Things I learned this Christmas

Puuuuuuure laziness!

  • For some reason Guinness has started going straight to my head lately, resulting in one hugely embabrassing and traumatising experience which no amount of therapy will help!
  • I can make a mean Tiramisu when pushed!
  • Having a bottle of Dom Perignon sent to your table rocks! (Even if you do have to share it with the other 11 heads at your table!)
  • The food in Bang is still phenomenal but the service has kinda nosedived
  • There really are no decent pubs that serve beyond 9pm in Cork city on Christmas Eve
  • My family really do go mental when it comes to christmaspresentbuying
  • There seems to be nothing one of my brothers can't figure out when it comes to de technology - and that includes converting the instructions on my new camera from Chinese to English - who knew he spoke Mandarin?! (Thanks Dale!)
  • Nintendo Wii ROCKS!! Its debatable which was funnier - playing doubles tennis in a room the size of a small Rathmines bedsit or watching the grandparents playing (and kicking ass) on Wii bowling!
  • One of my other brothers makes a mean salmon roulade - I think the secret is in the nuts but he'll probably dispute that! (Nice one Wayne!)
  • Evening weddings are the way to go
  • The Clarion in Cork kicked arse at said wedding reception - Jurys in Limerick could learn a thing or two (am I going on about that too much?!)
  • Karl Spain needs some new material
  • I'm over New Years parties
Happy New Year kids!

Totally with you on the Wii. I played for the first time over Christmas and man, I want one so badly...

Honest to god Red! My brother brought his one home for christmas and we were completely addicted - there was a collective whinge from the whole family when he selfishly decided to take it back to Limerick with him (something to do with having to work or some nonsense!)
