometimes. It seems Grandfather McHeadrambles tagged me some time back in 1798, probably on just about the only day that I didn't happen to read his blog. I think I was going through one of my shit-the-boss-keeps-looking-over phases at work or something. So I completely missed it altogether and only found it there now because I tripped across it on my technorati profile that, More About: Meme
I'm gone all technical
2008-03-08 00:06:00 It only took me about four hours and alot of screaming, roaring and hissing obscenties, but I finally managed to register my own domain name and get my blog working. So, http://www.terencemcdanger.com is now alive and kicking.

It's an ill wind...
2008-03-06 16:28:00 Aha! I know now why I was sick. It turns out that, far from being on the threshold of my eternal reward as feared, all I needed was a simple, honest-to-goodness fart to set me right. Several farts in fact. So for two days solidly, I've been farting. And yea, I hath saw that it was good and believed stoutly in my oaken heart. And lo, on the third day, I doth return to work, and with apologies to More About: Wind
Sick
2008-03-04 15:42:00 I think I'm a bit ill today. I'm off me grub, which is definitely an ominous portent, in much the same way as you'd be concerned about your dog if you offered him a steak dinner treat and he fussily turned away and starting licking his groin instead. I've got no jokes either. I tried one there above about the dog and his dinner, in an effort to underline how fundamentally in love with food I am More About: Sick
Un-predictive texts
2008-02-28 12:43:00 In a week of fortune telling in general, I now want to move on to the loosely related but only for semi-interesting opening line purposes, subject of predictive text on mobile phones. You will all know, as fervent readers and hangers on my every utterance, that I like to style myself as a defender of the faith when it comes to punctuation and spelling in general.

2008-02-26 20:17:00 It's an eventful half-hour in which you find out that you're going to be getting married in 2009, will later have two kids (a boy and a child), will move house in the next six months and get a dog, be offered a new job in May, have a book published (but not a novel.

Vera Duckegg - an appreciation
2008-02-21 12:41:00 I should have written this weeks ago, but just like Legoland the Elf felt when Gandalf Mithrandir Stormcrow the Grey-White was swallowed up by Moria's fiery hole, the grief was just too near for me.

I'm a handbag racist
2008-02-19 13:31:00 I tumbled to the above conclusion in Argos yesterday. I'm a racist. It's like this. You know how when you're a bloke, right, which I don't expect female readers do, but bear with me, and even though you have a lovely Miaow Cow girlfriend and you love her and wouldn't be unfaithful and all that, you still like to play hypothetical what-if flirtation type games with opposite members of the female More About: Racist , Handbag
Wokka wokka
2008-02-14 13:18:00 I bought a new wok a fortnight ago and as my great-grandmother was often heard to remark, it's the fucking bomb altogether. Myself and woks have, thus far, had an uneasy relationship you see. And let's be honest, if I burned your arse off at least twice a week and hadn't the decency to wipe you down afterwards, the sight of me coming through the door holding the pack of rashers would at least
Hello again
2008-02-12 15:33:00 Hold the front page! I can now reveal that the blogosphere is flat. I know this because I travelled to the edge about three weeks ago, looked over it, fell off and haven't been seen or heard from since. Those poor cats have been getting interrupted for way too long. My umbilical sundering from the world of blog was sudden, it was total, it was awful. It's cold and lonesome out here in the
Cats, interrupted.
2008-01-23 12:32:00 Thanks to Rosie and her feline frippery, today I'm reliving one of my furriest college sex adventures. Now that I have you sitting uncomfortably, I'll begin. I was renting a box room in Drumcondra in my second year at third level. It was a compressed, functional existence. I had a bed, a window, a wardrobe, a radiator, a special place for dirty socks that other people call 'the floor', while in More About: Cats
Things I don't see any more...
2008-01-21 14:11:00 I'm not feeling myself today. Which is just as well says you, you'd hardly like to look at a thing like that. Instead, I'm actually feeling nostalgic for no particular reason and have been thinking about stuff I used to see about the place quite a bit and now don't see so much any more. I have a bit of a yearning for the old times, a touch of a hankering, you know, for stuff like doggy poo and More About: Things
My greatest hit
2008-01-16 00:23:00 I was tickled pink after seeing this at Grandad's. No, literally. Grandad's been playing about with some mental new spyware over there, so I'd barely settled in front of the laptop before twenty miniature, multi-legged versions of his beard hopped out of the screen, ran up my sleeves and tickled me half demented. They were like them weird yokes off Minority Report. It was all very strange. More About: Greatest
How did you get here?
2008-01-14 13:55:00 You, my dear readers are all a bunch of mentlers, that's all I can say. With the obvious exceptions. I've been writing regularly on this blog for about four months now and some of the search engine terms that people use to find their way here would make a nun blush. I've just realised now too that some time in the future, some loony is going to search for a 'mentler blushing nun' and he'll find
Let's all laugh at Ronnie
2008-01-10 16:01:00 For no particular reason, today I've been thinking a lot about one of my heroes, comedian and actor Ronnie Barker. Anyone alive and watching TV in the 80s or before will remember Barker, the taller half of the Two Ronnies duo, who of course starred in the long-running comedy show of the same name with namesake Corbett, and also in standout British sitcom classics like Open All Hours, where he More About: Laugh
