http://old-blodger.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-hoff-hof.html
The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Friday, February 5, 2010. Is The Hoff a Hof? The Brunette said to me as she came in from work yesterday evening, ". I was a little discombobulated by this. I thought she'd said that I was 'The Hoff', a nonsensical notion as my 1999 Land Rover Discovery has never, to date, spoken a word to me and I am yet to be hailed as a schlagersänger in Germany.or anywhere else for that matter (though I'm still working on it). What about The Hoff though?

The Man Who Fell to Earth: Politicians are the Same All Over. They Promise to Build a Bridge Where There is No River.

The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Saturday, December 12, 2009. Politicians are the Same All Over. They Promise to Build a Bridge Where There is No River. Enough of the trivial fluff, let's get on to some meaty chunks. Politics it is then. I moved to Ireland over ten years ago and although there is much to love and admire about the country and its people it does have its perplexing side as well. Only yesterday Newstalk played an unexpurgated clip of Green Party backbencher Pau...

The Man Who Fell to Earth: And Age Shall Not Weary Him...

The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. And Age Shall Not Weary Him. It's my birthday. I'm fifty-blah today. I knew it was coming around again but I'd sort of forgotten. Any spring chicken stripling reading this probably won't understand it, but as I get older my birthdays become less and less important. Only the ones with a zero at the end seem to be worth acknowledging these days. Be careful what you wish for'. Dunno, to pick up your pension. Then again...

The Man Who Fell to Earth: Lost in Space
http://old-blodger.blogspot.com/2010/01/lost-in-space.html
The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Sunday, January 17, 2010. So, it's been a while since my last post. Why, Old Blodger, why? I hear you scream in dismay. Imagine how glad I am now that the ice has gone, the water's back, I can use the Interweb in our Galway gaff and I can speak again. As already mentioned, my p.c. crashed and burned with a catastrophic hardware meltdown. My laptop did very much the same thing. Ditto my external hard drive. The tv. aerial died. FM radio recept...

The Man Who Fell to Earth: What's the Point of Sundays Without The Sunday Times?

The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Sunday, January 31, 2010. What's the Point of Sundays Without The Sunday Times? Is there anything more glorious in this gloriously bonkers world than waking up on a Sunday morning (preferably without the aid of an alarm clock), propping yourself up in bed with a pair of plumpy pillows and tucking into a plateful of hot, buttered toast, washed down with a huge mug of coffee whilst poring over the umpteen sections that make up The Sunday Times?

The Man Who Fell to Earth: Stieg Larsson - 20,000,000 People Can't Be Wrong - Can They?
http://old-blodger.blogspot.com/2010/01/stieg-larsson-20000000-people-cant-be.html
The Man Who Fell to Earth. Random Musings of a Grumpy Old Man. Saturday, January 30, 2010. Stieg Larsson - 20,000,000 People Can't Be Wrong - Can They? I'm aware that I run the risk of committing literary heresy, and it's early days yet, but I have to say that my dip into Stieg Larsson's ouevre has thus far been somewhat underwhelming. The mere act of typing that sentence makes me feel as though I'm stamping on the head of a beloved family pet, but there you go. Then I started on the meat of the novel...
