What’s hot
The weather
Well it’s not exactly hot, but at least it’s not so cold that your nipples want to escape back inside your body to where your balls have gone too. It won’t be long before the lady folk start wearing shoes without socks, and call us old fashioned, but that’s just fantastic. And barbecues are just tops. Choons on the choon machine, cold beers and tons of man meat to chew on. No, wait…

Mannequins
Those minxy little plastic ladies whose eyes follow you around the lingerie department. It doesn’t matter that we’re in the lingerie department without a woman in our life to speak of, those perma-erect nippled beauties don’t judge us like the security guards do. Plus we saw a documentary once about a mannequin that came to life. The only draw back was that it looked like the slapper off Sex and the City.
Dogs
Dogs are great. They’re so loyal that they’ll die with you when you keel over in the kitchen and the neighbours don’t bother to investigate the smell. They get so excited when you come in and they bark when they see the postman coming up the driveway. Plus they chat up bitches by sniffing the holes off them, and they invented doggy style. They are the dog’s bollox.
Ice cream vans
Nothing brings out our inner child like the tinkle of the ice cream van chime. For a minute we’re so regressed that we run around trying to find mammy so that we can get 50p for a 99. Remember screwballs? Remember ice cream boats? That multicoloured E numbered syrup? The excitement and adrenaline of having to get to the van before he drove off leaving you at the kerb ice creamless and with a quivering lip.
The new Reebok ad
They probably work about as well as the manly “pumps” we bought from those nice people on the internet who still use our credit card occasionally, but they do make a good point. Behold.
What’s not
The weather
Yeah sure, it’s getting better but it won’t be long before the gobshites start wearing their rip off Ray Bans while hanging their arm out of their Fiestas with the Backstreet Boys blaring out of their speakers. Plus just because we get 17 minutes of sunshine a year doesn’t mean that we have to waste a perfectly good piece of steak on a barbecue by charring the b’jaysus out of it so much that even your dog wouldn’t touch it.
Burger vans
If we wanted to give ourselves dysentery then we’d go and lick the bars in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo. It might taste a bit better, and people wouldn’t judge us as much either. Plus we wouldn’t be charged money for it. Ok, so you have to pay to get into the zoo, but licking the bars is free. Bargain.
Traffic wardens/clampers
Gingers have more soul and friends than these people. Plus if you had a line up of traffic wardens and clampers and gingers in front of a woman, she might at least hesitate spitting on the ginger before the rest of them. We once saw a ginger clamper and it just baffled us why he hadn’t topped himself yet. True story.
Phone sex
Phone sex lines in Ireland just don’t do it. The ads make it look like you’ll be talking to a hottie in some underwear or nothing but a light white sheet draped over her lady bits. Wrong, what you’ll get is a surly housewife who just wants to talk to you long enough so that she can pay for her next batch of eclairs. Plus our phone bill now resembles what we reckon a handjob off of Jessica Alba might cost. You don’t need to tell us which one we’d prefer to spend the money on.
