Not a lot happened to be honest. Played a match against Wanderers, won 55nil. They were crap. Went to Sideways on Saturday night though. What a film that is! One of the funniest I've seen in a long time. Kind of American Pie with middle aged men instead of the Stifmeister etc but its a lot more serious and a lot better.
Belvo in the Senior Cup Final on Paddys Day- lovin' it!

The failings of Madden 2004
So in my unemployed boredom, I turned to the trusty Playstation and a spot of Madden '04 to pass the time. It's a great game but it has faults.
Although there are not many, there is one glaring ommision when compared to, say, the 2002 version. Namely the lack of classic stadia. In the case of the Washington Redskins, this would be the great RFK stadium. In Madden 2002 you could play in franchise mode at RFK. In 2004 however, we're stuck with frickin' FedEx Field. Come on EA, sort it out or else I'm gonna have to switch to NFL 2k5!!
Sitting here now with my cup of hot orange for my sore throat. Gonna have to take a panadol before bed- can't be like this for the weekend.

The Joys of Public Service Exams
Right, as the title of this blog suggests, I am currently unemployed. So, in an effort to remedy this problem, I did an exam to work for Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council here in Dublin. For anybody who hasn't done one of these, their basically aptitude tests tailored to test your suitability to the job. This is about my sixth or seventh. They used to be a bit exciting but now they are just so boring it's not true. The fact that most of the people doing the exam seemed to be "simple" and hence the exam ran way over time didn't lighten my mood in the slightest.
And I've a sore throat so couldn't train tonight (I play rugby by the way; 2nd row for Old Belvedere 3rd XV- top of our league!)
Oh well, at least I've got 6c text messages off Vodafone so I can have a good moan to my friends about it...

The Da Vinci Code, am I missing something?
First ever post, my God I am now a blogger!!!
Feel free to post comments by the way, the more the merrier!
Anyway, enough of that, what's with the Da Vinci code? I've finally started it (after everbody else) and I' m up to about p.316 but frankly it's doing nothing for me. I mean it's not exciting at all. Dan Brown's writing style just doesn't work as far as I'm concerned. He seems to be obsessed with showing off his wonderful knowledge of Opus Dei and symbology but he all he does is come across as a know it all. I was in the States in 2003 and the book was everywhere but I had never heard of it and now it's a world wide hit but I just can't see the greatness in it. If anybody can tell me what's so great about it then please email me.
