there is something in the conspiratorial grandparent stories that always makes me smile, for me it was the "we will just go for a walk" and somehow include an icecream from the dairy.
In my case it was a visit to the pub, When I was 4 or 5, my maternal grandparents would collect me from my parents house at around 3:15 for the “Sunday walk”. Invariably after 45 minutes of rambling around Waterford, we would by magic find ourselves outside one of granddads many locals just as the Sunday 4 o clock opening time came around.
In we would go, and so started my education on the relative merits of Guinness (Draft versus Bottled), Beamish and Murphy’s. Quantity was strictly controlled, and I would “win” and extra packet of Tayto (crisps for you non Irish readers) when I could successfully identify the drink in question from the look and taste of the head.
My other role on the walk was to be displayed to my grand parent’s contemporaries, as the first grand-child I represented the next generation. As the years went by and I began unsupervised pub visits, I was often accosted with the greeting “your Billy’s grandson aren’t you”. It was kind of hard to misbehave with that level of surveillance.
After my grand father died I would sometimes visit one of his favourite haunts (not one of the “Sunday” destinations), stand at his spot and listen to his friends reminisce. I was never allowed to put my hand in my pocket and was always referred to as “Billy’s grandson“.
The pub in question was Moondarrig House, owned by the legendary, at least in Waterford, Tom Maher http://www.munster-express.ie/obituaries/obit_maher%20tom.html). Now that’s a story for another day

That was Tana Umaga as a young Wellington and Hurricanes winger. Except, unbelievably, Tana couldn't tackle then either.
Agreed - Nonu had a crap S14 but Smith had an even crappier one.

spelling alert - Nonu

Toeava will be in there and Nonu won't
Noni will, smith wont - its good to get back to the important stuff

Now what we need, to tie this all together nicely, is to hear that David Bain was at the party on the night of the chicken.
David is to young, but his dad on the otherhand ....
It's time to call in Mystery Inc, get Scooby on the case.

Why should they "give us a break", frankly what passes for news programs on TV1, 2 or 3 is a load of ratings driven bollox and not worth wasting your time on.
