Bloody late this morning aren't we?

Why is it that in England, we make a huge fuss over St Patrick's Day and not much at all over our own Saint's day - grrrr.

Sounds like somebody, got out on the wrong side of the bed today?



You forgot to mention Bloody England Cricket Team, Bloody Comic Relief, Bloody Mothers day, and Bloody Sundays.

Yes but what can you do?

Bloody moaners moaning about Paddy's Day.

(Isn't there an HTML tag you can put in to deter Google Images searches?)

You wouldn't be human if you didn't moan occasionally - and saving it all up for one post is very helpful, we can expect to see cheerful geezer back tomorrow.

Want some of my 'happy tabs' DG?



Ah, but a mench in the today's Guide in the Grauniad might make you feel a little less bloody...

Aha, yes, a little mention on page 31...

DG, it makes sense to hold the Paddy's Day parade a day late, as traffic wont be as congested as on a Saturday.

Perhaps we could ask the Pope to move St Patrick's Day to the third Sunday in March, just so that London's road users aren't unduly inconvenienced.

In case you do decide to buy a cheap folding crate from Tesco to carry stuff instead of all those bags -don't! Reading your blog after coming in, all smug re.saving planet with above mentioned crate which collapsed as I came through door and instead of milk it was olive oil hence oil- slick alley all way to kitchen. Just be glad yours was milk !

Heya DG, I made the switch too. I went with that personalised sign-in screen where you can add an image.

So that everytime you login that image appears. Anyhow I remain logged in for a max of two weeks, there should be an option to tick on the sign-in page or look at the Yahoo preferences "My Yahoo".

Anyhoo back to reading journals for essays.

I like how you've used the word 'bloody' a lot. It's a great word. One of the best.

I use bloody all the time, but I want another word to use as an alternative. I am however convinced that one doesn't exist.

Any ideas?

Ps. Where exactly does the word, in this usage, derive from. If anyone's bound to know it's you, so I thought I'd ask.

Inspector, IIRC the tag you're thinking of is rel="nofollow" (originally created to decrease the value of comment spam). It's supposed to work with regular "<a href" tags, don't believe it will work with "img", though.

I agree with all your comments. Sometimes it's good to have a scream!

If there was an Olympic Moan event in 2012 I wouldn't paying.

'The sunburnt bloody stockman stood
And, in a dismal bloody mood,
Apostrophised his bloody cuddy:
"The bloody nag's no bloody good,
He couldn't earn his bloody food,
A regular bloody brumby."'

Opening lines of Bloody: the Great Australian Adjective by WT Goodge, 1899.

poor love.
not easy is it?

I have the same problem with Google and it's image search. It's annoying!

I think Bloody came from the middle ages, it was God's Blood or something, swearwords have changed over the years. They also used to say Zounds which apparently was short for God's wounds. Or something.

Actually DG, it is rocket science. But they should still be able to do it.

Great post. (You left out bloody Eastenders, bloody Tube, bloody Homerton Hospital & bloody Virgin Media.)

#4) Solution... canvas shopping bags. They last years and can be slung over one's shoulder to carry a heavy bagful on one's back. And you can sometimes get a discount for using them.

Saving the planet... one shopping bag at a time.

Timbo, some of us Catholics were told at an early age that 'bloody' is derived from 'by Our Lady' and is therefore blaspheming the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus etc. etc. It's probably rubbish, but it was enough to stop a young boy swearing.

See also 'Crikey' and Christ.

I sympathise with Thames Water. I have a meter, they know I have a meter, they can't read meter as they always turn up unannounced whilst I'm at work. Thus their estimate for the the last quarter was double what I'd used in the last year and they want to put my DD up. I regularly have to phone them to correct their sily figures.

i think that image search works fine for the user, i get taken to your site and then i click See "full-size image."

Yes Tim, except there's no need to be taken to my site because the image isn't there. Google should just display the image you're searching for and not waste my bandwidth.
