Well, my friend… what a weekend!
Yeah… a ‘super storm’ knocked us for six, then we knocked Down for seven!
It’s a weekend we’ll all remember for a long, long time!
Very true!
I mean, those early hours of Friday morning… such drama!
Actually, the drama began for me on Thursday evening…
How so?
Ah just a little fracas in the local shop…
Huh?
Main thing is, rather bizarrely, nobody filmed it on their phone!
I don’t understand…
Ah just a small exchange between me and an old lady…
How old?
I’d say she was about 91… well, she WAS 91, she told me three times!
And you had an argument with her?
Oh absolutely not! That would never happen. No, there was just some very brief tension… a few serious stares and a 5-minute stand-off!
What happened? Don’t tell me you started talking politics, you know you can go too far sometimes…
No, nothing of that nature! Look, it was fine in the end!
Bottom line is you had some sort of run-in with a 91-year-old lady? WHAT ARE YOU LIKE?!
It’s fine! It was the last loaf of bread! I just happened to reach it before her! But I gave it to her in the end, and she was happy!
(They pause to watch the video of a woman challenging the Taoiseach in Castlerea on Tuesday)
In fairness, it’s been a terrible week for thousands of people…
Absolutely. Our thoughts are with everyone locally, and nationally, with all who have been affected by that ferocious storm…
There are still thousands of people without power and water throughout County Roscommon and East Galway.
Our thoughts are with them all, and please God normal service will resume very, very soon.
(They pause to reflect for a moment on the hardship being experienced by so many local communities)
At least we had some welcome respite at the Hyde…
Yes! A very enjoyable day out for the three of us!
We’d have been lost without the Pub Bore, in fairness to him!
I know! Trying to follow all those new rules was quite a challenge!
The confusion didn’t stop you shouting down at Davy Burke, and the players, and the referee!
I was just advising them! The Pub Bore was feeding me the data, and I was relaying it to the sideline!
Embarrassing!
Far from it! Davy nodded his head in my direction at the final whistle… then he spread his arms wide and gestured… I’m guessing he was pleased with all my input!
