sweep 17 June 2010
Well, the French team didn’t cover themselves in glory at the World Cup tonight and my plan to win money in the work sweep (they are the team I drew) in order to salvage Irish pride at being knocked out (in VERY dodgy circumstances) by those French lads is fast becoming a distant hope. They may not get out of their group at the rate they’re going, having been beaten by Mexico just now – the delight there is that the Mexican team wear green, like the Irish, so the nation as one got behind them and made them honorary Irish for the night. So there is comfort in the drubbing of the French team even if my dream of a cash win is fading – it’s for the greater good…all is well…
Tomorrow I get to look like, pretty much, the Bride of Frankenstein at work (stifle those cheap jibes, I’ve made ‘em all myself for 48 years!) and so, again, I must utter the words ‘ah, the glamour…’
