Has anyone else seen the guy carrying a cross around the county today? I just saw him heading in the Ballon direction on the Wexford road.

He is trying to bring peace to the rioting in England. Was on the way walking towards Rosslare

Was in Killorglin last weekend.
Got to try golf for the first time.
Amazing course with amazing views. Breathtaking countryside.

I left Ireland on June 21 on what should have been a three week work trip to Greece and Germany. Due to the vagaries of incompetent pillocks it turned in to a five week commute between Greece, Germany, Argentina and the U.S. followed by a swift dose of pneumonia and pleurisy and a two week stay in hospital in Atlanta.

Arrived home today and on telling the significant Mrs Leincar that I'm still going to New Zealand on Sept 6 for the rugby world cup(mainly work) she replied that " If I'm looking for sympathy, its in the dictionary between **** and syphilis." She is of course, quite correct.

Lovely day here in Auckland. Heading off to Eden Pk for final preparations and the first game this evening, New Zealand V Tonga.

Then down to Dunedin on South island for Argentina V England. On Sunday, its back to North island and New Plymouth for Ireland V U.S.A. . Unfortunately the forecast for Sunday is rain followed by showers(sounds all too familiar).

I can vouch for that. He got me a job as an intern in the London office earlier on this year. They just kept me on full time. Maybe in 20 years I can have his job. Also for a guy in his position he is a lunatic(in the best possible way).

That probably encompasses my career in a couple of paragraphs.. Next year will be enormous and hectic with the euro soccer championships and the Olympic games. I'll try and post more when I get time. Somewhere in the random waffle thread there are a few posts from the world cup in South Africa last year.

You should blog, your movements could make for interesting reading or learning depending on who is reading..

If I genuinely had the time I probably would, however last year I couldn't even post on this thread during the world cup. Life has a terrible habit of getting in the way.

On to other things, the atmosphere in Auckland has been fabulous with Irish and Aussie supporters all over the town. It should be a great occasion tonight. Now if only I could get an Aussie to buy me a beer.(In 25 years of travelling around the world its never happened.)

Finally managed to get around to adding some of the summer pics up there, most of them as it turns out are of our dogs!

Lovely morning here in Auckland. The forecast is for showers this afternoon and possibly during the match. Hope you all enjoy your breakfast while watching the game.
