Monday morning with Father Ted

Well that weekend zipped by far too quickly – though it certainly was an enjoyable one, at least for me. I was able to see a great band play live on Friday night, and as a consequence, quite happily lost most of my vocal range the next day. The older I get, though, the less quickly I am able to recover from standing up and jumping around for 5 hours. Metal gigs really are a young man’s game…

Regardless, it is Monday, and that means we all have to suffer through the misery of work and other such horrors. So let us wash the stain away with the Great Mondaydact Browser Bleacher.

This week, we get off to a riotous and extremely politically incorrect start, with one of the best comedy shows ever to emerge out of PommieBastardLande:
