  • @ruggerbits I actually like Nigel as a ref now. He has had some howlers in Dublin in the past though. #EDFRugby in reply to ruggerbits #
  • I love Brian Moore’s commentary on the cheating in this game #EDFrugby @rugby nick lol,you’re right there. #
  • @smallbiztrends Tweetdeck underlines typos and has user dictionary so you can add your own terms #
  • Worst. Cross-field. Kick. Evar. #EDFrugby #rugby #
  • @TheMenace hadn’t seen it before, looks interesting. You involved or just a fan? in reply to TheMenace #

  • I think this Cardiff-Saints game is sending me to sleep. I think ML, esp Irish sides, far superior #EDFrugby #rugby #
  • @WillCarling do you watch much Magners League Will? #
  • This game has drastically improved in the first 5 mins of the 2nd half #EDFrugby #rugby #
  • How big is the attendance at #irebul tonight? #
  • @speedyian think you’re right there, I reckon 2-0 Ireland too #irebul #
  • Holy f… 1-0 Ireland after 60 seconds #irebul #
  • Ireland to defend for 89 minuts now? #irebul #

  • @mneylon The most ridiculous thing I’ve seen recently is that IBM should spend $6.5B buying Sun to get their cloud tech http://bit.ly/XAKJ in reply to mneylon #
  • @GeorgeReese @mneylon True. I wrked in Sun for ~7 yrs. I think the real gold there is R&D and their technologists. The $2B dripping away tho #
  • RT @sineadailill: feck this ye have yer wendyball so i’m straightening my hair! — lol #
  • Result: Ireland 1-1 Bulgaria. Boring. Inept. Own goal. Tactical subs in 90th min. Snores. Boos. Feckin wendyball. #irebul #
  • “Are our players good enough?” Yes, but they didn’t feckin try to win it after they were 1-0 up. Tried to defend 1-0 for 89 minutes = stupid #
  • @gerandclaire Agreed, S. Ireland discussion is a sideshow. Dunphy has a point, tthis team does look like rugby team under EOS #irebul in reply to gerandclaire #
  • The RTE montage at the end of #irebul makes the game look interesting. Might just watch that bit for #ireita next week #
  • What time is the F1 race starting (actually start time, not TV coverage) tomorrow morning? #
  • @NiallHarbison I think it’s 07.00 see here: http://bit.ly/zbmir Race: 1700 ( 0700 BST) in reply to NiallHarbison #
  • @eolai Yep, cheers for confirmation. I’ll be getting up at 6.45 for that in reply to eolai #
  • @NiallHarbison I don’t believe it. Coverage wouldn’t start at race start. in reply to NiallHarbison #
  • Got another ticket available for Leinster Ulster tomorrow evening, @reply if you want it #
  • @NiallHarbison the feckin clocks change tonight?!that’s why the time is that many hours from now. Ok, so it’s 6.45 BST tomorrow time in reply to NiallHarbison #
  • @PierreMcDermott You’re welcome, glad to help out. Let me know when you’re in Dublin for a pint in reply to PierreMcDermott #
  • RT @fantomaster: RT @slominski: Google’s Book Settlement Is a Ripoff for Authors http://tinyurl.com/cp6scr #
  • Still up because I’ve been trying to get some RSS goodness working. FeedWordPress+Feedburner+FeedburnerPlugin+exerpts+fullfeed==nightmare. #
  • But I got it working finally. Using Feedburner to create 2 feeds per blog, 1 partial, 1 full. Full is for subscribers. Partial is syndicated #
  • I’m using FeedWordPress to pull partials onto syndication blog. Messy bit was RSS.92 not having pub date & synd posts all same date. #
  • @NiallHarbison lol, I’m doing the same. It’s about 2.5 hours to kick off by my reckoning in reply to NiallHarbison #
  • Got 1 spare ticket for Leinster-Ulster, @reply me if you want to head #
  • @willcarling Pretty much all of the Irish players got through the 6N with no knocks – very happy with that! #rugby #
  • @suzybie how do you have the patience to watch and listen to so many Irish politicians? You deserve a medal for tolerance. in reply to suzybie #
  • “Rugby is meant to be a game of chess, and we are in danger of turning it into draughts.” RFU’s Cuthbertson. Great line. http://bit.ly/5T9ur #
