I think he wants you mate. If you were in a playground heād be pulling your hair and calling you names.
After Hogan, Bruton. and Reilly, I am continuing my theme of spotting Fine Gael Ministers.
Who: Lucinda Creighton (left of this picture)
Famous for: Being the person who Jimmy Magee once said he wouldnāt mind sitting on her front bench
Where: Grafton Street, Dublin
When: Today 1.30pm, 18th May 2011
Company: An older lady, probably her mother
Demeanour: Sour, pissed off, fed up
Other notes: Lucinda had quite a sour facial expression as she strolled down Grafton Street. She is better looking than I thought and is perfectly doable. This was influenced probably by the wearing of office type attire of a blouse, jacket, short-ish skirt, tights and heels. She carried a paper bag with the word āZerepā emblazened across the side.
Zerep is a shoe shop as far as I know. Would the paper bag have been large enough to take a pair of shoes/boots or was it more likely to be a footwear accesory such as polish or an insole or something?
Definitely large enough for shoes/boots.
The one on Grafton Street was closing down last time I was in there. I wonder if Lucinda managed to get herself a bargain.
farmer - was there any indication that she managed to get a bargain, such as āSaleā emblazened on the bag or a cheap price tag peeping out? Youād imagine if she had a dour facial expression she hadnāt just picked up a bargain but hard to tell as women are never happy.
No indication of any āsaleā items purchased.
Hm.
I spotted Harry Crosbie again at lunchtime. I posted a spot of him before sonI am not going to the trouble of doing another one
Good point, well made.
Jackass.
Thatās a spot. You are developing quite a knack for spotting politicians out and about Farmer, must be the snooty places you frequent. Lucinda is very attractive.
Not a spot.
Thatās fair enough the Dunph. I respect your decision
Iāll need a call on this one.
Who: Luke āMingā Flanagan
http://www.uccphilosoph.com/wiki/images/thumb/1/13/Luke_flanagan.jpg/180px-Luke_flanagan.jpg
Famous for: Being an alright sort.
Where: Dawson Street, Dublin
When: Today 1.30pm, 25th May 2011
Wearing: Standard Ming attire. Purple shirt buttoned to the neck, dark trousers and dark shoes. He wore his har in a ponytail.
Company: None
Demeanour: Shy
Other Notes: Ming was taking part in the farmerās protest which was travelling down Dawson Street at the time. He carried a placard stating something like āgreedy business screwing farmersā. He had taken a break from the march and was standing along the footpath, pretending to speak on his mobile phone (or so it seemed). His phone is a smart phone of some description (possiblly an iphone) and had a part of the leather covering removed so that he could navigate the touch screen. He is one scary looking individual - very pale faced and his beard is quare long.
Dunph, ruling required on a spot of Brian Kerr heading into the Aviva Stadium yesterday evening. He may have been working - scouting future qualifier group opposition - or attending in a private capacity.
Farmer, this is an interesting one. First off i was tempted to call it as not a spot under the provisio Ming was at work. But then, Ming wasnāt at work now was he. Work for him would be Leinster House or his constituency office. He was walking down a street with a group of alright sorts, you couldnāt have been totally sure heād be there. Thatās a spot. Any spots of Ming will always be welcomed and the adjudication team will try where possible to throw caution to the wind and to let Ming spots pass.
Bandage, iām afraid i canāt with good conscience let that through. Kerr would almost certainly have been in a work capacity. Please donāt let this put you off with future attempts though. If you hit the crossbar enough times eventually a goal will go inā¦
top quality adjudication here from the Dunph.
Ming is an alright sort
Concise and clear rulings from Dunph there. There wonāt be any discontent from Bandage Iād imagine because the judgement is so thoughtful and well explained.
Good stuff Dunph. It takes someone with a lot of credibility around these parts to step in and ajudicate without objection, and you have loads of it mate.
Iāve been getting through a good few spots recently, so hopefully that continues and I look forward to you adjudicating on them in future.
If you need any further detail on any spot to aid you in this process, donāt hesitate in asking.
No problem Dunph. I, like most competitors, respect an official that communicates with players. Iād almost move for Dunph to get the gig permanently such has been the smooth and classy way heās handled the thread lately. Itās like when Tom Brady first came in for the injured Drew Bledsoe. There was simply no way Bledsoe was ever getting his old Quarterback job from Brady.
Who: lifeimi mafi
Where: fir grove hotel, mitchelstown
When: about 5 mins ago
Wearing: shirt and slacks, smartly turned out
Demeanour: jovial, nonchalant. Looking every inch the man who took the Leinster defence to school.
Notes: I almost collided with lifeimi on the way to the bar. His famous step was not sufficient to clear my drunken path. Perhaps I should be scrum half for Leinster.
