    For anyone interested - the Irish Champion, Stephen Morrissey (aka the Flying Thud) is doing his thing on Saturday.

    Cheers for that. I'll be in a better position to watch that.

    The US champion should be up in about 15/20 mins. I reckon he'll be one to watch, cause the US finals will be very tough to get through.

    You can see it there. Was really good. Had some problem with his signature drink, possibly something melting on him, not quite sure, but recovered well.

    He made the final 6! Will be on again tomorrow.

    From RTE "As the winner of the 2008 Competition, Mr Morrissey receives a highly sought after La Marzocco GS/3 espresso machine and a Compak K-10 WBC espresso grinder, together worth more than €5,700, in addition to his prestigious title."

    Some kit eh?

    My wife phoned me to tell me he'd made the news alright. Fair play to him. I'm sure this will help raise the profile of decent coffee in Ireland.

    Or raise how bad it really is here! :)

    Well done to him.
