Kevin Barrington and Conor Horgan together… that’s a treat!
Lost my interest after 25 seconds
Now you know how your missus feels.
Love it.
I ended up really enjoying that.
Does he write limericks?
Old women are vile to behold.
They’re creepy and needy and cold.
“Unhand me!” I’m hissing
When their kitties go missing.
(I’ve redefined 40 as old.)
I’ll redefine you, you cheeky pup.
I love it.
(I love Kevin too, but this was catty and clichéd.)
Misogynistic poetry..Excellent.
It’s just a hissy fit
Some hissy fit
Sure you do what you can Pipp…See you have changed broom for cat. (eek)
Nah, its an illusion. All done with mirrors I tell ye.
misogynys so hot right now!!
Misogyny? I dunno. A tale of terror.
More peach eating than woman baiting.
BTW if anyone is interested, here’s the original.

It was recorded deep into a year’s interferon treatment over a year ago.
It’s a nasty drug.
Chemo like.
But with added psycho dimensions.
And serious chemical depression.
Thankfully new treatments with greater efficacy and less of the harrowing side effects are coming on stream. Making that interferon/ribivarin shit seem like very primitive crude medical history.
On the subject of crude history, a few people took objection to this when it first came out.
And yeah the word ‘misogyny’ appeared.
Of predictable course.
It worried me a little..
Cos misogyny is not really what you wanna be.
I kinda like women.
So minimising the potential for the misogyny accusation.
And also the potential for the whole show to be seen as psychiatric were foremost on my mind.
So with Conor’s direction, Richard Donnelly’s photography and Steve Kingston’s art direction, we managed to up the comic out-take a little compared to the original
KIngston’s art direction really helped.
All those posters.
At first I thought it was too much.
Then I thought fupp it, it would make a good counter-balance.
Anything that tamed the psychiatric hues was good.
And highlighting absurd terror, I hoped, took attention away misogynistic reading.
Anyhow I am very happy with what the guys did.
A friend of Conor’s aptly described it as ‘odd as a bag of cats.’
Anyhow.
Enuf guff.
Outta me.
Can’t blame the drugs-in vino veritas.However,i trust that your’e feeling better.
Cats, to some people they conjure aging spinsters, balls of wool and mind where you put your feet. Terrifying
