I'm told there's a clip in the Irish Daily Star today mentioning bits of the Dublin night, and the Morrissey Buffet Menu at the Jury's Inn - can anyone scan this? Ta.

> Why the added bit to your name Uncleskinny?

Because some loon (have a guess) hijacked my name, and now I have to post under other names. It will be rectified soon.

who is the loon and how did they hijack a registered account?
 
it's only possible to hijack a registered account if that user posts under MANY other names, ahem!
 
I don't have scanner, but here's the text. (excuse the typing)

MORRISSEY LUNCH MEATS OPPOSITION
BY KEVIN MARRINAN

Fans of the vegetarian pop star Morrissey were dismayed to find that a special 'Morrissey Buffet' laid on at a Dublin hotel before his Irish concert contained MEAT dishes.
Many of the moody Manchester man's most loyal supporters called in to Jury's Inn on the way to the gig at the nearby Point Theatre - but they were shocked to find the menu, which included a photograph of the singer, contained meat.
Morrissey is famous for his hatred of the meat industry and his championing of animal rights campaigns. In 1985 his then band The Smiths released the Meat Is Murder album which is thought to have turned millions of people around the world to become vegetarian.

MASTERMIND
One of Morrissey's most ardent fans, Peter Finan - who has appeared on TV show Mastermind answering questions about the star - had travelled from Yorkshire in England and was a guest at the hotel.
He said: "The menu was about 70% meat. I was shocked."
A source close to Morrissey said yesterday: "Morrissey was not aware of this menu. But I am surprised his name and picture were used to promote an industry that causes the torture and death of millions of animals every year."
Nobody from the hotel was available to comment.
 
Is that you they quoted, Uncleskinny?

Nice to meet you by the way.

Yeah, that's me. Mike - you'll have to remind me - was it at the Hub? I was getting 'tired and emotional' bit by bit.

Best Regards,

Yeah at the Hub (outside it to be more precise) too briefly.
Well I have an "altar ego" if you get my drift!

Well I told anyone I met the trinity of names I post under.
The only other one is a puky version of your own..
Foolish and childish, but they're all related to posts I make.

Would like to have seen that Mastermind thing.
Heard about that ages ago.
Along similar but not so illustrious lines,
I'm doing something for The Smiths symposium.
