The Hornet's Nest

Surprised no-one mentioned Gaelic football! When I was in Dublin 18 months ago, it was finals weekend. If I'd known that they were on, and that there had been low ticket sales, I would've gone to Croke Park to watch a game as I used to watch the highlights when they showed that on C4. Surprised one of the Assistant Directors at work who is from Limerick and on the Jersey Gaelic Athletic Association committee that I knew so much about it. The other Gaelic sport, hurling is worse than playing hockey against women (sorry, H but I'm only going on the bruises my friends got from a challenge match at school). I had a friend at Uni who could only straighten one of his fingers due to playing hurling as a youngster - amazed Eoin Morgan can even hold a cricket bat.

 

Nightmare day, got to work, stand alone pc still not working, at least I had limited access via my desktop but could not post on the site AAarrghh! Came home, did my own dinner "memo to self do not pour tomato sauce for pasta into measuring jug whilst wearing what was a white T-shirt" Had dinner, prepared lunch for tomorrow, ironed uniform trews, spoke to the dearly beloved white T-shirt in wash. Now sat down and it is only half eight Still got to water the back garden as well!

 

Evening Al question for you , why is the world full of idiots and why do I have to work for and with them!

 

Fascinating NZ. Do you often have disembodied drill bits appearing out of your walls?

 

Ah the age old question, I bet it was the same when you were in the Mob? as it still goes on today at my place Mr good ideas, which you have to implement and he takes the glory for

 

Only when French workers don't know where they are pointing their drills

 

Hi all

Looks like Jordan Spence is coming back to us on loan

 

Is that good?

 

Who is Jordan Spence?

 

Millens seems happy

 

yeah it is well he says it on his twitter so might be true lol

Surprised though I thought West Ham would be keeping him considering they are in the same division

 

who is that Millens ? Is he related to Frank

 

One of those evenings here, make a comment, big flash of light outside, followed by a banging of clouds bumping into each other and the lights flicker and you lose the internet. Try to speak to someone on the phone and you or they finish up talking to themselves. Man at the Meteo reckons it will carry on all night, so might try to read a bit of my French homework.

Maybe if I leave the computer on there will be a surge and blow this one up. My insurance company paid for a very nice one last time it happened.

 

That weather is supposed to be with us by Thursday

 

with us for the weekend

 

Mme watches Countryfile on the Beeb and they have the weeks anticipated weather forecast. She said on Sunday when they showed the pressure map of Europe that we would have bad weather today and it has turned out correctly.

 

I generally watch Countryfile just for the weather forecast, the good old British interest in weather

 

Tend to use yr.no has its moments lol

 

Is that the topless one?

 

Only when the suns out
