friday again

An old Irish friend's coming in from out of town tonight, and there was a brief exchange of text messages this morning:

"Arrive Gare du Nord 7pm"

"Want to meet up in the same pub as last time, 7.30ish?"

"Great idea. See you in the Cork and Kerry, then"

"OK. Cork and Cavan, actually"

"Kerry, Cavan, same difference. Full of culchies"

I saw that the Guardian ran an article written by Sarah Palin this Wednesday. There are aleady over 1000 readers' responses, some of them quite amusing.

I'm having a chat to this chap who wrote to me earlier this week with a most interesting business proposition. He wants me to take delivery of 22.5 million US Dollars in cash, keep 30%, and give him the balance. Something to do with a dead refugee uncle's hidden loot, or something like that. I forget the details. I've just asked him if I can have the money delivered in coins, as they're untraceable (how much do 90 million quarters weigh?). More on this as events unfold.
