Can't wait for this,I for one will be glued to the TV next week from Thursday to Sunday.
Amen Corner will no doubt provide some great viewing.

Hard to know who is going to win this one,Villegas is on fire at the moment so might be worth a punt also Els and Furyk are in good form.
Not to sure about Harrington,he has had a couple of Top 10's this year but he seems to have gotten into a habit of blow up holes lately where he gets double bogey or sometimes worse,usually happens on the last day aswell.

I'm going to go with a few each way bets of

Martin Kaymer @ 35/1
Camilio Villegas @ 33/1
Lee Westwood @ 25/1
Paul Casey @ 22/1

I am also going put a small amount on Tiger Woods not to make the cut @ 6/1

Just heard,not sure how bad it is but there is a huge smoke cloud over the city at the moment

So we are coming to the end of the decade,only seems likes yesterday we were all worried about the Y2K bug and making plans for what we do for the Millennium New Years Eve

This time 10 years ago I was in my 3rd year of my apprenticeship and living in Limerick as I was in Limerick I.T for my 6 month college block,I had a '97 VW Golf and a hell of a lot more hair  ,I think I was going out with some girl from Mullingar as well 

I see this is getting a run in the Point Depot(O2) in January,has anyone been to it?
I am a big fan of Queens music and want to go..
Had to sit through Mamma Mia a few years ago with the woman so now its my turn!

Just wondered if its worth going just to hear the music or is the play itself any good?

St. Stephen's Day for me

The woman says to me this morning as she was leaving for work to take some steak out of the freezer before I left for work for the dinner tonight.
I of course forgot to do it ..
Now to save myself some earache tonight when she gets home I was wondering how safe would it be to throw the steaks into the microwave to de frost them?

[Half of Irish people losing battle of the bulge]

Half of Irish people losing battle of the bulge

Almost half of the Irish population are overweight or dangerously obese new research has revealed,and Tipperary tips the scales as the most overweight county in the country

[La Liga - Espanyol captain Jarque dies]

La Liga - Espanyol captain Jarque dies

Espanyol captain and defender Dani Jarque has died from heart failure while on a pre-season tour of Italy.

The 26-year-old Jarque had trained in the morning but collapsed in his hotel room in Coverciano while talking to his girlfriend on the telephone in the early evening, Spanish media reports said.
"The Espanyol player died due to a systolic heart failure," the club said.
"(Club doctor) Doctor Cervera tried CPR on the player and used a defibrillator but said it was not possible to resuscitate.
"Within minutes, the first emergency ambulances arrived from Florence, and tried their defibrillators but again were unable to resuscitate."
Medical services tried to revive Jarque for an hour before pronouncing the player dead, the club said.
"Espanyol are distraught and wish to put themselves at the complete disposal of our captain's family," they added.
Club director German de la Cruz told radio station RAC1: "It's inexplicable. It's horrific.
"We are returning to Barcelona on Sunday but we can't come back with the coffin because they have to do an autopsy to confirm the cause of death.
"The players are destroyed. One minute he was there with them, and the next he's gone. It's terrible."
The club had been due to play friendlies against Bologna and Livorno in the coming days, on their Italian tour.
Jarque came up through the youth ranks at Espanyol, helping them win the King's Cup in 2006 and to reach the UEFA Cup final in 2007, and had just been made captain of the club for the new season.
Jarque's death comes nearly two years after that of Sevilla midfielder Antonio Puerta who died on August 28, 2007, three days after collapsing during a Primera Liga match against Getafe.
European champions Barcelona, who are Espanyol's city rivals, sent their condolences to the Jarque's family from their American tour base in San Francisco.
"We are filled with extreme sadness at this tragic event and tonight we are in mourning," said Barca president Joan Laporta.
"On behalf of Barcelona, we want to send our deepest sympathies to Espanyol for the painful loss of their captain Dani Jarque, and to his family."
A minute's silence was observed at the start of the second half of a pre-season friendly at the Mestella Stadium where Valencia were taking on English side Arsenal.
Players from both sides also wore black armbands.
Real Madrid as well as the Spanish football federation sent their condolences to Jarque's family.

Hi all

A few weeks ago I asked advice on getting a website done for a new venture of mine,I got loads of great advice and I'd like to thank all the lads who pm'd me.
I haven't got the cash to get a professional one done at the moment so I decided to do it myself.
The site is quite basic I would be the first to admit but I hope it gets the message across of what it is I am doing and the services I  provide,and hopefully if the venture proves successful I will get a more professional website done,though in saying that the success of the business does not rest on the website as I am using many forms of advertising.

If you get a minute to have a look at the site I would appreciate it and maybe you might be or might know someone who may be interested in my services.

Thanks

I want two websites for a couple of different scams ventures I am currently trying to get up and going.
I have got a few quotes from people to create these websites for me,I was wondering though is there a software package on the market that will allow you to make your own website?
I'm fairly handy with the video editing software etc so I thought that this wouldn't be much different or harder that matter especially if its a drag and drop type of thing..
Anyone and good recommendations?

Top 10 as regards favourites are

Woods 15/8
Garcia 16/1
Mcilroy 20/1
Harrington 22/1
Stenson 25/1
Poulter 28/1
Casey 28/1
Westwood 28/1
Kim 30/1
Els 33/1


If Harrington wins this it will be his greatest win IMHO,he is playing so bad this year I just can't see it though.
Would love to see Casey win and I will stick a few quid on him,as well as Garcia as usual
