Graffiti on the wall for the FAI

 So there is a storm in a tae cup.  The Irish Women's national soccer team have qualified for the World Cup. After winning their last match against Scotland. The players were singing and dancing in a huddle The ladies were broadcast on camera as they sang the Wolfe tones 1987 hit- Celtic Symphony.  This song is enjoyed by Irish sports fans -including Leinster Rugby who gave a rendition in 2019 whilst flying back from France.  The problem is : graffiti on the walls just as the sun was going down, I seen graffitti on the walls( Of the CELTS, Of the CELTS), Graffitti on the walls that says we're Magic, We're Magic, Graffiti on the walls.......Graffiti on the walls........

The Orville

  I enjoyed it. It McFarlane's homage rip off the 90s Trek.  There is a Yesterday's Enterprise nod. The Best of Both Worlds and Reunification  Also a long homage to the Terminator  It is nice to see planet of the hats episodes again. After long drawn out story arcs-A particular favorite of mine is when the Union visits a planet where astrology is a matter of life or death. People were giving birth early via caesarian to dodge being born under the bad sign Hey Ted Danson makes Admiral.  It is amazing how cheap and effective CGI is. You can now see Alien worlds on mid budget shows.  It is nice to see Norm Macdonald. While we still can.  The Avis joke is well done. The God of the Krill is caused Avis. Also nice touch making the Krill very vulnerable to UV light  It is nice to see, a lot of old friends. Picardo, Russ, Sirtes, and Billingsley  We also have Penny Jerad as a regular.  Poor Bruce Boxleitner is type cast as President of the Galax...

Round up October 5th 2022

Years ago I was told about the Saturn Hole. The idea that the worst time of the year for you personally is just before your birthday.  With the current problems in the Ukraine. Inflation is beginning to bite- I noticed yesterday that the price of crisps in a shop had risen to 105 p from 90 or 80 pence It feels cold.  I spent a lot this summer, and I am trying to pay down the debt Work is nothing to write about  Both myself and my daughter are unwell    ****************************************** I have enjoyed House of the Dragon. It is a bit humourless though.  I have finished watching the Orville. I did enjoy it. I may write a full review QPR won last night I went to see London Irish play on Saturday
