Lemons!
Jul 13 2007
Unfortunately the outlook over the next 24 hours is a bit of a mixed bag
It is still raining.
Someone said 36 days. I’m not so sure but it has been a long time since we had a day without rain.
Now, I know that Ireland is known for being a rainy part of the world. But this has gone far enough, umbrellas are becoming part of hands, they’ve been in use for so long that the handles are melting into skin. Totally not an exaggeration.

Let those terrorists know where you are
Via Damien:
Also a bit of a telly round up: Prison Break is back[1] on RTE 2. Course I’ve been watching Heroes on SciFiUk at that particular time so haven’t been watching it. But thanks to the joys of d’internet I got to watch it last night. I wasn’t overly impressed[2]
Hopefully I’ll be more entertained when Rome makes its come back on Wednesday. And Sunday[3] Which might be awkward as I’m heading up to Sligo this weekend. Don’t wanna be on the train when Lamb and Chicken are back on the screen.
Over the weekend there was a feast of GAA action but there was too much going on. I watched the Limerick v Tipp hurling match on Sat. evening. I was cheering for Limerick, on account of that is where de mudder is from, but I didn’t think they win. And they didn’t. They did however draw. Again. So it’ll be a third replay.
On the face of it Limerick have simply trailed Tipp like a particularly enthusiastic puppy: every time Tipp have tried to shoo them away, Limerick have scampered happily back to their heel. Will Tipp finally rid themselves of the troublesome mutt, or will Limerick eventually bite them on the bum?
On Sunday we had a dilemma to face. Watch the Dublin V Meath replay in the football or switch over and enjoy the Cork V Waterford hurling? A peak audience of 792,000 watched both matches, with 342,000 watching the hurling and 285,000 watching the football, according to the Irish Times[4] but I’d guess that most people did what I ended up doing. Flicking between the two and missing out on most of the action. Luckily we had The Sunday Game later on for all the bits we missed. And the Sligo match. Which we won, by two points, which means that for the first time since 2002 Sligo will be in a Connacht final.

So[1] I’ve started back up the auld quotes site, because, sure why not. I’ve also moved it over here, and so lost[2] everything that was over there. But *shrug* whatever.
If you are thinking of rereading the Harry Potter books before the last book[3] comes out you might want to check out DeadOn
Harlequin mightn’t be too happy with Sean Bean[4] as he is all set to moan lead a delegation to Parliament in support of Sheffield United’s plans to have West Ham docked points. On account of their cheating. Okay, not cheating, just irregularities. And to be honest, the players were only resting at West Ham…
Have you seen London’s logo for the Olympics? Don’t know what is is supposed to be? According to some people it is Lisa Simpson giving someone a blow-job. C’mon now! That’s just nasty.
Also, Muppets! at Helm’s Deep
Also Soupy Norman is one of the greatest ten minute over-dubbed things on de’telly. I haven’t spotted anything up on YouTube yet, but the people who did the dubbing also did Time Trumpet

The fear of god
I didn’t watch the rugby documentary[1] last night. I was watching Medium and the Heroes. And can I just say one little thing to scifi uk? Your ads are the worst, and I will never ever buy the new Tomb Raider game, nor the previous one you advertised, Sparta, or whatever. And why? Because you try and deafen me. Just be glad I’m not in the army or there’d be suing[2] going on[3] .
Medium is a strange mix of telly. In one way it seems kinda relaxed about stuff[4] but on the other hand it seems a bit on the right, politically. You know, with being pro-death penalty and whatnot. But then again, who am I to say you can’t agree with drinking and cussing and be fairly liberal while wanting to kill peoples. It’s all good[5] .
Heroes, as I said before[6] I do like and enjoy. But I don’t really like any of the characters, so I’m a little meh. But it is entertaining and stuff happens[7] and it has Christopher Eccleston[8] in it, even if his character does have a silly name[9] But he is good and grumpy so I likes him. But not a huge amount. And I don’t like cop guy. He’s annoying. I do like Nathan, even if he can be a selfish bastard at times, but he isn’t quite selfish enough to have the “love to hate him” thing going on, and he isn’t “heart of gold” enough to love him. Peter is improving. I didn’t like his do-gooder-ness,[10] but know that he is developing a bit of a backbone its all good. Nikki/Jessica, meh, could do more. The kid is alright, the father a bit of a nothing character so far. Hiro I’m not sure of yet. Claire I do like, and her ebil father.
Almost forgot, the girl, Sara, on last night’s episode[11] of Medium also showed up in an episode of The Inside[12] where she played an evil murdering child. So even though she played a victim here I so didn’t trust her. Evil child.
Anyways, back to the rugby, I have it recorded, but I’m probably going to buy the dvd as it looks more than entertaining, and in a way, better because it recorded the failure to achieve the Grand Slam. I did catch a few seconds and watching the faces of the players as they watched the final few minutes of the France game… excellent telly. And speaking of excellence, did anyone else catch this morning’s Gift Grub[13] ? A day in the life of Paul O’Connell. Genius.
