    Ah the Olympics.... how did i forget that? Yeah, I'm shocked at how blank my mind goes when I try to remember the big events of the year. I put it down to having a new baby and not having a moment to myself. Scary

    John Cusack was a bad choice for the lead role.

    They say the internet has adversely effected concentration and memory. I tend to agree.

    I'm struggling to think of anything else significant so far as well. Neil Armstrong died, that was newsworthy I suppose.

    The yoke where we pretended Americans were Irish and took all their money.

    Ireland got an excellent result against Spain in The Euros. Equal to the beaten finalists, in fact.

    In Rugby, Ireland disastrously scored 7 tries against Argentina. Kidney was heard to mutter to himself, "WTF are they doing?" Earlier in the year they heroically held the All Blacks to 60 pts.

    Obama re-elected. Hurricane Sandy fcuked up the Carribean and the east coast of the US. Oh and the Costa Concordia disaster. That was bad.
