    was anyone at the reception last night in Bray?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Absolutely thrilled with Katie's win, she is a true hero and inspiration to young Irish people, particularly young women.

    However, absolutely disgusted with the media, what's a girl gotta do to get on the TV?!?! 3 times world champion and they've never shown any of her fights on the TV, suppose streaming her final live on the net was a step in the right direction.

    I also hear the Brits were trying to pouch her, wouldn't blame her for going if she got more recognition over there!
