What’s it all About?
Well it seems I have found an audience. Hello all, welcome to the old place. Please feel free to have a good dig around. On your right you will find some links to the fiction stories and a run down on the characters. In case you don’t know, I’m The Gurrier Murphy, or that grumpy auld bollix, if you would prefer. The purpose of this site is to give me a place to get this stuff out of my head, before I have to kill again. This site is here to entertain and amuse and provide a space for me to work on ideas, stories and store general research material. Most of it will be half baked rubbish, but I hope some will hit the mark.
I’m looking to beta test the fiction here and I am open to all manner of comments and opinions, if you feel moved to share them. I don’t bite, much. If you wish to contact me directly, then by all means send your spittle flecked outrage to murphy(at)thegurrier.com. I can’t promise I will appreciate all your input, but there is no point in doing this unless you have a thick skin. So thicken my skin, make me angry. You might like me when I’m angry.
Dissenters do me a service. They are my Nixons. Everyone needs a Nixon. Especially me since we killed Dirty John with our hate. He was my Nixon and he’s all gone now. He shrivelled up and died one day. I think I hated him to death. Please feel free to dissent. I may come and shit in your letterbox, but then again who hasn’t done that from time to time.
Also, this is a satirical website, hosting FICTION. Fiction, it did not happen, any of it. It’s all made up, except the bits that aren’t. (Dear Ben Affleck’s lawyers the fish knives thing was satire, yes satire, in conclusion satire. Knives, lovely knives)
The Author
Donal ‘The Gurrier’ Murphy has lived in Dublin all his life. He lives in the abandoned tunnels beneath the Phoenix Park and survives off stout, Liffey water and the occasional jogger. He does not believe in personal hygiene, Jesus or Fianna Fail and claims they are all fictions created by RTE to gouge the public for the license fee. In his short career he has been banned from every Dunnes stores in Dublin and is the only citizen barred from drinking at public water fountains during the hours of daylight.
He keeps detailed files on his many personal enemies and one day hopes to increase his fortune by hawking these lies to the highest bidder. In the meantime they are presented here for your amusement and edification.
The site
This site will host a collection of writings compiled over the past six or seven years and new missives. Further excerpts in the adventures of The Gurrier Murphy and his enemies can be found over at beerandloathing.
To the dismay of many Beerandloathing has lain dormant for several years now, but remains a stubborn, festering boil in the arserut of the internets. Lance it at your peril.
