There are some things that are just insufferable. Like a Whiskey Hangover, Irish Rail or the Hills. But in all my travels, not that I’ve travelled very far, but in all my travels, I think a downright idiot is the worst of them all. Now, I’m no Einstien. I can be at times I can be incredibly dumb. More through the sheer laziness of my brain to be bothered than anything else, but if I don’t... 

Good Week Eh…Kerry? Even Spillane wrote them off, but he’s been cranky all year if we’re being honest. Everyone had a feeling the Kingdom would raise their game and quash rumblings of a decline. By god did they raise it. Cork No doubt they would relish a match against Kerry at the end of September. They blew Donegal away on Sunday. Tyrone That O’Neill chap is some man to kick a ball, Tyrone... 

So that’s it. The weeks of tension, excitement and sheer unexplainable craziness is over. But what weeks of tension, excitement and sheer unexplainable craziness they were. It was an incredible summer to be from Wicklow. An incredible time to bear witness to. Those outside the county may be a little baffled at why these games meant so much. After all, we got knocked out. And those outside the county... 

Good Week Waterford Hurlers 5 Points behind to Galway in the closing 5 minutes of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Quarter Final. Dead and Buried? Not at all, a comeback that shows exactly why this sport is one of the most exciting in the world. John Mullane’s point in the dying seconds saw the deficit breached and victory by the minimum went to Waterford. Davy Fitzgerald’s reaction alone was worth... 

While we wait on the exact details on Conor Mortimors connection with Michael Jackson (Friends? Dance Partners? Was Mortomir his Baboon?) the world of the internet has cleverly pointed out a slight problem with his T-Shirt. When I say cleverly point out, I really mean that someone with a basic understanding of the English language has noticed an error. The fact that Michael Jackson has seeped his way... 

Good Week Wicklow Let me tell you, if there was one person with Swine Flu in Aughrim on Saturday, there’s thousands with it now. I’ve never seen so much unprovoked hugging in my life. Tears fell down the faces of grown men and women. People denounced their wedding day and declared the 18th July the best day of their lives. All 15 Men who ran the turf became legends. Sport is about joy, about passion.... 

Good Week Wicklow Where else can we start? 3 wins in the Championship so far. Unlucky not to beat Westmeath in normal time, let alone extra-time. Home draw for the third successive qualifier. This man O’Dwyer, he’s a keeper. Now I think the County Council should put up diversions for the Down game. Make them travel every little back road and village in the county. Knacker them out. I’ll put that... 

Budget day is among us. Again. And the country holds its breath. Again. I mean, we just don’t know what they are going to come out with this time, do we? I just pray to the livin’ jaysus that someone upgraded Lenihan’s Abacus to a Calculator. But if we look on it with the view that the Government are going to mess up once again (God Forbid) it leaves us with one burning question; Ask not what... 

Finally, after the triumphs of the Grand Slam and Bernard Dunne, we are back to the bread and water that is the Irish National Soccer team. GAA HQ must be delighted. What better way to push Gaelic Football & Hurling in this country than by sitting every kid in the country down and getting them to watch the full ninety minutes of the boys in green playing soccer against Bulgaria. Don’t get me... 

In a recent survey conducted by Gallup, 40% of cars that travel to Aughrim for a match get stuck behind a tractor. Of those 40%, 30% of the said mentioned drivers are consumed by a rage similar only to the one whereby you are faced with something unavoidable and of which you simply cannot do anything about. The other 10% are simply clowns who try and overtake them and everyone else in their Audi...
