Duke attempts the Impossible

[duke3016]

$3.60 -- against the buy in thats a infinite percentage

[Laxie]

Whatever about the money...well done on the finish!!!

OK Braved the wind and the snow and arrived in Swindon.

Discovery so far.

1) T-Mobile 3G stinks
2) Swisscom should be ashamed of their charges when in hotel rooms

However I am now connected.

The trip down was unassuming but it never ceases to amaze me the amount of muppets that purchase their licence in ASDA and then take to the roads. Will freshen up go to the bar for a few and be on line later on.

£12 for 24hours on the tinternet FFS (sod T-mobile thats free for me and its pants)

You have to laugh at the MP"s expense scandal,

1) they are being asked to pay back £1.3 million after the review by Sir Thomas Legg

2) Cost of said review £1.16 million

So at least that"s a profit then

it was his expensese bill that drove up the cost of the review...
new pen, new desk, new paper, new paperbin, gold plated.  Transfering the hanging gardens of babylon for a better view...it all costs money you know.

Back at home for the weekend, might not be in Swindon next week as there are things afoot in head office and I need to be there (phew Swindon isn"t the liveliest of towns). Off to the Shell Club "aquarium" for a wee game tonight - expect bad beat stories to follow.

I did write a wee while ago about Marie cleaning out her room. So I decided to do a blitz on the rest of this spectacularly untidy house. I ordered a skip because I would go mental driving to and from the tip.

Skip duly arrived this morning and Marie's rubbish is now in the skip.

Problem is, its fecking half full already, Ok cover me Ger's room is next, bearing in mind he always sleeps on the couch you'd think his room would be kinda ok.

WRONG !!!!

Final tabled the fish game last night where I was dumped out after I made an inspired shove with 8 3 sooted. Got called by KQ, Guinness FTW

Half time in the Rugby - Ireland 23 Italy 8 (courtesy of as soft try).

We will take this one but must eliminate the mistakes....

[duke3016]

If we continue to play like this against anyone else we will be punished FACT. Need to keep the ball cos the kicking ain"t working.

[duke3016]

29-11 - can"t muster any enthusiasm on the display - but a wins a win

[Laxie]

Missed the match and from the sounds of it - just as well.  Nothing worse than watching a sloppy win.  

[technolog]

Yes poor display from Ireland but they"ll be a different team next week against the French.

Reasonable start from England and greatly helped by an error-strewn performance from the Welsh.

[MintTrav]

Good day for France. With home advantage, I think they are likely to push Ireland into 2nd place this year, though the top two places could well be reversed next year when Ireland are at home. Then roll on the World Cup.
