Talk about your bloody clichés. Was that game of rugby ever a game of two halves?

My first half commentary could be summarised as “fucking, french fuckers, and fucking stupid silly mistakes”, or to reduce that even further: FUCK!”

Lets look at the score timeline:

• 3 min.s and the french score a try 5-0
• 7 min.s and another french try. Converted. 12-0
• 18 min.s and guess what? Another French try. Also converted. 19-0
• 28 min.s sees Ireland’s first score. A penalty. 19-3
• 30 min.s and France erase Ireland’s score with a penalty of their own. 22-3
• 38 min.s, and a huge error by Murphy sees France get in for yet another try. Once more converted. 29-3

Half time, and we are all thinking of turning the telly off, cause this is just humiliating.

• 45. min.s and France continue on their Try scoring ways. Converted. 36-3
• 48 min.s and a block down from an O’Gara kick sees France’s SIXTH try 43-3
• 58 min.s sees us score our first try. Converted. Not much a reason for celebration as the score is still 43-10
• 61 min.s - Another Irish try. converted. 43-17
• 67 min.s and O’Callaghan makes it three for Ireland. Converted. 43-24
• 70 min.s and why the hell didn’t we play like this in first half; A converted try makes it 43-31

And that was the final score. 43-31. 6 tries to 4. Can you imagine, ten tries in the one game!

So did France take their foot off the pedal and allow Ireland back into the game? Or did Ireland’s work in the first half wear the French down enough so that they just weren’t capable of maintaining that level of defence in the second half.

Here’s hoping, against all reality, that Italy beat England.

Sometimes people really make you wonder if they have brains at all. I mean, if you are sitting at a computer, in a public place, where the monitors face the room would you really be looking at porn?

Well, would you?

Cause thats what some of the students were doing today. There I was, at the desk, doing up Resource Folder lists^[1] when I noticed that one of the fellas on the computer was browsing through a load of images. So I watched for a while, trying to decide whether I’d go tell him that “library P.C.s are for research only”, when I noticed him lean over to his friend, asking him to move so he would block the screen. This made me wonder what exactly he was trying to hide.

My interest was rewarded by seeing the top of a huge image begin to load. Thank god our computers aren’t too fast As I stood up porn-boy’s friend noticed and said something. Porn-boy clicked out of there pretty quickly, let me tell you.

But that did not annoy I. On no. Instead I pointedly told him that “you shouldn’t be looking at things like that here” and then took a look at what his friend, who shall henceforth be known as Porno-mate, had on the computer. A flash game. So, despite the fact that I often use webland for games and what not I made him shut that down. I also made porno-mate shut down his email, as technically email isn’t allowed in the library. Hee. I was going to flick through the stuff they had printed off, but decided not to risk my eyesight.

I don’t really care if the students look at porn. Once they aren’t stupid enough to do it on the library computers where everyone can see exactly what they are looking at. Plus, we’ve been hit by a load of viruses lately, not to mention spyware. A lot of which probably comes from porn sites, and game sites.

I must pay more attention to what the students are using webland from. It is fun to make them stop. Power-mad? me? I hardly think so. I’m still letting you read this blog, amn’t I?
