    11. mine are under the cut

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.

Linknotes:
  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 ↩

Surely you can be happy that you did better than last week Anne? Besides, everyone knows that the ABs always peak to early for the world cup ;) I’m just hoping that Ireland aren’t following suit.

Old thing off Have I got News for You. Group 4 Security were in charge of a bunch of prisons when some comical escapage happened all over the course of a week or someting. Twas a running gag. Hence “insecurity”. As in ‘not very secure’ security firm.

Ta da! No, it’s not funny, it’s just an association.

Hey SOB, I figured that was the case all right. Found two and rescued them, so you should be sorted from now on. (One of the two was a duplicate, so I deleted it)
