ST. PATRICK’S DAY FALLOUT: OUR NATIONAL SHAME CONTINUES
Holy moly, it’s like Paddy’s Day, April Fools and Christmas all rolled into one… “Drunk Birds Fall From Sky” is the lead headline in today’s Northside People (yeah, I keep it pretty real): “Northsiders were shocked this week when a flock of birds literally fell from the sky after becoming drunk on fermented berries in Finglas…” The birds, apparently, died of alcohol poisoning after eating some berries that were growing wild in a housing estate. The front page report also says that the birds, Waxwings, originated in northern Russia. Which is odd, since you’d think at least that they could handle their drink.

Not tellin ya how to do your job mate, but where are the dodgy bird puns? Crowds flocking to see drunk birds ruffle a few feathers etc. Call your self a journalist?

Sorry to let you down Matt. I considered it, but just couldn’t go through with it. Not a true journalist, not by a long shot.

@ Matt – Okay, I give up. Breaking news: police suspect fowl play. Urgh, feel dirty now.
@ WB Andersen – Huh?
