Blather Doesn’t Care – An end of the pseudo-m*llennium special

As we are mere weeks away from the end of the year, Blather would like to make it know that *we don't care* about the (change of) millennium. We don't. Ok? However, we will discuss possible Irish meteorites, Wexford UFOs and other malarkey... 'Blather is here.      As we advance to make our bow, you will in vain for signs of servility or for any evidence of a desire to please. We are an arrogant and depraved body of men. We are as proud as bantams and as vain as peacocks.      "*Blather* doesn't care." A sardonic laugh escapes us as we bow, cruel and cynical hounds that we are. It is a terrible laugh, the laugh of lost men. Do you get the smell of porter?' - from the original *Blather*, issue 1, published in 1934 by Brian O'Nolan a.k.a. Flann O'Brien a.k.a. Myles na gCopaleen. More on Flann...
