Did anyone watch his pub visit live on Sky yesterday afternoon? I couldn't work out if it was manufactured craic or the real thing with real regulars. It being Ireland I think it was indeed the real thing. Although even the oldest grizzled regular was wearing a new tie for the occasion. It was hilarious.

Obama in England


Beautifully summed up, as ever, by the mash.


"[Obama said] "In America we give crowns to beauty queens. Okay, so they are just dim-witted pawns in some decadent, capitalist sideshow, but at least they fucking earned it.


"Not like this old white woman, who tries to justify her ill-gotten luxury with words like 'heritage' and 'continuity' as if we are all just dumb-assed field slaves who don't know nothin' anyhow."


The President continued: "If you think you can wave this imperialist horseshit under my nose and I won't say anything, you must be out of your tiny, inbred minds.


"I am now going to France where they know what to do with people like you.""

      I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.

      First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .

      The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
