I wouldn't ride her into battle.

lol

If I had a bad of busted willies I wouldn't give her one.

I got some drivel through my letterbox from the great MP and landlord Alistair McDonnell. So I sympathise with getting unwanted propraganda through your door.

They mentioned it on Football Focus this afternoon. I can't see him starting.

Is there a record of who he will and will not meet?

I think it would be unfair to state that Rafa refuses to meet managers after games. I know he certainly has met many after games, it may not always be possible to meet all managers.

Have we any facts on who he would not meet?

I know, I relied on it for some information for coursework once and was sorely disappointed.

[Peter once auditioned for the part of Romeo in a local production of Romeo and Julliet but was told he was far too small and bald for the role. He does however describe this moment of rejection in his life as the point he decided that he would one day become the best small and bald Gaelic footballer in Ireland.]

I was bored browsing around the factual holy grail of wikipedia when I came across the following:

Canavan is from Glencull, near Ballygawley, County Tyrone[13] and was the tenth of eleven children.[2] His older brother, Pascal, played with him on the Tyrone panel for most of the 1990s. He is married to Finola (sister of former Tyrone team-mate Ronan McGarrity[13]), and has four children, Áine, Claire, Darragh and Ruairi,[16] and has been a Physical Education teacher in Holy Trinity College, Cookstown, throughout most of his career.[13][17] While there, he taught Eoin Mulligan his point-taking technique, and the pair have been known in the media as 'master and student' ever since, particularly by television commentators.[18] He also writes a column for the Gaelic games magazine, Hogan Stand[19] and the Northern Ireland edition of The Daily Mirror.[20] In 2008, Canavan joined TV3 as a football pundit for their first year of broadcasting live GAA matches.[21]

In 2003, just over a week before Tyrone's Ulster final appearance against Down, Canavan's father, Seán, died. It came as a shock to Canavan, who had thought his father (who was already in hospital) was getting better. He decided to play in the match, stating that he knew, subconsciously "[he] was going to be playing in the Ulster final all along and Daddy certainly wouldn't have wanted [him] to do anything but play."[22]

Canavan has suffered from asthma since he was a child, and has battled throughout his career to control the ailment. He told the Asthma Society of Ireland, "I thought to myself, this is something that I am just going to have to put up with." In later years, however, improved medication has afforded Canavan what he described as, "a better quality of life".[23] Canavan is in training for the 2008 Dublin Marathon, raising money for The Spirit of Paul McGirr group.[13]

Explains a lot!

I'm an avid Manchester United fan but it is becoming quite impossible to keep defending Chirstiano Ronaldo. The only thing I can compare him to at the moment is that drunk friend that every group has. He's constantly a liability and you'll be apologising on his behalf throughout the night. He will likely cost you a few pound. The next morning when you assess the nights events he'll preoccupy every photo album with pictures of his obnoxious grin. But, he's the life and soul of the party and when required is a great craic syringe from time to time...how could you disassociate yourself with that sort of guy!?
