Wasn’t the motorway. Was the dual carriageway between Naas and Newbridge, at the Red House or whatever they called it. Jim’s wife made his life a misery, so that excused it.

There’s a lovely Christmassy feel to this story.
The nephew was up in the house a fortnight ago. I asked him what did he want for the Christmas. He said a coat that was online. So I said go ahead and order it and get it sent here and I’ll bring it down to you on Christmas Day.
So I called out the credit card number and he ordered the coat. It was two weeks ago last night and he was around in the house again and I asked him about it. He checked the account, which said it had been delivered and signed for, by Chris Maginn. I said what’s going on here and I checked the address he typed inand sure enough he typed in the wrong address. I checked the address again and sure enough it was a building site.
I feared the worst but I said fuckit I’ll give it a try. So I trudged around to the site and sure enough Chris was manning the gate and I asked about a packet, and he said are you Fagan, I said I am, and he said a packet was delivered for Fagan last week but there’s no Fagan working here. It might be in the site office. So he searched the site office high up and low down. And then he found it!
I gave him a tenner for his trouble and told him to buy a pint. Being the gent he was he resisted but I pressed it into his hand and walked off.
None of that happened.

I’m worried my 9-year old nephew is a football hipster. Woof.
I visited my sister last weekend and he asked me if I could get him the Milan third jersey with M’Baye Niang’s name and number on the back for Christmas*.
*That happened.

Inverting the Pyramid would make a lovely addition to the Christmas stocking.
This is absolutely outstanding. I’ve watched it four or five times now. C. Ronaldo and Messi just don’t bring the same joy to football as the original ronaldo and ronaldinho. It’s hard to put your finger on it but they seemed to do things with a great spontaneity and you almost felt they were the under dog.

Trivia: Ronaldo played under the name “Ronaldinho” during the 1996 Olympic association football tournament.
So Ronaldo, as well as being the original Ronaldo, is also the original Ronaldinho.

he wasn’t the original Ronaldo and was called Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) to distinguish himself from the original Ronaldo, a name Ronaldinho II later adopted to distinguish himself from Ronaldo II.
I only recall him being referred to as Ronaldo during the 1994 World Cup, in which I don’t think he got a game at any stage.
I don’t recall him ever being referred to as Ronaldinho outside of the 1996 Olympics.
