Gingerfightback can reveal that legendary songsmith, drinker and toothless marvel Shane McGowan has joined the world famous Oirish Dance Show.

The show now known as Liverdance, will be an homage to the fabled Irishman’s drinking exploits and ability to muster even a syllable after three days on the creme de menthe.

His friend Paddy Magillicuddy-Reeks told Gfb, “Begorrah, shillelagh, bacon and cabbage, Guinness, famine, English Bastards! Top o’ the morn to ye all, Daniel O’Donnell, leprechauns up me crack!  – it’ll be grand so it will. Shaney’s in top form - his fleckel is a sight for sore eyes and he recently did the splits after a three year bender in Tip. Didn’t spill a drop neither. Legend.”

Saturday Nights Just Aren't The Same - THANK GOD!

Queen Liz of England is a great fan of McGowan’s songs about the Irish diaspora and has donned traditional Oirish Garb to make sure she can get a ticket for the show.

Ginny Bunty In-Bred, keeper of the Queen’s knuckles told Gfb, “Liz is highly excited about the news. She has a real empathy for the Micks and promises to be ruling you all again in a few years time. Whoops I shouldn’t have said that last bit. Invasion plans were meant to be secret. Can we not mention that. There’s a knighthood in it for you, Pleb looking chap if you keep schtum.”

“Top Of One’s Morning To One”

Well here’s a couple of examples of Shanes’s handiwork.

Hello,

My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.

I have been potterising for nearly two decades now. I stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.

I’ve been making little pottery versions of famous boy bands. Bands such as, Those Lads Who Can’t Sing But Wear Their Jeans Below Their Arses, That One With That Lad With A Limp In and The One With Those Lads With Ridiculous Facial Hair.

Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.

1. Painting

The Nightwatch -  One of Rembrandt’s best. Difficult to watch things at night. It is dark. I like this painting though. At night look at it with the light on though. Otherwise you won’t see much.

2. Movies

Live and Let Die – Roger Moore’s eyebrow is very good. Any film that has Voodoo and men wearing shirts sporting epaulettes is alright by me. Goes on a bit.

3. Music

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here – “We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year” – doesn’t matter – fish have very bad memories so they won’t be  lost for long. Fish are thick.  Goes on a bit.

4. Literature

James Ellroy – American Tabloid – Drug smuggling transvestite J. Edgar Hoover shoots JFK and blames a black bloke.  Goes on a bit though.

5. Bridge Night

Tomorrow’s Bridge Night has been cancelled as the Bridge has not been delivered yet due to the floods. Keep an eye on the noticeboard outside the Butcher’s for further news.

Since my last Column I’ve made some fish. Tench mostly. but there is the odd Perch in there too. They will go in my pond. In my garden. Out the back of my house.

Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.

1. Painting

The Last Supper -  Da Vinci’s masterpiece. The last supper I had was a cheese sandwich and a slice of pork pie. Very tasty it was although it repeated on me for a while.

2. Movies

Seven Years in Tibet – Brad Pitt up a mountain. Then in a monastery. He has a German accent. Goes on a bit.

3. Music

Motorhead – The Ace of Spades – You can’t beat a good shovel. Lemming has a great voice. Goes on a bit.

4. Literature

Homer’s Odyssey - Tale about a Greek bloke who goes to war and then comes back after a few years. Set in Greece. Goes on a bit though.

5. Zumba Club

Tomorrow’s Zumba Club will now take place in the Frozen Foods aisle in Spar and not as previously advertised in the World Foods aisle. Someone dropped a bottle of Salsa and Sally won’t get round to clearing it up until tomorrow.

Hello Folks,

My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.

I have been potterising for nearly two decades now. I stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.

Did you enjoy The Olympics? I did although it went on a bit.

Since my last Column I’ve finished the mug handles I told you about and have now made the mugs. All I have to do now is attach the handles to the mugs and Bob’s Your Uncle!

Here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.

1. Painting

The Hay Wain -  Constable’s most famous painting.  I always thought he was a Policeman. It threw me for a while when my mate told me he wasn’t.

2. Movies

Die Hard – A bloke wearing a vest kills the bloke who played a wizard in Harry Potter. He can’t have been much of a wizard if he lets a bloke in a vest kill him. Goes on a bit.

3. Music

The Bee Gees – How Deep Is Your Love? – My fiancée went twelve feet deep once. Dropped her engagement ring down the drain you see.  She fished it out with a coat hanger.

4. Literature

Lord Of The Rings by Tolkien – A little lad with Big Feet defeats Evil by throwing his ring away. Maybe that’s what my girlfriend was trying to do all along. Goes on a bit though.

5. Pole Dancing

Thursday’s Pole Dancing class that was due to take place in the Barbers has been cancelled. Nobby has put his back out.

Hello Folks,

My name is Terry Cotter. I’m a potter.

I have been potterising for nearly two decades now. I stock a wide range of ceramic goods in my shop The Potter’s Reel, down here in Lower Swell. The shop is named after my potter’s wheel which goes round and round. Like a reel.

Since my last Column I’ve concentrated on making mug handles. I will make some mugs next.

So, without further ado here are some reviews of some of my favourite bits from the world they call “Art”.

1. Painting

Sunflowers - I like this painting. It has some flowers in a vase. Don’t like the vase very much though. Vince cut his ear off later on. That must have smarted.

2. Movies

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid - A western set in the west of America.  Goes on a bit though. Has that song in it. The one about rain. Never figured it out to be honest.

3. Music

Chopin’s Polonaise in A flat major – lovely bit of ivory tinkling here. Goes on a bit though. He’s right up there with Liberace in my opinion.

4. Literature

Crime and punishment by Dostoevsky - A Russian bloke commits a crime, gets caught and is punished. Goes on a bit though.

5. Mime

Finally I would like to give a big shout out for the upcoming Lower Swell mime festival. It’s in the Post Office next Wednesday.
