First of all, I bought a Playstation 2 since I was here last. This was something I agreed, or decided to do, if I won enough money on the races at Cheltenham. And I sure did win enough. The first day, I made 2 bets. The first was a win double on 2 horses in the first 2 races. I forget the names and I bet �10. They won and I had netted �78. I must give credit to Dave for pointing out this bet. The 3rd race was a bit harder to predict. I was going to put dosh on Rhinestone Cowboy, but I had a change of heart and went for the 11/2 shot, Rooster Booster. I chose this mule purely on its name, and why not? I was called after me!! This decision proved to be a masterstroke as it won and netted myself a further �45. With this new found confidence of winning money, I placed a �50 win bet on Moscow Flyer on day 2. Once again luck was on my side and the money kept rolling in. I also spent a tenner that day with Joe and Pecker on a couple of accumulator�s, but the first horse fucked up and ruined it on us. There were potential winnings of two grand if it worked. Day 3 seen me digging deep to try raise the rest of the cash needed for the playstation. I made a couple of pussy bets, and won, but by half 4 I was still along way off target. I needed another �70. So I got bold and brave, and stuck �50 on La Landiere to win its race. It was make or break time and the nerves were going as I watched the commentary on the internet. Luckily it won, and I now have a playstation 2. I bought that on the Friday, with 2 games � ISS Pro Evolution 2 and Crash Bandicoot something. Both pretty good. Since then I got Medal of Honour Frontline and that�s wicked altogether. Out of my Cheltenham winnings, which totalled �280 or so, I have none left.
Also for the last fortnight or so, I spent every waking moment thinking about our project. I ate, slept, drank and even dreamed about the fucking thing. Two weeks of coding in RPG fries the brain. Be thankful if you know nothing about it. I spent the 2 weeks trying to code shit, and thankfully I got it done on time and the most of it worked grand. My only fear prior to the testing was that the programs wouldn�t do what Big Daddy wanted them to do. As far as I was concerned, they were right, but since Big Daddy is the closest thing to God around here, he might have had a different idea. And today was the day, today was testing day. I wasn�t too nervous of it and it went off fine, apart from one program not working. Once I finished my testing that was it. The end of an era. The whole of this 3rd year in college revolved around that project, and since its over I have a lot more time on my hands.
After that, the last 3 or 4 weeks have been boring to say the least. Last Wednesday night was class party night, but I wasn�t there because I had to go home and work. There is loads of pictures taken and whenever Colm puts them on the net, they will be available for all to see. I bought Championship Manager 4 a couple of weeks ago aswell and I spent any possible time I could playing it. It�s a lot harder than the previous versions but I�ll eventually figure it out. The computer is struggling to run it but it gets there.
I must also mention the local prostitute that we see walking around our area. Pecker wants me to mention her as he has a crush on her. To describe her, I�ll say she�s old, small, wrinkled, possibly smelly, dresses in black, wears a skirt that�s way to short and also wears tights, and there is no way that anyone in their right mind would give her one. Although this is Limerick and anything is possible.
Today, April 8th, is also the one-year anniversary of my little adventure that is this site. It�s been an eventful 12 months, and the site has changed a lot plenty of times. I still haven�t decided on what exactly to put on it, that�s why there�s such a variety of crap. Hopefully over the Easter, there will be a new front page that will replace the one currently there. This is work in progress and I hope to get time over Easter to fix it and launch it. I�ve also decided to allow everyone to write things for me to put up. I know that loads of people might have interesting stories to tell but have no where to record them. I now give all such folk the opportunity to submit such useless information for the world to see. And if you want inspiration, just have a look at JP�s Cabbage Patch.
Apart from that, not much has happened. Nothing that I can remember anyway so it mustn�t be too important. I�m heading out tomorrow night for a while with the lads in the course, also I must make an appearance for Mags� birthday. Hopefully on Thursday we�ll go on the latest CASA trip. We are thinking of covering Tipperary and Waterford, and maybe Wexford. The trip depends on how locked and hung over we are Thursday morning. Hopefully we will restart the campaign after its long absence.
That�s it from me, I�ll try do a bit more soon but until then my fans,
Goodnight.
