I had a great day despite the result. Got on the bus back. Some hooded cock just sat next to me. My mate Rickie, had a wee bit of a catch up. He recently split up with his missus and I said ill try and arrange a bit of a punch up in the next few weeks. Ace.

Burlesque night was a great success. Got a lot of compliments on my old west sheriff meets 80's skinhead meets Conor McGregor look. The beer was good, the girls were hot and the gimmicks all fun (trampoline striptease to an Eddie Izzard monologue, 80's power ballad and perm workout video, Uhuru from Star Trek, girl dressed as a giant pass the parcel, Urkle/Carlton Banks/every black geek from TV hybrid...). It finished early so I finally got to check out Brew Bot as well which has possibly the best beer selection I've ever seen outside of Brussels, and this morning we went for breakfast and got seated in a quiet upstairs bit with a sofa to have our Ulster frys in peace and quiet.

Absolutely dynamite weekend.

Won a patch pack off a comp on instagram. Would flash it off, but the bigcartel page is down for maintenance. Still, free patch, badge and sticker
I went a way for some time, but I guess I should come back and annoy people due to attending this year

I know I shouldn't jinx it but, despite having the start of a cold, lupus sores in my mouth, swollen joints and an interesting rash on my left arm where I missed a bit with the sun block, I actually feel a bit better.

I finally have a wah pedal. Naturally the first thing I played on it was the Shaft theme.

The project manager thing calmed down, and instead it's being split between two of us in the team for 6 months to trial things out.

Which means a new role profile, which means new benchmarking, which should mean a cheeky little raise again.

However also a bunch of responsibility which is way less fun but still dolladollabillsyall

My albino banded Californian Kingsnake has finally figured out what his hide is for. Seriously, that boy has issues

I actually got a fairly decent paycheque from last week. I should fucking hope so really. I got around a bit. Put in a few hours. Got greyer after it etc.


Putting that towards the PC build.

Great results for both Ireland teams yesterday. Northern Ireland 3 points clear in their group now and Republic Of Ireland guaranteed automatic qualification if they can beat Poland on Sunday. Shane Long's goal against Germany is now drawn with Tony Cascarino's penalty against Romania in 1990 for the most important goal ever scored in Irish football. Flick your bean for the boys in green (and green and blue)!

I really hope Ireland can get into the Euros.

I've always had love for them cos of Robbie Keane, and getting disappointed twice next summer would be wonderful.

Yep, great results. Pleased for the Northern Irish especially. Looks like Scotland are going to be the only ones missing the party!

Repenished earl grey stocks and a cut price ticket for Taake tonight'll do it (even if I forgot the lemon green tea)
