[quote=“Juhniallio”]Expecting a lot here in the next few weeks with the IOC in town. I’ve been laid low with work and a bit of a firearse problem of late, so here’s a reported one, by two of the lads I should have been drinking with on Sunday.
Where: Paddy O’ Shea’s Irish Bar, Beijing
Who : Des Cahill and Jimmy Magee
Can’t report much else except to say that they were in to watch the GAA. One of the lads didn’t recognise Magee -‘he just looked like an old man’, and had this to say for Cahill, ‘He’s really let himself go, he’s a fat cunt now, I mean a seriously fat cunt’.[/quote]
Thursday 31st July 2008.
Location: Galway racecourse
Daithi S. Spotted TG4 weatherman Daithi S in the bookies ring before one of the earlier races. Daithi seemed in good form and looked like he had a few few pints consumed.
John McIntyre, Saw ex Offaly manager John McIntyre after the fifth race. John was smoking a cigarette and not looking happy at all possibly due to lost money with the turf accountants.
Marty Morrisey. Marty stood in front of me in the stand for the 6th race. He was wearing a navy suit as far as I remember. I dont think he was wearing a tie. Marty seemed in good form and really is a tiny little shit.

Sorry about the lazy way this post will be presented. Usually I wouldn’t be so lax but it’s fairly busy round here at present.
Paddy O’ Sheas is a magnet for the Irish celebs in Beijing at present, especially when the Gaa is on. So, Des Cahill, Marty Morrissey, Stephen Alkin, Colm Murray, that fella Kevin who used to be on the den, ex GAA chief Sean Kelly have all graced it of late.
The Irish rowers were on the piss the other night. Cormac Folen was challenging all comers to a drinking contest and inviting people to check out his biceps. Sean Casey is as sound as they come and Sean O’Neill was last spotted getting sick in the Jacks with his best mate standing over him, ringing Ireland proclaiming ‘he’s fucked’, gleefully. Ah the Olympic spirits. Can’t beat them.
Also, the rowers have a disturbing habit of picking up one of their no every now and then and spanking him on the ass for a while…

Bit of a delay in posting this one as I’ve been on vacation. The couple were enjoying dinner and later on drinks with a group of similarly goodlooking friends in the famous Dublin pub. Rosanna was wearing a dress, can’t remember what colour. Wes was wearing a brown leather jacket (plain t-shirt underneath) and jeans, he had his wrist in a black cast. Both had fantastic tans. Wes had a vegetable lasagne for the mains, think Rosanna had the same. The group retired to the bar for drinks after the meal where Rosanna kindly posed for photos with a number of groups, she also declined one marriage proposal.
