Life was dull and Truman-esque living in Dublin suburbia so I went on the Internet to look for a new life and found it in a small drinking village with a big fishing problem called Courtmacsherry in West Cork.
I’m originally from Dublin though not sure what age I am anymore as it changes year to year. My darling wife does however continuously have to remind me that it’s not 21.
This blog contains little stories about my adventures/misadventures as a Dub living in West Cork and anything else that amuses me.
I hope it amuses you. Enjoy!
This is rubbish – go back to Dublin
(OK “The Wife” made me say that)
Reading the site beats working anyway.

Thanks for the kind words Sean. An “Only Ray In The Village” mug is on its way to you.

Ridiculous!
I find this all a bit much really! I mean where will it all end? …although… I know I shouldn’t say this, but I like it! Is that so wrong? Am I bad? Ya see… I coulda bean a bartender! I coulda bean somebody!!! Instead of a bum, which is what I am. But so what?
Little or no regard.

Ah LeRooski. I wondered when you might appear out of a dark alley unshaven and smelling of tramp. This website is as much for a bum like you as a Dublin gent like me. Pass it on with your next can of dutch gold.

Huge praise indeed from a man who claims he invented the internet.

A woman gets on a bus with her baby.
The bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby that I’ve ever seen. Ugh!”
The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!”
The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

Keepin it real on the streets of Cork, all credit to da ray at the end of the day, your old house is now occupied by 34 lithuanian’s who spend their day in centra and their nights in your old attic!
have pity on us indigenous folk who still have to visit said convienience stores to obtain such vitals as 6 dutch for 7€ ! Anyway I digress;

Wow this website is really causing a stir. Next there’ll be a biography written which I give you full rights to and then a movie.
Although to ensure it’s accuracy I will insist that Brad Pitt plays my life.
