I’m a firm believer in being as positive as possible until the moment when it’s out of your hands
Okay, so I did say that it was the end of the road as far as me and optimism were concerned. But I’m so not down with the whole negativity thing that is going on in the meeja at the moment. We are all[1] disappointed. But as Emmet Byrne said on d’telly last night it […] (via Susan Hated Literature)
I had such fuckin’ hopes for us
I’ve been out. Doing things. You know, that I shouldn’t be, *glances warily around* going places I shouldn’t.
Yup. Shopping again. It’s shocking[1] how easy it is to spend money when you don’t have to hand over any actual cash. Just flash the plastic and away you go[2] Crazy easy it is. And not only am […] (via Susan Hated Literature)

Yeah. So. Optimism…
I think I’ll revert to my usual pessimism from now on.

Shoulder to shoulder
I am not, in general, an overly optimistic person. Especially where Irish sport is concerned. Hopeful, always, but confident that we’ll win? Rarely.
And this isn’t a new thing. Back in the heady days of Italia ‘90 when the entire country was caught up in football-fever I can remember being asked if I though we’d win […] (via Susan Hated Literature)
Top o’de mornin’
Having just seen the trailer for P.S. I love you can I just say one thing. NO ONE IN IRELAND TALKS LIKE THAT.
Thank you for your attention.

She wants that delicacy of tint, and mellowness of sneer, which distinguishes
I broke my pen just now. It isn’t a fancy-arsed pen or anything. But still annoying, don’t you think. It is one of those generic bic-esque pens. With the twisty end that keeps the ink-refill part from moving. You know the type? With my ever-so-accurate description you really should know it. Anyway; I have a […] (via Susan Hated Literature)

It’s an absolutely appalling rumour and has no foundation whatsoever, In fact, he’s sitting across the table happily eating his dinner as we speak.
It is a bit chilly out this morning. But sunny so far, so its all good, plus, I suppose it is really and truly Autumn now, so I can’t complain.
I know, I know, talking about the weather, not exactly a gripping start to a post, and after I’ve been a tad lackadaisical about updating, but […] (via Susan Hated Literature)

Week 240
Okay, quick mention of the RWC again, I’m going to remain positive. I didn’t watch much of the post-match dissection on the telly, it would have annoyed me far too much, but I did catch a couple of interviews with the players, and at least they were all brutally honest about the performance. And as […] (via Susan Hated Literature)
You can’t put any spin on that performance
Honesty from Eddie O’Sullivan; a shocking game. Not up to par. Etc.

It began on a rain, heading north through England, although I was soon to discover that the story had really begun more than a hundred years earlier.

Shock shock, horror horror
Talk about entertaining rugby matches. Okay, so we might not have had the “free-flowing champagne” rugby that certain quarters yearn for, but for sheer tension and not knowing what was going to happen this opener to the World Cup was more than sufficient. And 17-12 to Argentina! I’m delighra.
Although maybe I shouldn’t be. Will we […] (via Susan Hated Literature)
Tonight is the night
As you can see I’ve changed the header because the 2007 RWC kicks off today. I’ve also finally gotten around to adding a link to The Fear of God that’ll stay over there on the right for the duration of the competition.
I was talking to one of the students about Ireland’s chances, and over the […] (via Susan Hated Literature)

Final Countdown
So the RWC starts tomorrow. And there are many, many, many fantasy leagues out there. The most difficult that I’ve come across is the official one, because 1) you have a budget, and 2) you can only pick 2 players from each country. Are they insane? I’ve just ended up with a team with no […] (via Susan Hated Literature)
