A Clarification of Issues

It has come to my attention that certain slanderous accusations are being circulated as to my whereabouts of last week. I feel that i must put the electronic pen to paper and refute these viperish insinuations

After a long and arduous journey from this fair nations capital i arrived in Ennis Circit Court (give or take a few days)Here i was told that the case was that of mary kelly, a crazy woman who attacked an american army plane in shannon airport.The way the sytem works is that 20 people are called and if they can give no valid reason not to do it then the prosecution and defence have 7 vetoes each. In the end they went through around 35 people before they managed to get a jury. unfortunately i was not picked but the judge told me to come back the day after.....so i did

oh yes what an ardous journey. how did you turn what usually is a four hour bus trip into a trek that lasted from 4:30 on friday evening to 9 o clock on wednesday morning? go on regale me with more bullshit. oh and then tell us what you did when you were asked to turn up the next day? did you turn up late, chicken out and then not even go in? what about friday paul? what were you doing on friday, you seem to have mentioned that you were doing jury duty, but you werent were you? you were probably at the bottom of the canal cursing the two armed man.
