Well at least we won the argument about the roof. It remained open and that was just about the best thing that could be said about the rugby match with Wales. In fact maybe they should just have closed it. We were poor, very poor as they calmly strutted to another Grand Slam. It was all too easy for them.
Our half backs were woeful and should have been substituted earlier. Maybe it’s a blessing that Joe Shmidt will be gone soon.
The biggest surpise of course was Scotland. I really should have watched the whole match rather than switching over after England were 24 points up. It was Twitter that much to my disbelief informed me they had come back to draw. Never seen that one coming, at first I presumed Twitter had been hacked or something.
Of course none of this is good for Irish rugby, even though everyone likes England to do badly as Scotland are in our pool. The least thing we need is the ignomy of getting knocked out in the first round.
So anyway readers, I’m still writing way. Over 15,000 words done for the “Irish Ripper”. Almost finished a particularity gruesome scene. If I can manage it timewise, I’m going to start writing short stories about a paraplegic Irish detective who appears in the novel to whet peoples’ appetites. Maybe an odd sci-fi one too.
I watched Deadpool 2 earlier. Definitely strongly recommend that you watch it. It’s almost as good as the original but not quite. If you don’t know what I’m raving on about then lucky you, you get to see them for the first time.
Till next time..
