Got a call on Saturday from my Da saying 'Your Shigsnix (he can never pronounce it) is in the Times'. Then I received two texts from other heads saying the same. Went down the shops, bought it, found the mention and dropped in on the floor with the rest of my crap.

Happy to be included in the Irish Times, seems like their 'whats hot and whats not' is widely read, everyone loves bullet point nugget sized stuff like that. It was only last night that I actually read what I've been lumped in with; Blossoming Magnolias, tax free shoes in New York, wild garlic pesto and Bono.

Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered and greatly appreciative of the shout out but I can't help feeling whatever approval I've earned or has been allocated is diminished by the fact that I'm nestled between wild garlic pesto and tax free shoes.

As for that Bono chap, jesus christ I hope this is the last list we share. Maybe I'd make an exception with the list of 'Annoying phoney Cunts who've had poles fed through their neck by bitter comic artists from Tallaght'

I wonder if I'll rank first in google for wild garlic pesto after mentioning wild garlic pesto several
times.
