Taking the stairs from now on.

Whew... the boss wasn't at all happy about my comments on the RTE football pundits. I just met him at the lift and got the old Alex Ferguson hairdryer treatment. It seems he is a big fan of John Giles and didn't like my implying that he wasn't relevant any more to Irish football. 

I tried to explain that my beef wasn't with Mr. Giles but rather with Commander Dunphy. Unfortunately there was no explaining to the boss, by the time we got to the first floor I had received a blitz synopsis of Giles' illustrious career, as we passed the second floor I was getting the "honesty of effort" treatment. By the time we reached the third floor he was into " respect for experience" and then suddenly as we reached the fourth floor he realised that he had wanted to get out at the second floor and with a harumph and a scowl in my direction he marched out of the lift and back down the stairs. 

That's a real pity. I wanted to tell him that we had raised €3500- last count for the Marie Keating Foundation with sales of  the Jivo earphones . I knew he'd be happy about that but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to tell him. Maybe he'll read this post and his humor will improve.
