That's funny, I actually know the guy in the Kerry jersey on the bottom left. Great pic.

[Strewelpeter]

The guy standing up top left really does look like Kayroo. (Its not)

[Angry-Ball]

the brother just texted from australia, and said he was just talking to a friend of his who had to go to russia working because he had no work in ireland. so he texted me to see how bad things were. so i sent him back a 3kb text/mutimedia message about the state of this sorry country, don't think he will be asking again

Any ideas how many will be playing this Betfair thing? Im half tempted to travel up for this freeroll at 15:00 id imagine there wont be more than 20 runners. In saying that i also emailed them to see if i could transfer the package.

As danny asked last night could anyone point out some low budget accomadation near the fitz? Also where could you leave a car near there during the day?

I was just talking to Dave, he's hoping for 80/90 runners, prob a bit on the optimistic side!

That freeroll sounds sweet, 2 packages for the tournie in Spain up for grabs and as you say, can't see that many turning up,myself included.

There's a 'players party' in the Odeon tonight, you heading Enda,Strewl?
I think I probably won't head up until the morning.

I dont know really in 2 minds about all of it. If they allow a transfer im getting rid of the ticket. Im pretty free tonight/now but il be getting some grief of the Gf if im not around tomorrow night/Sunday.

That tournament in spain starts the day im back from Vegas so i dunno what the story would be if i did go up and win it.

If i go up tonight il be going in the next hour or so to play the freeroll otherwise cant justify throwing out the money on accomadation.

They really haven't pushed it very hard but with it being in the Fitz I'd guess they will get at least 50.

I'm gonna try to make it in to the freeroll if I can get enough things finished in work. Doubt I'll go to the Odeon, if I'm in town I'd be more likely to stay in and play Fitz scalps.

No trade on paper, but had my own buisness for about 8 years, had 20 men working for me, herself works for EMC. Was thinking of going for state sponsorship but it will take about 12months, was thinking of heading over in Jan on my own to see if i could pick something up, had Brisbane in mind, where you heading for?

Pulled off possibly the greatest blag of my life last night.
Well was party to it.
Last night I was in Snow Patrol and got VIP'd in lillies with free drinks, private table, numerous hangers on and idiots asking for autographs and pictures.

Support found a server issue apparently, after saying for days there was none. I knew there had to be something though given the sudden deterioration. Hopefully that is solved now, although I remain somewhat sceptical.

Well initally the phrase west brit was used to describe Irish people in the 19th century who were if you like becoming more british than the british themselve, Arthur Guinness certainly didnt fall into this category and was infact an activist against the union and wanted Ireland to have a seperate government, he was a supporter of Henry Grattan in this matter.

Of course nowadays we munster rugby fans just label anyone in a Leinster jersey a west brit, cos it coool

I missed out on mine by a matter of days, Bah. Planning on going in mid-January so it's likely pushed back a little bit, not a major deal, but I'd love to have had it all sorted before then. Congrats on yours.

Brit, West Brit, Welsh,Who gives a fuck.

[Raoul Duke III]

A West Brit isn't a protestant, it is someone who believes there is something inferior about the Irish race and country when compared to the English.

don't tell me, tell RB Blogger!

personally I don't think there is any such thing as West Brits. I think it says a lot more about people who use the term than those who it is perjoratively aimed at.

Oh dear.

Protestantism is part of Irish culture.You only have to look at the colours within national flag (first flown in Waterford by a Waterford man) to see the symbolic representation of peace between Catholic and Protestant.

So there.
