Blessed among bloggers blocked
A major Irish blogger, whose hilarious moniker your correspondent cannot speak for fear of reprisals from her corporate overlords, has been all but silenced by major Irish companies intent on selfishly having their employees actually earn their miserable wages during the course of their working days. Our unnamed hero, who despite the made-up nature of his name may not be named, recently learned that one or two of his readers cannot directly access his controversial website while at their places of work.
When informed of this fact by The Sentinel the pseudonym shriekingly responded: ‘Fuck, I am being fucking silenced! Yeah, I know they could read me in a fucking reader, or fuck forbid, at home, but people have fucking rights! The fucking right not to work! The fucking right to be outraged by the injustices of this sick world. Outrages such as the shooting down of an innocent raving lunatic, the murder of a rugby player but not of a plumber, and the terrible wonderfulness of a Jennifer Warnes gig. They also have the fucking right to feel they have addressed these injustices merely by leaving a thoughtfully sycophantic comment on my blog .’

An artist's impression of our brave blogger bending to his task
When pressed on who he thought might be responsible for this outrageous censorship, the figuratively masked maverick refused to be drawn, although he was heard to mutter something about a popular cigarette brand.
A source close to this century’s most courageous scribe was more forthcoming: ‘All signs point to a conspiracy of Zionists, Muslims and PC World cunts.’ he said, before covering his mouth with his hand and giggling guiltily. ‘We believe there are also devilish Dublin media elements at work. The hand of golfers is also to be seen. And a worldwide cabal of those who think that perhaps Limerick may not be the greatest place on Earth. And yeah, before you say it, we know that some companies block all Wordpress and Blogger sites, but that’s like, irrelevant, man. The Second Coming is being prevented from coming. This cannot be allowed to happen. We, His devoted followers, are taking steps. Soon His Message will be ejaculated all over the internet and only those that cannot be arsed doing their jobs to the full extent of their contracts will be saved.’
What form this final sticky Message will take was being kept under close wraps by both our source and Our Messiah, but rumours are rife that it will involve a stinging, obscenity strewn diatribe on the poor customer service that He recently experienced in His local Spar.

I went into work drunk last night.
I never, ever see me boss, but last night he turned up.
“Are you drunk?”, he asked.
“No, I don’t drink” I said.
“Oh, sorry” he said.
Proper order!
