Fiacre Banks @judyev You’re the sort of tourist we appreciate. The good tourist is one who treads lightly in a city then departs leaving no trace of themselves behind. Except their cash.

Look where you've gotten yourself. I have seen you in the media for a long time. You never impressed me as anything more than an arrogant blowhard. You think you are the smart one with 4 bankruptcies, couldn't keep casinos or...

I went shopping down town again this morning. I didn't really need to go in many shops today. I set off at about 10:45am, and I walked round the top path round Stowe Pool as usual. Then I went to the toilet by the Cathedral. I...

The plane I ought to have already boarded is not here in Manchester where I need it to be - it’s just arrived in Hamburg and there’s nothing I can do about it. I could shout, I could squeal, but the plane still has to get from...

Last night I dreamed myself to be hospitalised. I don’t know from which ailment I was suffering, but someone mentioned inguinal hernia so I went with that. The doctor told the nurse to give me an injection of chloromycetin which...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton backpack got thrown up - the gunge was all through the works of the zippers, and I brought the coat back but it stinks and I was embarrassed taking it on the plane. Back home an hour ago.

I tend to be an early riser, usually getting up around 5am or 530am, and rarely sleep in. I like to have the whole day ahead of me. It wasn't always this way for me. In my younger years I was a night owl, and long preferred second...

Fiacre Banks @porwest I scared 2 burglars one night when I went downstairs totally unclad to get a glass of water. We just stood and gawked at each other for what seemed like a very long time before they ran. Only when they were gone did I register that I was standing...

I am so cross - this afternoon a pigeon in Manchester jettisoned a great, mucky dollop of green, sticky poop onto my backpack as I wondered blissfully around Fletcher Moss Park. I can’t tell you how angry I am, and the stuff just...

Fiacre Banks @paigea Maybe the pigeon poop was punishment for masquerading as a choral lesbian. Nothing lucky about it.

There I sat in Belfast international Airport early this morning, disgusted and irritated. Only place I could get a seat and what passed for ‘coffee’ was in a disreputable chain of coffee shops - bilge, pure bilge. And here’s...

Fiacre Banks @noni1959 Pilots always seem to be trying to sound seductive when they make about wind speed etc. I’d rather they just shut up and keep their eye on the road ahead.

Far be it from me to mock the leader that another nation has elected to be their own, but I cannot resist a wry smile when I read that the leader of The US wants to join the British Commonwealth because he loves the King so much....

Fiacre Banks @judyev you would think like in most marriages his wife would stop him saying stupid things. Wives are great filters.

We were driving up to Donegal yesterday. On a clear stretch of road just short of Limivady I saw blue lights coming our way in a hurry. Rows of motorcycle outriders drew level with us and thrashed passed us with sirens blasting....
