“Poundworld” isn’t a “pound shop”, it’s an adult superstore. That doesn’t mean Bob isn’t referring to manky toys though. Just a different kind of mankiness.

Thanks Bob. I wasn’t aware that “pound shops” still existed. I thought the Euro had swept all before it causing an avalanche of name changes.

Bock, Same to you and yours.

Simon, I presumed the baba had woken and (quite rightly) dragged you away. A Merry Christmas to yourself, your lovely wife (Embarr!) and you little fella.

Sorry I missed the end of the show. Quite taken with the revolting duck billed platy-pup.

Sorry Copernicus, was on a whistle stop tour of the UK when your last text arrived so never got back to you. I’ll be in Dublin early in the new year on a visa hunt so will give you a holler. Have a splendid christmas and mind you don’t drink too much egg nog.

I see foolhardy has decided the time has come to retire his traditional yuletide gift – the steam off his piss.

And to think, he never replies to my texts.

Despite spending the entire day in my jim jams I still managed to miss the show. Unemployment clearly suits me. I have a ball of oozy goo on order via the hinthurnet which I had planned to give to Copernicus for the season that’s in it. Perhaps a rethink is in order.

Gah! How perfect! A new Festivus tradition perhaps.

“The showing of the manky toys”

In all the fuss, it seems to have been forgotten that this event took place during Festivus.

Manky Toy show a huge success. Late Late version will be crushed by it before long.

Ta Fergal. One of my (modest) goals in life is to stomp into RTÉ at the helm of a giant robot “Navvy” and squash Pat Kenny underfoot – leaving behind only a “Puppy Squeezer” fluid type stain.

Not much to ask.

Although, one could argue that “Pacman” is actually Pacman’s surname. As in John Pacman, or Steve Pacman. The fact that we never learn his first name is neither here nor there.

If that was the case then couldn’t his wife legitimately take his surname but tag on the Ms. in a fit of defiance?

Perhaps not. It’d work if she was his sister though.

Answer me that, society!

Society thinks, frets, then hangs its head(s) in shame for want of an answer.

Nighttime: not only the right time to be with the one you love, but also a bankable actor. Manky Toy show a huge success. Late Late version will be crushed by it before long.
