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.
Well, 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.
