Blog from the bog

There are many problems to consider when attempting to write a blog from the bog.
First off, the ESB have given us remote rural dwellers a thing called 'limited access service' which basically means we have to pay our ESB bills while recieving only two hours power a day, if we're lucky.

Then theres the net connection itself. We dont have eircom in the sticks. Not since Mrs Bollard committed suicide after she saw a "talking white banana". So there goes dial up. We also have no mobile broadband because? You guessed it, we live in the sticks.

Then theres another little problem. Remote rural dwellers are supersitious. The idea of a box communicating information scares them, and god knows they're only too ready to grab the pitch forks and the petrol and go on a salem rampage.

What this means is that there is only one active internet point in a fifty mile radius of here. We keep our battered pc hidden in the dull auld lords hay shed.

So is it worth it?

Risking being labled a warlock and getting burned at the stake.
Having to walk four miles through fields of nettles and mutant carnivore sheep just to reach a battered pc.
Having to pay the dull auld lord sexual favours to enter his hay shed.

No, but its better than working, and of course, theres the porn to watch.

But its about more than that.

Like the downtrodden people of China, Venezuela, Cuba...and Cork...
We just want to get our message out.
HELP.
