    I know Tearfund very well. Excellent charity. Well done. I expect you have recovered by now and are already in training for next year. By the way, how shocking of you, a man, to even know what a camisole top is!! :D

    I'd love to do it again, it was such good craic! The crowd I went with were full of banter and Jimmy Chungs were amazing for accomodating us when we all descended on them en-masse afterwards.

    I'm hiding in the right of the back row behind the blue haired "girl" in this group photo.

    I'm actually in training for my first full marathon, the Dublin City Marathon in October and will be fund-raising for Tearfund again. I will first be doing the Portlaoise half marathon as a tester. If I survive that then I'll give the full marathon a go.

    26 Years of marriage teaches a man things he never thought he'd learn. :D

    All right, what have yiz all done, you un-romantic Irish guys? That Youtube wedding proposal I put up here is BLOCKED! :eek: The last time I checked it had reached more than 12 million views. It was just too good for yiz and yiv missed yer chance! :p

    I was fortunate to get in early enough to watch it yesterday. It seems that the rights to the video have been purchased by some news corporation. The best I could find is this:

    Awww Rich, you're brill, that's the very one. Ohhhh it's fab, I love it love it love it. I must have watched it 20 times by now and the music rings in my ears morning noon and night. The imperfections in the video make it more perfect, for me. I'm sure whoever has the rights to the music is now a billionaire! Thanks for that. :):):)

    I was very pleased to see Denmark beat Holland today. (I have two Danish-born grandchildren, that's part of the reason why.)

    Hi BBJ, welcome to senior infants! Pull up a pew, Chucken will serve you a bowl of soup shortly! :eek: I've just had a 'conversation' with himself about that handball. Why don't they call it an armball? The rolling eyes made me withdraw to a safer spot, but now I'm not so sure it's that safe! :D

    Thanks, Jellybaby. Any bit of luck going the Danes got it but that makes their victory that bit sweeter! Anyway, I'm saying that the ball hit his hand/arm, he didn't play it......:rolleyes:

    It is sooo quiet in here these days, what with 'Limpics and the warm weather no-one wants to post. Anyways, I saw these fab photos of the moon, and they made me smile today:

    I cannot get the silly grin off my face, exhausted though I may be.

    Today I completed my first 100km cycle and I have the certificate to prove it! :D

    I have a smile on my face that if it got any wider it would meet at the back of my head. I have just got back from seeing the cardiologist at the hospital. He has given me the all clear. I have to carry on with the meds, but I don't have to go back to see him any more. As far as heart attacks go I am unlikely to suffer with another one in the foreseeable future if I am a reasonably good boy.

    YIPPEE :)
