I better take another look at the draft
project plan and plug some gaps. We need to structure our office and
finalise a contract or two real fast if this little enterprise is
going to go anywhere at all. I'm re-mortgaged up to my jawbone.
Interest rates going up not down in the cycle. Need monster-munch.

Confirmed: Home-office furniture
arriving tomorrow. My very own desk and chair, 400 Easies all told,
lamp included, all brand new. Bit of a bargain, I'm glad to say.

The gentle tinking of erecting scaffold
pinks the beautiful morning.

PAT THE RADIO HAT: I might start
walking. I like my Hamster Bike scooter-with-a-roof. It takes me an
hour and a quarter to get from my mansion to the studio on the moto.
I can walk in an hour and a half.

When you get through to the dicky robot
voiceroonie at Eircom, the trick is, before he has a chance to smarm
and charm you, say "Agent!" Don't let up. Make them work
for it. Cause them as much misery as they do you. Scream it down the
line. AGENT! AGENNNT!

AD: We'll inject our special resin. A

News just in: Dublin's bridges are not
scattered with the living corpses of the homeless. They are the
"houseless". That's alright then.

She says sorry she's busy. Sounds like

from the airport. Talk later. Signs with an xxx. Awww.

TRUCKIE: There's no reason for
incourtesy - the reaction I'm gettin’ from you, a motorist. It's
not a motorway, it's a building site. It's not a fast lane, it's the
overtaking lane. The inside lane is the driving lane. Not one of them
is doing 60km/h.

TRUCKIE: Revenue is going down, tolls
are going up due to being forced out on the M50. Our industry is in
crisis. Today, we're blocking the road with a slow truck race around
Dublin. Everyone’s lives is being juggled around the Mickey Mouse
motorway. Time someone stood up and took on the issue. We aim to get
the tolls abolished for Heavy Goods Vehicless, Joe.
JOE RADIO: You already get through the
Port Tunnel free?
TRUCKIE: Exactly.
