He repeatedly spoke of “achieving the ultimate”. The ultimate what we still don’t know…

After accusing some of his accuaintances (i know i can’t spell it) of being ignorant of any sport other than GAA and any place outside of their home village, he proceded to declare that Kilbrin is the centre of the universe and only an hour’s drive from everywhere of importance. He then emphatically stated that the Duhallow hurling final of 2009 will be more important than the London Olympics of 2012.

At the dinner table my mother thought it would be an appropriate time to tell me not to bring Diarmuid over next weekend (they’ll be in spain) because my gran-aunt will be staying at the house and so she said she’d better warn me “just in case i’d planned on having an orgy.” ….thanks for the heads up, mom!
