90 minutes waiting to get through passport control at probably the smallest commercial airport I've ever been through in Limoges. Awful WiFi...town is a kip....sometimes it's hard to like France.

Ended up with one of my worst sunburns ever, before going out to a massive party, only to get home the next day to a phenomenal bollocking, as my parents had found out I smoked by watching me on the telly all day puffing away watching the tennis. Good times!This too shall pass.

Irish mammy always wanted to go Wimbledon, Irish mammy gets centre court
Kayroo, when you sort it ask her if she wants to do two days one day centre court, other day on the doss!

Tip for anyone going to Wimbledon
Spend as little time in Southfields as possible
Grand place to live but...
Bookies nearly shat themselves when I showed up with a £500 ish winning docket
Pub served me a well done steak when asked for med-rare and thought it was ok to do that (wanna be Irish girl with the great tits is cool though)
Shit chipper!!!
Decent butchers
Nothing else to see!

They can be got if you want to pay for them, suspect mens 1/4 final c.£600ea for the top end ones. When you want to go gimme a shout as il have a few numbers in my phone from where they can be sourced.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

I got my folks to a Wimbledon QF in the 90's through a business thing, I'd half forgotten all about that, I think my Mother loved it but probably wasn't in the ha'penny place for her as when I brought her to Mount Juliet for the open in the early 90's and we got to go around with the likes of Seve, Faldo and
Langer who won it.
Certainly very memorable for me, so advice to Kayroo is just do it don't be hanging around.Turning millions into thousands

Went to and Irish restaurant last night and it was honestly one of the best meals I've had.
Main course was a next level Irish stew, but highlight was crab and black pudding appetiser. The chef is a nose to tail type, butchers the whole pig, makes his own black pudding fresh. Taste was amazing, noticeably different to commercial stuff that presumable pre-boiled.
The chef came over to the table afterwards. He's originally from blanch (the judge on MyKitchenRules if anyone knows it) and was joking around. I mentioned the pudding was great and how it's hard to get good pudding over here. He goes "it's easy to make, the recipes in my cookbook ".
We finish our drinks and beer are about to leave when the chef comes back over with two plastic takeaway trays. Both full of black pudding. Deadly.

Some random English number rang me a while ago. Asian sounding girl...
Rep -"Hello, we would like to talk to you about online earning. Have you ever tried earning online?"
Me - "I currently turn over over €200m online per annum"
*Silence
Me- "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Rep - "No, you can hang up"

Very interesting list of what MIT Review consider the 50 Smartest companies currently operating
Each year we identify 50 companies creating new opportunities by combining disruptive technologies and business savvy. Some are large companies that seem to be growing ever larger, like Amazon and Apple. Others, like IBM, or General Electric are old-guard giants betting on technology renewal. And the list is full of ambitious startups like SpaceX, which is changing the economics of space travel with…Turning millions into thousands

Thats kinda sick.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Also, making members of the press "the" story is hardly what is needed.
I was listening to an ex-press pool reporter earlier and he said that the any good reporter worth his salt wouldn't depend on the White House press briefings for their news.
And if they were following an actual story they would never ask the press secretary in front of the press pool as it would let all the other reporters know what they were working on and risk losing their scoop.
Basically he was saying the white house press pool are lazy bottom feeders.

In fairness the guy is in the news quite a bit,I'm not on any social media but hard to avoid this guys clearly staged to go viral photo ops if you are a news junkie (which is prob as bad a habit as social media in fairness)
