Nothing much to say today.

Yesterday TC did a post on buying a drill. 

Robert's latest post is about St. Patrick.

Riveting stuff?

NO.

Saint Patrick walked into a hardware shop.


"Hey, we don't get many people dressed like that!" said the guy behind the counter.
"I'm not surprised." said St. Patrick. "It's a rather dull little shop."
"So, what can I do you for?" asked the man behind the counter.
"I'm after an electric drill." said St. Patrick.
"Okay, they're on the shelf over there, and please call me Paddy." said the man behind the counter.
"Hey, that's my name too." said St. Patrick. "This could get a bit confusing."
"What sort of drill are you after?"
"A plug in one. I'm tired of battery drills, they won't cut through metal."
"So, what are you trying to drill that is made of metal?"
"It's just an example of something that might be hard to drill into. How much are your drills?"
"That all depends on which one you choose Paddy. The better ones cost more and the cheap ones... well, they're cheap ones."
"Well Paddy, I read on a blog that a guy got a drill for twenty dollars. Do you have those ones?"
"Look Paddy, I don't know which blog you're talking about. The only blog I read is by a bass player. His name's Richard. A bloody good blog!"
"Do you know your fly's undone?"
"Hold on, I've got my banjo out the back. You hum it and I'll try to play along."
[a little later]
"Hey Paddy! We don't sound too bad together! We should start an Irish band!"
"Which one of us said that?"
"We could call ourselves The Paddy Wagon."

Is this how Irish bands really get together? Let's sing!

Got up early, went to a shop to buy a bun.
Do you know your fly's undone?
After all the rain it was good to see the sun.
Do you know your fly's undone?


The Paddy Wagon. That's Paddy with the banjo
and Paddy holding the fiddle.

No, what don't you understand about a drill?

It's just as well that I write posts to keep you informed seeing that there's so much you don't understand.

Even less to say today I notice.

"I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly"
