That doesnt count. Its only an occupation that allows brain dead

| Good God, MBr woke up for a while today. Wonders never cease :-)
and I quote from MBr's reply
"Nobody with even half a brain would be bored out of their tree
to watch that". Absolutely, 100% correct.
I fear the Kilkenny Kat has been at illegal substances yet again.
Aughrim, thats where men are men and sheep are nervous, isnt it ???

| Well, you won't have to worry about Aughrim or the sheep-$#@gg&r$,
Kildare set them packing for the hills. But that result presents the
Dubs with an even bigger problem, presuming Wexford and Pat's wee
men can be disposed of. Beware Micko's Army ... he's back to haunt the
Dubs again.

Well there were a number of things to celebrate yesterday
Midsummers day
Hurling (That other sport of kings)!
Wexford beat the Dubs in the Leinster Semi. Hurling wasnt great but was
enjoyable. Once the Dubs lost M.J. Ryan they had no forward capable of scoring
regularily. Also David Burke in the Wexford goal made a few very important saves.
Some very good individual displays. In particular Martin Storey was on song.
By the way I fail to understand why he did not get an All Star last year. He
was far better than a number of players who did (Particularily on the half
forward line).
Kilkenny beat offaly in the other semi. Again the hurling was not great.
Offaly had the better of the first half but were only 3 points up at �time.
There was quite a stiff breeze blowing. In the second half Kilkenny upped the
tempo and Offaly died. This was very untypical as they usually stick at it to
the end.
Now its back to tradition for the Leinster final. KeVin will you be in Ireland
on July 19th. Want to see some real sport?

KeVin,
I agree its a one in a lifetime experience. Its not every day that a set of
sacrificial lambs are sent to the slaughter.
Seriously though I think its July 12th. I may be wrong though as I dont really
follow football. Now the Hurling is on July 5th.

I agree - Football is irrelevant. This of cours makes the YTD status of the
dubs irrelevant.
Cork Beat Limerick in the Munster Hurling final yesterday. It was a pretty
one-sided match with cork well in command.

MISTER BURNS, you have to come to Dublin for the porter in a few weaks

| 1063.12 | Dubs in Leinster Final | SIOG::FARRELL | | Tue Jul 14 1992 12:43 | 16 |
| Back to important matters. Yesterday, the Dubs marched (well, they
limped very badly, to be honest) on beating Louth in the semi-final in
the Leinster football championship.
They had about 17 wides but won by 3 points in the end. They had by far
the greater possession but werent picking off scores.
In an interview with this reporter, ex-Dublin star (with medal for
sale), Brian Jordan said that if Dublin move up a gear, no one will
beat them in this years All-Ireland.
There it is, folks, an important part of the anatomy on the line for the
Dubs.

| OK, OK, I'll let a little bit of Munster history into this note just to
show us Dubs can be generous to a fault.
Yesterday, Clare (yes, Clare) beat Kerry in the Munster Football Final
by 2-10 to 0-12. A great win for the lads from Clare. Not many of the
Kerry species around today. Sean Griffin, with no medal for sale, hasnt
appeared yet. It was Clare's first Munster Final win since 1917 which
coincidentally was the year keVin was born.
Now we await the arrival of one keVin who was decanted into an plane in
the last day or so.
- Joe
P.S. Anyone know where Clare is ? Answers, addressed to keVin Burns,
Ireland, on written postcards only as I'm sure keVin will want to see
the place now that they have won something.

| Further to the great victory by the Bannermen in Limerick, I had the
great privilege of doing a gig down in Inagh, near Ennis, last night.
The atmosphere was only mighty!!!
We didn't start until 10 because the match was highlighted on the TV

Jacks kicked the Lillies out of Croker and back to Kildare
where they belong. Just as well the journey home is short.

| 1063.25 | Things are right on target | SIOG::FARRELL | | Mon Jul 27 1992 14:53 | 21 |
| Ok folks,
No problem. The Dubs won handy yesterday. The score was Dublin 1-13,
Kildare 0-10. For a little while in the second half, Kildare rallied
but Dublin picked off a couple of points and that was that.
The first half performance by Dublin was one of the best displays by
Dublin for a long time. Brian Jordan (still with medal for sale), in an
interview with this reporter, said
"This side is showing good potential and should go on to win the All
Ireland".
Well said, Brian. Watch out Clare, you are in big trouble.
keVin, those Clare boys have no need to write down the directions back
to Clare. They wont be up here long enough to forget them.

| Hello to one and all dear little rednecks,
Well, I bet keVin thought he had escaped but I'm back from the hols now
(2 weeks in Clare was great).
As most of you know by now, the Dubs have marched on to the All Ireland
Football Final to meet Donegal. Clare tried hard but the Dubs were
always that bit better. Mind you, the defense still has a little snooze
half way through the second half. This will cost them dearly against
good forwards.
Brian Jordan, still with medal for sale, not in an interview with this
reporter, said nothing. He's on holidays.
No, keVin, you are not getting away with it.
I received some information from keVin in the internal mail and the
P.S. to his memo says and I quote
"By the time you read this, Clare may have already beaten Dublin !!".
Poor keVin. Mind you, he was able for most of his drink when I met him
in Ballyvaughan and Dublin. That Achill is a killer. I must start going
there again next year.

Paddy Englishman, Paddy Irishman, Paddy Scotsman were in
court one day accused of theft. When the judge was handing
down the sentences he gave them two options, amputation of
the arm or stick your arm into a tank full of pirnahas.
So Paddy Englishman decides to puts his arm in. The pirnahas
go into action and chew off half of it. Paddy Scotsman said
he'll go ahead with the first option and gets his arm chopped
off. Paddy Irishman stands up walks forward and puts his arm
into the tank and removes it still intact. The judge shouts
"Put it back in" and again he takes it out intact. So on
question of this mircale Paddy Irishman rolls up his sleve and
shows the inscription on his arm and says ;
"Donegal to beat Dublin, no one is going to swallow that".

| Joey-de-lunch looks the same colour as the Donegal jerseys this morning
- green and yellow. The Dubs led early on by a couple of points but
once Donegal caught and passed them they never looked in danger and ran
out comfortable winners 0-18 to 0-14. Armagh were unlucky to lose the
minor by a point to Meath.
