C'mon Munster


Munster meet Leinster in the semi final of the Heineken Cup today - somewhat of a local derby in the competition. It's sure to be a great match. Our Leinster cousins are torn between two provinces.....watch out Leinster - this is a real jersey!

Nothing to Crow about!

Can you believe it. Our first weekend home in Blarney for ages and I'm awake since 6.15am. Never mind, next week is a bank holiday weekend and we'll be off to Kilkee for the weekend.Will stay in Jim and Ann's caravan (Thanks lads).

The last time we stayed down there was at the tail end of summer 05.For all you people that have stayed over in 'vans this will be familiar to you. We were out late at the greyhound bar with Ann and Jim and had a few drinks to boot. The next morning at some ungodly hour we are rudely awakened by the sound of birds walking all over the roof and, of course, the head is pounding to the sound of their screeching.After a couple of painkillers and a Berocca I was naturally inspired to put pen to paper:-

Mr Crow

Why Mr Crow do you shout for Bob,
When you should be out there looking for a job,
Go, try and earn an honest bob,
Instead of looking for a place to rob

Why Mr Crow do you spend all day
Screeching at the sky in a most annoying way
I'd really love to make you pay
Cos all your noise has wakened Kay

Please Mr Crow wont you just move on
Im sick of your monotonous song
You've been on the roof for way too long
And what your doing, it must be wrong

Mr Crow, I"ll ask once more
Please go through the exit door
Cos you've got me crawling on the floor
And my head and ears are really sore

Hey Crow, my temper's wearing thin
I just cant stand your awful din
If you could see the state Im in
you'd fly away, cos it's a sin

That's it Crow, you've had your fun
You think you are the number one
But your time is up, you'd better run
Cos I've gone out and bought a gun!

Suncream and Beer !



The holiday is over and the tan is fading as quickly as the holiday rep when you need assistance. Whoever said holidays are relaxing needs their head examined. eight hours lying by a pool folowed by a 3 course meal in a restaurant, then beer and wine can be exhausting. Especially when you repeat this the following day!

We had hoped to at least get a break from gridlock and traffic jams but, as you can see, they were unavoidable.



Never mind, next stop Kilkee
