Update

Well, after being really busy at work last week, and being at a course the week before, I finally get to update my blog. Firstly, Ireland was good. We landed in Derry, and then met a friend, who then drove us to Donegal which is a beautiful part of Ireland. Brialliant scenery and brilliant beaches....yes, I said Beaches. Very nice.

I am just trying to think what other news I have, but it turns out there is nothing. Other than Birmingham drew with Wolves on the weekend. Great result! Oh, and I went to see Borat and Saw 3 in the same evening last week. 2 top films, and they couldn't be more different!!

Friday fun

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the
VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why
he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't
want to offend you. "

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I
am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and
hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could
say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you
have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley."

The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"

Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married
and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a
Halloween party."

Derry, here i come

After our exploits in France, me and my brother are going to Derry tomorrow until Sunday. Looking forward to that, and to drinking a proper pint of Guinness!

In other news I went to the Liverpool game on Tuesday at Anfield against Bordeaux. That was good. I have never been to Anfield, or Liverpool, but I enjoyed it. Anfield is quite a nice stadium, and just opposite the Kop end, outside the ground there was a brilliant kebab shop, that would give Cotswold kebab in Cheltenham a good run for its money. It was delicious! Went to the pub next door to it as well, and that was an experience! It was packed, with liverpool fans singing Liverpool songs*. Great atmosphere!

* Thats Liverpool football club songs, not random Liverpool songs. That would be riduclous!

Paris is great!

Well, as for as the wishlist goes, we did 2 out of 5 which aint bad, however, we did alot of additional stuff too. Paris is an amazing city. We tried the snails - they were a bit chewy, but they came in a nice garlic and butter sauce, and we tried frogs legs. They weren't too bad at all - they were just like chicken wings, but a little more watery. Nice though.

We saw the Mona Lisa at the Loeuvre, and that place was really trully amazing. Brilliant. Plenty to see, and looked really nice.

We didn't go to Moulin Rouge, it would have been good, but there wasn't the time.
There were some nice irish pubs around paris. They were great. The guiness and kreonunburg there was tasty. We found another drink there at the pub which we were watching Sky Sports News on Saturday afternoon - It was 90% Cider and 10% Orange Juice. Not sure what it was called but it was a really refreshing drink. Try it. But apparently, you only notice the effects of the drink when you have about 4 or 5, stand up and fall ar$e over t*t. Be warned!!
