O'Donoghue you Fianna Fail horror story.

A rose by any other name would be a ****ing eejit.

I'm sitting here eating raw bread and steinervortzels in a falling down house with no hot water, alone except for a neurotic budgie, two character driven dogs, and a parrot who absolutely refuses to pay rent and insists on augmenting his diet by ingesting the curtains and poohing on any of the few remaining armchairs which happen to be passing, while you... you edit your newspaper in palatial splendour surrounded by glittering sycophants, fawning politicos, toy boys and fear driven lackies, and you, you... you have the temerity to ask me for something.

Throw me a fricking bone.

Commission me to write something you horrendous gobshite. A man does not live on Fianna Fail propaganda crapweasal bollocksology petitions alone.

For ****'s sake.

YOU gobshite!

I was out a job as soon as Covid hit!!

No Ballymore Bugle.

No Kildare Post.

No local reporting for the Leinster Leader.

But I'm alive.

By the way I mean this reply in the same irreverent tone as your own. Hope you're safe and well.
