WHAT A STRANGE PADDIES DAY

ST PATRICKS DAY 2007 WAS ONE OF THE STRANGEST ONES EVER? WHY YOU ASK?WELL FOR A START WE THOUGHT WE HAD A CHANCE OF WINNING THE SIX NATIONS RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP,AND WE GAVE OURSELVES AN EVEN BETTER CHANCE BY PLAYING BRILLIANTLY AGAINST ITALY AND BEATING THEM PRETY COMPREHENSIVELY,ALTHOUGH WE STUPIDLY GAVE AWAY A TRY IN THE LAST MINUTE WHILE TRYING TO GET ONE OURSELVES,AND AS IT TRANSPIRED,IT COST US THE TITLE.HOWEVER ALL WAS NOT LOST AND SALVATION CAME IN THE SHAPE OF IRELANDS CRICKET TEAM,YES YOU HEARD RIGHT IRELAND HAVE A CRICKET TEAM,AS WE DISCOVERED THE OTHER DAY WHEN THEY TIED WITH ZIMBABWE,WHICH IN ITSELF WE THOUGHT WAS PRETTY GOOD,BUT YESTERDAY WE BEAT PAKISTAN,CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT,PAKISTAN.THEY ARE NOW OUT AND WE SHOULD GO THROUGH TO THE LATTER STAGES OF THE WORLD CUP OF CRICKET.NOW I COULDNT NAME YOU MORE THAN A COUPLE OF OUR PLAYERS NEVER MIND WHERE THEY ARE FROM BUT SURE WHO CARES WHERE THEY ARE FROM,THE BLARNEY ARMY CERTAINLY WONT MIND THAT,AND LETS BE HONEST HERE HOW ENGLISH IS KEVIN PIETERSEN,GARETH JONES,ANDREW STRAUSS,ALAN LAMB,ROBIN SMITH,GRAHAM HICK,ANDY CADDICK AND OF COURSE OUR OWN ED JOYCE,NEED I GO ON,I REST MY CASE.
LAST NIGHT WE CELEBRATED THE OUL SAINTS DAY IN TRADITIONAL STYLE WITH SONGS AND STORIES AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF BULL,BUT IT WAS GREAT CRACK,AND TODAY WE HAD MOTHERS DAY WHICH WENT OFF QUITE WELL I THINK WITH ALL THE MOTHERS SEEMINGLY HAPPY,AND NO TROUBLE FROM ANY OF THEM.GONNA SIGN OFF NOW,FEELIN A BIT TIRED AND NEED TO REST.
