    As the v nice garda explained to me, its not illegal to have a horse n cart/trap on a public road. They are keeping to the proper lane and not speeding. Unless they cause an accident then not a lot they can do. The boy racers speeding up n down staplestown rd are a greater danger.

    The garda agreed that sulkys are a nuisance and a danger but like cars its down to the driver and people reporting them, then they can act .

    Some day in London yesterday. Spent the day on the torch run followed by the first dress rehearsal of the opening ceremony at the stadium last night. If your doing nothing else on Friday its well worth a look.

    The person I hired from Bagnelstown is spending the day with the Muhammed Ali entourage. Quite happy too.

    It may be rumours, but someone presented themselves to the guards in connection with the assault?

    Thanks I'll see what I can do. Last nights second dress rehearsal was stunning and the atmosphere building up is unbelievable. Despite what some media would tell you, most people are delighted that London is hosting the Olympics.

    This morning I took a helicopter tour of the road cycling route and right now I'm in Weymouth looking at the sailing venue.

    The rest of the team from Ireland, U.K. and the U.S. are all on the torch run today and I hope to be back in London for 3.30 to meet up for the final run in to Hyde Pk. The reports I'm getting are crowds 20 to 30 deep in places.

    Its all a far cry from Beijing where I found everything contrived and sterile. In fact this will be my fifth Olympics and already this is up there with Sydney 2000. I say that quietly as I'm not gone on Australia.

    Hope you don't find me rude for asking this but what do you do ( and where can I get your job )?

    I'll answer this one as I know him and he gave me an opportunity last year. Leincar is a director and head of sponsorship for a U.S. multi-national.

    Before that he was head of Event Management for the same company. About 18 months ago through boards he gave me a internship in the London office as I couldn't find work in event management. After 6 months I was taken on full time and next year I will transfer to Leincar's office in Atlanta.

    He has also hired 2 people recently from Ireland. He advertised these jobs at first on Boards(this thread I think) One of the people he hired is from Carlow(Bagnelstown) the other from Dublin. We are all having the time of our lives here in London.

    This is the equivalent of a day off for me as I've been on the Torch relay for 70 days. Today I just have to make sure that Leincar's wife and family get to the stadium for the opening ceremony. Otherwise I'm a dead man.

    Leincar right now is schmoozing with the good and the great.

    That's the gayest thing I've read all day. Sounds like you have an ikkle crush

    Finally have five minutes to reply. I won't. I'm just about to join in with the biggest piss up I've ever attended. Yes Nevsky will be there. The last I saw of him he was attempting to do things with my girl from Carlow (Bagnelstown).

    None of us watching Katie Taylor this evening have ever seen anything like it. As some people here on Boards will know, I've not missed a major international sporting event since 1996.

    Tonight usurped anything I've ever experienced to a point where I became a fan of sport again rather than someone who works in the business of sport.

    So the man with the ickle crush is happy, and I hope the Dboy85 with the ickle chip upon shoulder is also happy.

    Have to be honest I broke my heart laughing when I read his comment.

    An infraction over this? My god any wonder people from Carlow don't hang around here with the overly sensitive ban hammer swinging about. The post was a joke, about another post and not the person, just like the reactions that followed from all of you apes.
