From the columist who heard that the economy got an unexpected boost this morning, Brian, start wanking accordingly

Du Du Du Du Du Da Da Da....I've bored out of my skull already and Eoin's only been gone for about 17 hours.........De De De De De De De

It's been too long you know since we last got a piece out of Donie's diary, so here it is...


JustDonie's Secret Diary

Tuesday

Lying on my beddie reading Rachel Steven's book listening to Elton John (I've asked Shambo to try to get me his number so we could jam together, he could come to my bed or we could go to his palace). I don't get any mentions in Rachel's book but neither does Bryan MacFadden, now who's the best vocalist in Ireland, Bryan my boy?

Her book is boring because it's all about S - Club and they were a bunch of rubbish heads. My three fave books of all time are - "My Life in Vision: The Linda Martin Story" (I'm in it lots) - "Shampoo Ads: The Davina MacAll Story" (I'm in it loads and loads) - "The Streetwize Unauthorised Story" - (In it so much I literally nearly died reading it).

They're probably going to ask me to write a sequel to the Streetwize book but without the other ones 'cause they're poopy heads who weren't talented enough to share a stage with me. They should make it into film starring Zack from Saved by the Bell as me. Or Tony off Hollyoaks.

Wednesday

Saw Westlife today signing autographs in HMV. They were all so awestruck by seeing me that they couldn't even bring themselves to accept a signed hairband from me, JustDonal. It must be terrible to not be in a boyband with me. I would just give up. Thankfully I'm brilliant.

Saw Brian with his girlfriend tonight, wonder when Aisling's bet is finished.

Thursday

Mummy made my favourite Shepards Pie tonight. She was reluctant at first to take the carrots out but finally relented when I followed her into the toilet to make my (fully justified point). She's crying now, I don't think she likes me using the 'c' word.

I am knitting a woolie hat for Shambo. It's really hard to get it to spell out Shambo out on the front in yellow. It's gonna match perfectly with his hat and gloves that he is obviously saving for a special occaision because he never wears them out. Maybe he'll give me a present too, something I could frame like one of his cigarette butts.

Friday

I had to give Catriona a Chinese burn today because she was making the moves on Shambo. She bought Shambo an apple but Shambo doesn't like green ones. Shambo doesn't really like Catriona, I wonder if she tricked him into sex.

Saturday

Watched X - Factor with Mummy, she said I could win the show if I wasn't already one of the best singers in the whole widest world.

I can't sleep because tomorrow I am joining a new boyband that are rubbish but I might just be able to tolerate them. I have to go to a silly audition because obviously they don't know who I am. Can't wait should be easy to be in this band.

Sunday

Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. I was the bestest singer at those auditions but for some silly reason I wasn't picked. Not fair!!!!!!!

I've written a letter of complaint to everyone of my heroes, Ronan, Kian, Stephen Gaytely, Louis Walsh, Justin, The Carter Twins.

I'm crying now.

Monday

Still crying.

Tuesday

Asked Mummy could I go to the World Moustache Championships in Germany, she says no because I have to go to something called work, tut. I would definetly win a prize. If mummy doesn't let me go next year I'm going on strike as her favourite son (John doesn't count, he has a shit moustache.)

I'm finished Shambo's hat now and am wearing it in for him.

Wednesday

Found Ronan Keating on the street and gave him some singing lessons. He said a rude word, and I laughed, so much I had to give him my curly wurly.

****

Peace out

From the columist who moving rooms, or changing rooms as the case might be

I've been away for a long time, I know. I always find it really pretentious or something when people apologise for being away from something that wasn't that good in the first place...so here I'm back with no fizz - fazz (what the hell did that mean).

Things that have gone on in my absence

Catriona and Shambo are back ridin'

***That is all***

Another thing about having been away for so long is that I've missed out on whats been going in peoples lives so what I did was I sent out a questionairre to everyone and I was shocked at how many people wrote back! So here we go...

I hate reading...

JustDonal said 'about myself in the tabloids'

Basically Brian said 'reviews of my work'

Shambo said 'and writing'

I want my wedding to be so special I will...

Andi said 'write my own vows'

Kate said 'wait until I'm absolutely ready'

Catriona said 'remain celebate until that day' (God I can't believe I got that out without bursting)

When I heard N'sync's Lance Bass came out of the closet I thought...

Aoife K said 'he showed great courage'

Suzanne said 'he can finally stop living a lie'

Ali said 'Ah shit I wanted to tap that white boys ass'

The best way to lose excess wait is to...

Aoife R said 'cut down on carbs'

Dara Mac said 'run three miles a day'

JustDonal said 'Fire Paul from the website'

I always run into ex - girlfriends at...

Darragh K said 'parties'

JustDonal said 'The Stream'

Shambo said 'bedtime'

If I ever left my course I could see myself...

Basically Brian said 'in politics'

Aoife N said 'making pottery'

Shambo said 'finding more hours for sponging'

You can find true love you just have to have enough...

Basically Brian said 'patience'

Kate said 'faith'

JustDonal said 'anal lubricant'

If I were a car I'd be...

Aoife R said 'a Volkswagen Beetle'

Eoin said 'a corvette'

Ali said 'having sex with 12 other cars at once'

Well did u all enjoy that?

Top Ten reasons Shambo and Catriona are getting back together

10. Shambo's stimulating conversation ("Ireland isn't really an island")

9. As an excuse to show off their his and hers 'we're reconciled tatoos'

8. Stop Shambo's little brother making the moves on Catriona's brother

7. In order to keep the website going

6. She loves how before coming to be he kicks his underwear over his head

5. Shambo needed a new person to contribute petrol money

4. She's the roasted veg, he's the ham and eggs, together their a love omlette

3. A heartfelt plea from Carly

2. A heartfelt plea from Shambo's erection

1. Vodka

Quote of the week - "You guys are all slaves to time" - Muggins himself, Shambo

From the columist who was wit ur awl one

Right Donals been a bit different since he came back from Nice, FACT.

Why you might ask? I've been wondering this too so I decided the only thing to do was to Donie's France diary and see what's goin on in his head.

So here we are:

JUSTDONAL'S UNCENSORED FRANCE DIARY

Thursday June 1

JustDonal plus three others arrived in Franceland today and I looked very, very handsome in my H&M gear (mammy told me). My moustache was coming in really well too with nearly three hairs fully grown. I brought my microphone with me so I can show the guys that I know all the words to George Michael’s songs. I plan to debut my new song ‘Bitch, get you’re hands offa him” which is about any ‘girl’ who comes near my Shambo.

Since we arrived Paul has eaten several Big Macs and a Pakistani child.

Friday June 2

I’m seriously thinking of ringing Seamus’s dad to complain about two things in his apartment.

The pillows, too square
The soaps, not square enough
The doorbell ring isn’t in proper key with itself

I tell the boys that I’m not that hungover from the two malibus I had the night before and want to go out again!!!

This trip is going to be the bestest way to relax before my American tour with my band. I can’t wait.

Saturday June 3
I rang my Mammy to tell her that I saw Paul kissing a girl, YUK! Everyone knows girls are stinky. We are all having a great time, we’re getting along really well and having a laugh. Earlier PJ told me “Go fuck yourself! You little gay wannabe pop idol cunt!!!! Now fuck off”.

Mammy Liz says she’s not going to fly out with my favourite pillow. Had to cry myself to sleep last night because I miss her stories especially when she reads “Pop Princess” the Britney Spears story.

I asked Shambo did he want a massage before we went out tonight. He declined. I like his hair.

Brushed my moustache.

Sunday June 4

Not much happened today the boys were tired. Spent a few hours watching Shambo sleep then did my vocal excerises.

I have the bestest voice in the whole world I bet Ireland wishes they could get me in the Eurovision.

Spent the entire day in my jim jams, how fun?

Monday June 5

I cried today because Paul said I looked like Glen of Big Brother, he’s ugly and doesn’t have a proper moustache.

Tuesday June 6

My manager tells me my voice is scratchy and I’m not allowed sing for a while. I didn’t tell him I scratched it singing a Metallica song.

I can’t stop singing; the lads all love it, especially Shambo. I got a special request for ‘Touch my bum’ by The Cheeky Girls. I’m going to sing it for them in my jim jams.

Wednesday June 7

The lads completely ignore my suggestion of not listening to any music until my voice heals! They won’t stop singing along, and there all rubbish. Especially Paul (his moustache his shit).

Shambo sings for a while though, he’s got the second bestest voice in the world.

Thursday June 8

I take it easy today. I opt to stay in and do my George Michael jigsaw in my jim jams.

When we do go out everyone swarms around me, I’m definitely everyone’s favourite person!

PJ feels sick, that’s what you get for not being Shambo.

Looking forward to going out tomorrow night, meet some nice people, Streetwise fans obviously.

My manager isn’t answering my calls anymore, must have lost his phone. I can’t wait to give him his pink Nice t shirt.

Friday June 9

In the morning I sang ‘Touch My Bum’ to a very excited audience. All the lads were smiling, brilliant. I had Shambo (kiss kiss) tape the performance and put it up on my BEBO, he forgot, o Shambo.

If I am as successful at chatting up men/women tonight I should be able to hold hands with a new person every hour.

Someone on the train was looking at me, I gave him some harsh words in return, I hope he didn’t hear them.

I talked to loadsa people tonight it was brill, I met a Swedish person who was as crazy about great music as I am, this person nearly made me make a sex wee.
After all the girls I met best friends with Shambo is clearly jealous, so he tells everyone he kissed (ewwwwwwwww) a nice looking girl. Lies.

Saturday June 10

I cried today when I had to leave. Shambo cried too, I’d say. But I’m now the best with chatting up people, so I will now need some new jim jams, with a star on them like a sherrif or a jew. BANG BANG!

From the columist who needs to talk to Donal about doing the definitive post about the shyat that went on in France

I’m Irish. So I’m not sure if that really puts me in a position to argue the toss over whether or not nationalist have hijacked nationalism of the rights to the phrase “I am Irish”.

In the past few days I’ve seen many young nationalists be abused by young unionists and vice versa. We are all Christians.

I haven’t read The New Testament cover to cover, but from I understand if you cut out all the chapters about where Jesus helps the poor, needy and treating others how you would want to be treated you would have a great container to hide all the drugs Gerry Adams intends to sell on Parnell Street.

My views about politics and God come from my Grandad who died two years ago from Lung Cancer, which brings me to a funny story.

My granda, Paddy, died in my house. My uncle came home from the Isle of Man and all of his small family came together to support Maria who was closest of all to him.

A few days before Paddy passed his local priest from Coolock had found out that Paddy had been sick, he asked if he could come out to talk to him. Maria thought about it for a moment and decided it wasn’t a good idea.

Paddy was extremely smart, he knew he was dying. He knew I knew he was dying. He once again knew that I didn’t want to talk about it unless he brought it up. When he clenched my hand one day and told me “Theres not long left, Paul” I died a little bit inside.

A few days later Paddy’s priest called again. He asked my Dad could he come over to comfort Maria. Maria was a wreck by then. If anyone could offer her comfort it would be fantastic for the whole family. So Father Black came over.

He talked with all of us then eventually he asked “Would if be okay if I saw Paddy?”

Paddy had always been very religious. Until in the 90s when scandals about priests and Christian Bros came out, he still went to church regularly but became less involved with the actual priests since some of those involved in scandals where priests he had fundraised alongside.

Maria said she would go upstairs to ask Paddy if he would see Father Black. Poor Maria had a hard time making it up the stairs so I went with her.

At this stage Paddy was so weak and pale it was difficult to look at him. Still though he remained on the ball.

“Dad, Father Black is here and he wants to know if he can have a word with you?” Maria asked him. Paddy took a deep breath and told us.

“If he feels like it will do HIM some good…” Father Black was knew at the parish and Paddy didn’t really know him. For a nearly dead man to tell a joke like that was brilliant. In all my life if I could do that it would be worth it.

Father Black spoke to Paddy for about an hour, Paddy died two days later. Father Black said his funeral and the mass I told Father Black the story and he laughed, hard.

It wasn’t till recently that I heard the full story of that day.

At my Great Aunt’s funeral two months ago Father Black was once again doing the honours. After the mass I got the opportunity to talk to him. He told me that while he was talking to Paddy, Paddy spent the whole time trying to make him feel comfortable.

That was Paddy.

Patrick Breslin was born in Ballybough in 1920. Paddy left school at 8 to become a messenger boy and help to support his rapidly growing family. He was everything during his life - Milkman, Fireman, Soldier, Electrician, Phone Engineer, Boxer, Boxing Trainer - anything to support his family.

He and my Granny, Florence, were married for 50 years, and they loved each other dearly. He nearly fell apart when she died. He was a catholic like everyone in my family growing up.
Unlike everyone else he wasn’t afraid to express his opinions on who or what God was.

Something that was crazy during the secular 1950s Ireland. He believed in God and Heaven, he made me believe in God and Heaven.

Paddy didn’t believe in God as man in a white beard sitting on a mountain but as a human like he had created, a one who treated all humans the same regardless.

My Granda once told me that he believed in Nature. He included with this humankind, to be so beautiful, so magnificent, there had to be something behind it all. That was it: There just has to be something behind everything that we see.

It wasn’t anymore complicated then that.

For Paddy his political teaching lay in that the ethical teaching priests had told him from day one, something he had told me was that always put in perspective the advice giver’s agenda.
Paddy was a history nut, maybe that’s where I got it from.

I knew one of his favourite quotes came from American founding father John Adams when he said “Be Just and Good.” Something Paddy lived his life by, something I will strive to live mine by.

Another one of Paddy’s favourite historical figures was Thomas Jefferson, who would have distorted some of Paddy’s Christian beliefs. I never had the chance to ask Paddy what he would have thought about Jefferson having sex with a black slave girl.

I’m 100% sure he would have disapproved. Mainly because the girl was a slave in the first place.
My beliefs of God and Politics are the same as Paddy’s. We are all the same regardless. And like him I respect all other beliefs. I know that whoever carries these beliefs extract great joy and inspiration from them. I also expect all others to respect my beliefs.

Is Paddy in heaven looking down, giving us all that same smile he gave me when I laughed at his joke? I have no idea. In fact I wouldn’t say so. But I know he is a part of me, and part of everyone who loved him.

I think somewhere in there is God.

From the columist who has a thing for string cheese

So when I'm in France what will everyone else be doing? Muhahahaha!

Not sure if I've done this before but if I have tough

Being out socialising with everyone is great, it really is, I get to talk with everybody about a range of different things but I never feel that I get enough info. Thankfully with the advent of BEBO I get to send out questionairres to people and they get back to me and we have a jolly old laugh and if it's okay with you I'd like to share them with you.

If I could have dinner with anyone from history it would be...

Katus said "Michael Collins"

Doug said "Otto Von Bismarck"

Ali said "That guy who did me from behind last summer"

My friends and I are always up for...

Keogh said "a few cans and a DvD"

Dara Mac said "a game of ball"

PJ said "three days straight"

I fear the ban on gay priests will lead to...

Strictly Jonathan said "Intolerance in the gay community"

Andraea said "A distortion of true christian values"

Just Donal said "Me having no reason to go to church"

In addition to being my lover my girlfriend is also...

Simon Carberry said "My best friend"

Simon Hayes said "The only one I can really trust"

Just Donal said "Inflatable" (Bang, two in a row!)

After dinner I like to...

Shambo said "Have a cigarette"

IL Signe "Go for a walk"

I said "You mean dinner can be over??"

I don't feel like a star on JustDonal.Blogspot.com and feel just like everyone else when I have to...

Catriona said "Wash my clothes"

Katus said "Do the shopping"

Basically Brian said "Hate my columns"

I'm completely useless when it comes to...

Aoife R said "anything mechanical"

Aoife K said "anything financial"

Shambo said "anything anything"

Dreams of the Dancefloor: The JustDonal Story

by JustDonal

(Ghostwritten by Viva La Pablo)

The final serialisation: Chapter 1

My childhood was very normal, nothing made it extraordinary, except there were many in Howth who thought that I was the only gay in this village.

I suppose it all really changed when I was 18 and put my hand on a girl's breast, it was very powerful. Her strong christian belief's prevented me from throttling her one but still her breasts were juicy.

Another turning point for me was when a man asked me to come to his house, it was to join the band but at first I thought he liked me for me not because of my unbelievable singing talent. It's a cross I have to bare.

When we first walked out on stage for our first American show I felt a rush of pleasure not felt since I had my hand on that girl's breast, it was equsite. The only thing that came close to the feeling was when we swept the first annual Gay Grammy awards.

I sit here now telling this story so people can understand the pain of the gay jokes, the pain I go through when I have to cry myself to sleep on my leopard skin pillows! The pain is terrible, but still even though you joke, I love you all.

One more anecdote though before we move on, the night after we had just broken up myself and Doug Switzer went on a bit of a bender (well I was on more of a bender then he was if you know what I mean) and we found ourselves in the middle of the new Mexico desert, I must have had three or four Malibus so I was seeing the pink elephants. When Switzer and myself stood beside each other in the middle of the desert, we saw God. Then Doug runied the moment by sticking a Cactus plant up his arse, hilarious all the same. Ah Doug it's a pity I had to have him killed.

*******************************************

Do you think Donal should sue me after writing this? Probably

How Real Men Behave

Voila a little tale for you to recount on the next occasion that footballers are compared unfavourably to those ‘real men’ of rugby union.

While news of two All Blacks fighting in a Christchurch bar sounds manly enough, the account of the scuffle to be found in the New Zealand Herald contains several noteworthy details:

'Patrons at a Christchurch bar say they watched in disbelief as former All Black captain Tana Umaga struck a teammate in the head with a woman's handbag.

'They said Hurricanes teammate and All Black Chris Masoe then broke into tears after the blows from Umaga, and was ridiculed by onlookers.''

"It looked more like ... an angry mother smacking a naughty child kind of thing."

''Another bar patron, Scott, said he saw Umaga pick up a handbag and strike Masoe twice. "When that happened, Masoe burst into tears and created a bit of a scene at the bar. A female bouncer came in and managed to get Masoe and Umaga to leave.'

Seeing as I'm going to France, have I mentioned that?? Here are some good holidaying tips

Top Ten Viva La Pablo tips for enjoying you're holiday

10. Take the time to learn local public drunkeness laws

9. Find out how receptive the locals to are to 5am renditions of "Where the streets have no name"

8. Pick up T - Shirt: "I was in Ayia Napa and I all I got was the Clap"

6. When you are being arrested try to bribe the police with a pot of gold, after you inform them that you are Irish, and a leperachan obviously

5. Learn how to say "she said she wanted to do it" in the local language

3. Don't forget to tip the person pulls you out of a gutter somewhere

Currently in my BEBO poll to see who will be the first one to get some action in France Shambo is winning, followed by PJ, followed by me but sadly JustDonal is last but that'll probably mean he'll be the first one to score.

I'll talk to yiz all when I get back from France!

Just to fill you all in I managed to get tickets for The Editors last night, and frankly they rocked. Shambo nearly got killed by a scalper which was gas, we met two nice girls, sisters so they were, but we couldn't decide which one we wanted so neither of us got anywhere. He claimed he scored one of them, he's lying of course.

Somesongs for yiz to download cuz I'm hungover

Faultline & Chris Martin - Where is my Boy

Wasn't sure about this one but after a few listens it gets a most definate two thumbs off, Coldplay fans will love it and it can be downloaded here: http://scatterolight.blogspot.com/2006/05/those-are-rules.html
