Well avid readers, you'll all be happy to hear that Harbott and duChats are out of our slump, the form has returned. Yes folk's the first Donut of the year has been secured, care of our good friend Sean at Heineken. Self doubt can be a terrible thing, playing on your mind, and after a few years of blagging free tickets and booze, it can be tough missing out on the good life. But being the battlers we are, we knew that we would return.
So on Sunday over a quiet lunch we got the call up to Ireland v Wales. 2 tickets with our names on them, our debut was to be the biggest game in Dublin all year! Brilliant. Off to oldest ground in World Rugby we went, Lansdowne Rd. Ireland came away the victors, and the boys were stoked to be there. Pitty about the shit house level of footy on show! The ground is really quite intimate, giving you a great feeling within the ground. Best part of the game was when Gavin Henson entered the field of play, and every time the poor bastard touched the ball, about 10,000 Irish gave him hell, wolf whistling ect. Classic stuff.
Managed to take what is possibly the Sports action photo of the year, flukishly getting the first touch down on my camera. The decision went upstairs to the 3rd Ref, meanwhile all the crowd around me checked out the camera, and we all made our decision well before the TV lad upstairs....Special.
We are back at the same ground this week for Ireland v Sweden in the Soccer. One of the lads at work got us some tickets, cleaverly situaited in the Away stands with the Swedish supporters. Lets just hope there are plenty of Swedish back packers supporting there team!!!Greatest Weekend Ever
June 9th 2006 will be the start of one of the greatest weekends in my Life. A few weeks ago Metallica announced plans to play in Dublin on the 11th June. This made me giddy with excitement, enough to make my week, perhaps my month. Then last week, out of the blue, Gun's N Roses announced they are playing on the 9th of June at the same location! With Motley Crew doing warm up. This my friends is metal heaven, the gods have been good.
So I'm starting a vigorous regime for my neck, head banging causes serious injuries every year. Will be tuning the Air guitar over the coming months. Maybe will invest in some new black tapers, some white converse boots with the tongue hanging out and a selection of black T-shirts with skulls and various bad things on them. Also will be growing the mandatory Mullett (Business up front, party out back).
I do have a spear ticket to Metallica, but that's because I need more space to grind the Axe!!!!!
Cheers
duChats
