TIME JUST FLIES BY

Its nearly a week since i was last on,amazing really.When i was a lad time went slowly,very slowly.Now it flies past and things you were looking forward to become a distant memory,which i suppose is about all your left with in the end is memories.Thats what keeps you strong,good memories.I think in that respect i am lucky,i have great memories of many many great moments in my life and around my life.I will always strive to attend the things i love.One of the things i have loved since i was a small boy is National Hunt Racing or Steeplechasing as we paddies call it.Most of the people who would read this probably never even get to my page but future generations will and just in case they ever become so politically correct that they ban steeplechasing i am going to tell you where the name came from.It originated in Buttevant Co Cork in 1752 where two men had a wager on a horse race between the church steeple at Buttevant and the church steeple at Donerail 4 miles away.Now theres a little bit of history for you all.The reason for talking about this is Cheltenham is just around the corner.This is the biggest Irish race meeting held in England,well thats just a paddy joke really,but boats and planes will be leaving Ireland in a few weeks to head for one of the most beautiful areas i know,the Cotswolds,and the annual battle held over four day every year.Its a mighty occasion and hopefully i will get there on one day at least.My nap for the meeting will be short priced but it will win i hope,KASBAH BLISS.So there you have it see you soon

VALENTINES AND ALL IT BRINGS

As anyone who is in love will know yesterday was your special day.When i had a girl friend i always made an effort on this day, one, because most girls like it and most girls expect something.Last night the princess(Adriana) came into her special field of Romance with a capital R.She dressed the place beautifully with roses,rose petals,candles and Johnny backed her up with a magnificent menu.We also had romantic music mking it a very speial night for lovers.The rest of us had to make do with watching WALES beat ENGLAND at rugby which while not romantic was not too hard to bear.
Sadly Teresa and i are no more.Before you start thinking anything it was nothing to do with me,as a matter of fact i still love TERESA very much but as i have said on here many times it takes two to tango and she did not feel the same way,unfortunate for me,but one has to accept these things and move on.We are still very good friends and will remain that way i hope.
On a happier note Ireland beat Georgia on Wed night but i have to say for all you Georgians out there it was one of the worst penalty decisions i have ever seen the ref was a disgrace.But,and you wont know this, it was pay back for unbelievable decisions made against us over the years and believe me there have been many.
England came a cropper against Spain but there is no disgrace in that,Spain are awe some and England had a weak team,missing crucial players.Gonna sign off now its sunday morning and i need my weetabix
