This is a short extract from a debate on blasphemy at the Hay Festival in 2006, with Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens, hosted by the gloriously sexy 'older' woman Joan Bakewell. The audience member posing the question goes on a bit, but Stephen's response is as eloquent as always. If you want to listen to the whole thought-provoking, entertaining, and at time heated debate, you can listen to it HERE.

... because I'm up to my glamorous mannish woman-eyes this week. I'm working on my show A Woman In Progress, which will be on in the Dublin Theatre Festival. (Book tickets HERE Kids!)
But I'll throw you the occasional blog bone. Like this one...
I guess space is at a real premium in Gibraltar (well, it is known as 'The Rock") because the airport runway is intersected by a busy four lane road! Traffic has to be stopped whenever a plane takes off or lands. I guess the British wouldn't pony up for a tunnel.

The curvy sexy new pedestrian and LUAS bridge over the Royal Canal at Spencer Dock, that I've posted about before, is one of nine Irish projects that have been shortlisted for the World Architecture Festival Awards.
Here are some crappy pics of it. It was impossible to get a good vantage point because it's still surrounded by construction.

(thanks Blánaid)
And the collapse is causing a massive headache for Iarnrod Eireann. Not only the cost of the repair, the lengthy time-frame involved, and the 20,000 passengers a day that will now need to bussed, but also because of all the carriages that are now 'trapped' on the far side of the breach.

OK, I'm kidding. But the real bikes are going to be a disappointment now.
This is Finnish artist Mimosa Pale (there's a drag name if ever I heard one) in Helsinki with her 'vagina bike taxi', which she developed as an antidote to all the phallic imagery she feels surrounds us. You know, like telephone poles I suppose. And choc-ices. And bollards. And traffic cones. Yes. Traffic cones. Don't tell me you've never come across a pyramid dick?
(thanks Brian)

I can't believe I never worked this out for myself! It's all so obvious now.
(thanks Chris)
Of course, a dick fits comfortably in my hand too...

... that terrestrial TV would be advertising cooking shows with ass-less chaps and jokes about gay fisting, I'd have said, "Really??!!".

Leaving aside the fact the Civil Partnership Bill is to do with the secular state and how it treats it's citizens and has absolutely nothing to do with this asshole, why the feck should anyone give a toss what Cardinal Sean Brady thinks? H's an unelected official in an organisation that considers women to be second class people incapable of performing special male-only functions, that considers members of their organisation to be special in God's eyes, that believes bread and wine are changed into flesh and blood despite the evidence of their own senses (and then eat it anyway), that teaches that babies are born marked by 'sin', and just for good measure, has been shown beyond any doubt to have put the protection of it's own members above the protection of children from sadistic physical and sexual abuse.
Cardinal Sean Brady should be hanging his head in shame, embarrassed to be seen in public, not trying to stop citizens of this country from gaining (some) of the rights afforded to everyone else.
Go fuck yourself Sean Brady. Cop on!
UPDATE: Here's the TV News clip.

When are we going to have the aquatic musical revival?
I had a bit of an Esther Williams phase when I was a kid and RTE used to show her movies on Saturday afternoons. My mother had been a fan so she liked to watch them. I still remember the tension of the scene in Miooion Dollar Mermaid when the glass is cracking in her tank as she performs at the fair. Get out of the tank Esther!!!!!
I have a swimming hat autographed by her that a friend gave me as a gift. She signed it for him when he met her at the "Gay Games" one year, where he was on the Irish swimming team. Apparently she was super sweet.
