Because he suffers from a rare skin disorder I think. Though he is completely right in judging people solely on their typing skills, it is a very revealing trait in people.

Somehow the idea of you speaking German is a very sexy one! STOP IT GALBALLY, I must remain detached and professional at all times on this thread, do not tempt me with your tuetonic ways you vixen!

Parlez vous Francais?

Ah the joys of the French language. If only I'd spent more time listening at college, I would be able to speak French pretty fluently. Oh well, English is hard enough anyway, so I'll just stick to the one language for the meantime. :p

Dear Dr. Galbally:

How long do you let your reindeer warm up on cold mornings? Sometimes Rudolph takes up to 15 minutes to gets his hooves moving for a quick trip around the North Pole. Is this the usual length of time for such things, or are my reindeer balking this time of year?

Dear Santa, I have heard that the Japanese have developed a device for just such a problem. It is a reindeer warmer-uper and is guarenteed to have the reindeer at a peak of potential performance within 45 seconds, it costs $4,400 and is availabe at Walmart, the nearest one to you would be in Northern Canada I presume. If you prefer a more traditional approach it would also be useful to fill them with Finnish vodka before your christmas outings, though of course the toilet problems would also have to be dealt with.

Bye Bye Santa.

I am a big Van Morisson fan. Is he an icon in Ireland ? Irelands favorite son ? Have you seen his home from the outside ? I know hes a recluse but any sightings ?

Van the man is very well loved in Ireland, though he is a miserable old git sometimes, his gigs are notorious for this. As a break from dishing out dodgy advise I will relate my big Van Morrison story.

When we were younger we were out playing somewhere in Dublin. On the way home we discovered we had about 12p and we were hungry (there were a lot of us) since we had our acoustic guitars with us we decided we would busk on Grafton Street for chip money. I was singing away doing "Moondance" a perennial busking favorite, when I was stopped by a swift kick up the arse by one of my friends, I turned around to hit him a smack with the neck of the guitar on the forehead (this was a regular occurrence in those days) when he said look you f*cking tosser at who's over there! I loooked over and there was Van Morrison laughing at our pathetic attempts to copy him in an efort to get Ã‚£3.50 for some fish and chips. A treasured memory of youth!

P.S. He didn't give us any money, the f*cker.

How cool is this ??? You can tell in his music how he struggles with fame and his mistrust of people, almost paranoid but I know he struggles with alcohol as well. Well, perhaps its his tortured soul that is his fountain. Hes an incredible lyricist. I saw him last yr and even though I paid way way too much for tickets off e bay I considered it a once in a lifetime experience.

Galbally · Post by **Galbally** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 6:45 am

I agree, he is a great artist, though he could have given us a quid for doing one of his songs.

Now is there anyone in need of advice in these troubled times?

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 6:46 am

I could tell Nomad stories whilst he plays his harp

Galbally · Post by **Galbally** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 6:57 am

I think he lives in Dalkey, which is a posh Dublin suburb on the southside (Bono of the wraparound sunglasses and the saving the world thing) also lives there. I doubt ehe would appreciate you camping out there though, and it would be likely that he would case you away with a shotgun (after having made you buy a few CDs).

Dear CG, I am a little late with this advice as I was.......indisposed. Anyway, a good recipe for left overs is the Italian dish Tetrazini, in this dish you first slice whatever is left of the turkey into thin slices. Then saute some chalots and mushrooms in olive oil with a little garlic and oregano. Then part-boil some spagetti. Get a large backing dish, when the spagetti is soft take it from the water, place a layer of it on the bottom of the dish (which you have rubbed with a little olive oil. Then place a layer of the turkey slices down, over this place a layer of chalots and mushrooms, repeat this process until the dish is full. Then pour in a cream-cheese sauce (which you can make by very slowly boiling some cream, when the cream starts to rise add in a little grated white cheese a bit at a time, and stirr it in till you reach the cheesyness and consistency that you want. Pour this sauce over the whole dish and let it settle down through the layers, a little nutmeg can be added to taste. (A layer of spagetti should go on top with optional grated cheese as a final layer) Then place this concoction in the oven at gas mark 5 for about 45 mins. Remove the dish and allow it to stand until cold. You will then be able to slice it as a cake and reheat each portion as desired in the microwave. Bon Appetite.

I'm incredibly curious if an online friend has gotten lucky lately, but I'm too shy and retiring to ask him. What should I do?

I think an element of mystery is always a good thing in regards to relationships whith your flirty online friends. This allows you to retain a pleasant impression of your cyber-buddies life and not have to listen to sordid details of their sexual adventures late at night in a Japanese late-night karaoke/house music food bar in Dublin filled with crazy, party women, who's only intention seems to be to corrupt the pure ways of an innocent country boy.

But then again, you may think differently.

This is no laughing matter ladyCop, this young woman (recently recovered from Danephobia) has unwittingly become a pawn in a dastardly plan to yet again take over the planet by the Toothiabians. It is essential that these radios are shaken from your teeth, but not in a way that arouses suspision. Therefore it is imperative that you immeaditaly find yourself a young and fit lover, and engage in torrid 7 hour long lovemaking sessions, that will naturally shake your radios out, and the Toothibians will refrain from trying to use you again as being aliens they are afraid of sex and so forth. I wish you God's speed on your endevour.

Arnold, sir, I have made several attempts since I heard Clancy's piece to put some music from an album I made with an Irishy style combo onto an MP3 format so that you could listen to it,and blast my soul apart with your withering and pithy remarks. Unfortunatly I am an idiot and any technical business involving PCs usually leave me questioning why I get up in the morning at all. However, I shall perservere as it is only fair that you get a decent chance to destroy my musical credibility. When the music becomes available I shall post it forthwith.

I do have a readily available cover of "Misty Mountain Hop" that I did on a juice harp made out of coal, but I do not believe that the world is as yet advanced enough to appreciate my genius on this particular track. Anyway, try and be patient at my computer hopelessness and I will soon provide some fun.
