Oh Boy O'boy - Tim O'Brien & The O'Boys

Absolute O'Brien?

Advantages: If you take it as being jocular, it's quite amusing in places.
Disadvantages: Creepy to the upmost!

later, I unravelled the pink wrapping paper to find a florescent pink CD poking through the corners. Oh dear... My immediate thought was that this CD would merely be a collection of mediocre joke tracks, capitalising on O'Brien's obvious charming personality. In truth, the CD was something completely different all together... 1. Incubus of Love (6.50) When I saw the opening track's title, my initial response was just to laugh.

Review of O - Damien Rice

An ordinary boy...not so ordinary circumstances

Advantages: True, first half of book is amazing, educational as well

vicar, but this is called procrastination, and I've been working on them for the last several hours.) Boring Stuff Title: Tim: An Ordinary Boy Author: Colin and Wendy Parry (although the book seems to be from Colin's perspective) Genre: Biography Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd; New Ed edition (3 Aug 1995) ISBN-13: 978-0340617908 Price: Amazon: from £.0.01 at time of writing, Background Colin and Wendy Parry are two remarkable figures who did a great deal of work towards the IRA ceasefire and eventual peace in 1994. However, this on its own would not be that remarkable, if these two people did not have every reason to be filled with hatred and bitterness towards the people they were trying to help...and being able to turn that bitterness into an instinct to bring together the very people who have hurt you really ...
