You can tell it’s September – I haven’t got a ticket for the all-Ireland hurling final

Today the men of Kilkenny take on underdogs Limerick in the all-Ireland final. For the past two weeks, I’ve been pleading with people and dropping hints in an effort to find a couple of tickets. It almost paid off on Friday night when I got an offer of one ticket. But I really want to take my son, so I had to decline. So at 3.30 today you’ll find me in front of the TV for the climax of what has been an utterly fantastic year of hurling. The only shame is that Waterford didn’t make it through.

It would have been nice to see Dan ‘The Man’ Shanahan and his mates line up for a final after their heroic efforts all year.

Bald blogging bloke in Belfast boldly writes…

These are some of the things that please me. Or annoy me. Or just plain happen to me. A lot of it's going to be about music, sport, marketing and family things. There'll be the odd sarcastic rant as well - I hope. It'll probably be written quite fast and be frequently daft or confusing. Or both. Spelling/typing may be up the left too. So if that's not your cup of tea there's not much point in wading through it all. Not entirely sure how all the technical bits work but I'm going to give it a go. If I do something terribly off-blog, just let me know.
