More Mobiles Than Knackers

not illustrating knackers. yet.

Just back from a lovely evening out with Pat Phelan, Conor O’Neill, Damien Mulley, and himself in honour of Sean Bonner’s visit to the humble port of Cork. I had to drag myself out of my deathbed to get there, but I’m glad I went because everyone was well worth hanging out with.

  • Sean Bonner is exceedingly nice. He’s far nicer than I would have expected him to be had I any clue who he was before I met him, my previous experience with blog network kingpins being not so great.
  • Pat Phelan proved the exception to my rule that anyone who owns more mobiles than he has bollocks is by definition a pretentious twat. Also we’re the last two people in Cork who smoke, so I love him.
  • Conor O’Neill is adorable. I would be making plans to steal him away from his undoubtedly stupendous wife if he didn’t have 17 children under the age of six who need him. Bummer.

Damien was, of course, just there to add glamour, hair product and good looks to our evening.

One of the more amusing parts of the night: despite the fact that I was the only woman in the group, I was also the only one to notice the hilarity of the Yeats quote on the wall. At which point five cameras promptly popped out.

Not in the eye, please. Really.

Note to self: The fact I don’t have a blog category that covers actually leaving the house is probably not a good sign.

    So have you created the “wandering the streets” blog category yet?

    Not yet, Will. It’s such a rare thing that it would be like having a category for Haley’s Comet…
