I was at Croke Park today. As a witness you’d think I’d therefore have some clue what was going on, but, omg, wtf was that?
The first half was okay. We made some chances and really should have been further ahead. But the second half was just plain poor. The lineout was atrocious. How is it that Munster can be playing so well yet many of the very same players are so just not doing anything in the green shirt? I can only blame Eddie O’Sullivan. I’m rolling with the bandwagon here, I know, but honestly, I can’t come up with any other explanation.
Gordan D’Arcy’s injury was unfortunate as he wasn’t bad, but he has’t been anywhere near his best in a long while. In the “A” game Bowe played well, I wonder will O’Sullivan call him into the squad for the next match?
Today is James Joyce’s birthday, so I could have used one of his quotes as a title, but I decided instead to go with a line from George Hook, grump extraordinaire.

Or so one of the papers put it. All I can say is OMFG! 2-1. Two-one!? First of all, we only managed to score two goals! and second of all we let San Marino score. San Ma-fucking-rino? There aren’t enough exclamation marks in the world to convey my shock.
I mean, we all expected at least 5 goals, didn’t we?
And yet, there was something horribly predictable about last night’s match, and although we had a few goal chances we never really looked out of sight of San Marino[1] Wales must be laughing at the thought of their visit to Croke Park.

or, alternatively. WTFF![1] .Words fail me. I just can’t verbalise any reaction to this at all. Luckily typing requires no verbalisation so tada! you get yourself a post.
Johnny! Look at what time has done to your beautiful body[2]
And though your dancemoves are still as great, I’m not too sure if they work with a rap.
I had heard about this a few weeks ago, but paid no mind, but with that video. It’s… it’s… I just have nothing else to say.

I’m bemused[1] My eyebrows are raised in a very “wtf are you on” sort of way.
The thing is, I’m well aware that some people don’t know that Ireland isn’t part of Britain. And no offence to my American bloggers, but often those some people come from the US, so they have an excuse. Not like it actually matters to them when they come over on holiday, apart from the fact that we don’t share a currency. But you don’t need a passport to travel[2] between Britain and Ireland, so you might think things that are wrong.
But when British people think it? I mean. WTF![3] But maybe it is just the listeners of Chris Moyle’s radio show? I dunno. But seriously, WTF?
One [learned listener] called in to say he always thought Ireland was in Britain and this was backed up with more texts from listeners who also felt the same.
Moyles hit back by saying: “It’s like saying the French are German if you say the Irish are British.�
*please insert your own version of my[4] mini-rant about 800[5] years of bloody struggle etc, violence, etc, blah blah blah. mention 1920’s. Not forgetting Treaties. Oh yeah, and actual independence. And the fact that we’re a republic*
So, people of Britain, let me assure you, Bob Geldof is not British. He is, in fact, Irish. You can be Irish and British.[6] but only if you live in Northern Ireland. Which isn’t where Bob is from. He’s from Dublin. Which is in Ireland, aka Éire[7] often refered to as the Republic of Ireland. Now concentrate, and then think again about whether Bob Geldof is British.
Maybe they’ve all been down the local library and been browsing through their Dewey Decimal system manuals, and discovered that Britain & Ireland are covered under the term The British Isles? And that is where the mistake comes from?

Do you ever come across something and suddenly realise that this is exactly what the phrase “what the fuck” was made for?
Today Guinness are testing out their brand spanking new idea[1] which is to release a version of the pint with a lower alcohol content. Fair enough, I don’t drink Guinness so I don’t really care. But then I read some of the reactions in the Irish Indo[2] .
before I quote these wonderful people of Limerick let me just share some links with you: Eight people killed on roads in little over 24 hours (subs) ; Drive and Stay Alive (I won’t comment on the “Southern Ireland” aspect) ; Road Beaths - Behaviour of Drivers must be altered ; On Endless Road safety Reports, und so weiter.
I’m guessing you didn’t click did you? You did get the message though, that road safety is a big issue at the moment in Ireland. So, can you guess what the low-alcohol-Guinness-testers said:
“If I am driving, the drink I would have is a glass of Guinness so having this lower alcohol option is really good for someone like me … I don’t drive but I would certainly be more comfortable getting into a car with someone who has had a glass of this new Guiness than someone on the regular brew.”
Now I’m well aware that one drink will not put the majority of people over the limit, but honestly.
