Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

Not line we've not had our chances. Munster defending like demons (and slowing our ball down well) but we're just not making things stick.

Once again, our nearest neighbours have had a brilliant idea which forgets about the jurisdiction within their border which allows people to choose their nationality.

I was sitting near an undecided voter today and as soon as Humphreys said that Bertie Ahern supported her, said "I'll be voting for Connolly so, that's it".
