To my horror I have found out that it is the theme tune to Made in Chelsea.[/quote]
Great tune that I identified as great before Farmer. Used superbly in How to make it in America where Ben is seducing Namcy in a cab.
I learned yesterday, after Clareâs handy win, that Bandage really knows his Hurling.
He tipped Tipperary to beat Kilkenny earlier in the year.
A lot of people are bitter that I was ahead of the curve on Clare. You had some of their supporters openly stating Davy needed to stand aside after we played them in Thurles. But I saw what they were trying to implement, how rich their potential was and how they would grow with more games. Itâs a shame to see people being very put out by this.
The IRA assassinated the co founder of the Guinness Book of Records.
I never knew that

After visiting a few Plant Hire shops in Dublin yesterday , there seems to be a pick up in the Construction Industry again thankfully.
The 1973 European Cup final ended in a draw after extra time, so the final was replayed TWO DAYS later, with Bayern winning 4-0.
Swords is a smashing place.
Close to the City, Airport, and a major motorway system. But it is also surrounded by lovely Countryside which was alive with activity today with Combines harvesting cereals.
A lovely lovely spot. 
Swords is a shithole.
Youâre mouth is a shithole.
