An expert is a person who avoids small error as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy

Published by Fence under Ramblings

What is it about the Irish blogosphere that we seem to be constantly saying there should be more women blogging. Pschaw. Who needs more bloggers? Let alone more women bloggers. If they all just came here and left inane[1] comments on my blog, well that’d be all to the good wouldn’t it?

And as for this expert list, or list of experts if you will[2] well, I demand to be listed. Course limiting my expertise to just one topic would be tough. We[3] all know that I know everything[4] there is to know about everything. And then some. Possibly I should be the Jack-of-all-trades-expert. But that sorta implies that I’m not really an expert, when clearly[5] I am.

This, therefore, is your challenge, to come up with a classy and not at all silly title for my personal expertedness.

And while I’m here and typing, isn’t it weird what some spellchecks insist aren’t real words. Blog, for example. Bloggers is another one. And expertedness, when clearly that is a word that is most definitely real and not at all made up!

  1. to lower the tone of course
  2. I just needed the extra words for the linkage, see
  3. okay, okay, I know
  4. i know, too much use of the word know in the one sentence, but I don’t care. And you already know that, right
  5. I can see you all nodding in agreement

So Sat we got our digital stations all hooked up. We now have something like 50 or 60 of ‘em, and yet there is still nothing on[1]

On Sunday I got a text at around half eleven, from a brother informing me they were in Maynooth. So I had to head out in that horrible weather and meet them[2] take them shopping for foodstuffs and whatnot before they headed off to the rugby.

And three hours later, watching the match on the telly, I figured they’d be soaked as the rain was bucketing down, and Lansdowne is well known for its “swirling breeze”. But no, their seats were right in under the tier so they were nice and dry. I is a genius with my ticket buying isn’t I?[3] More importantly, the match itself was fabtabulous.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usWell, the first half was. From Ireland. The Aussies may now be blaming the weather but, in mature reasoned tones I say to them, Ha-Ha, sickened[4] on ya!

And what’s the story with the agro? What is it about Australians that they have to resort to violence when playing against us. First the International Rules match, and now in the rugby too.From now on all sporting encounters between Ireland and Australia will have to display a “warning, may contain extra helpings of violence” sticker. Though, in fairness it wasn’t really all that violence, more a bit of a “dude, who you talking to!”

So far, so good in the Autumn[5] Internationals, 2 out of 2. And next week the Pacific Islanders who seem to not play in the first half and then come out, all guns blazing in the second, but with too much to do. Wonder what sort of a team Eddie’ll pick for next Sunday.

  1. all together now, 57 channels and…
  2. #4 and #5
  3. let us ignore the fact that I didn’t actually chose them okay.
  4. a Sligo term that pretty much means Ha-Ha
  5. I’m pretty sure we are well into winter so why they are called Autumn Internationals is beyond me
