What is it about this country that is so adverse to rugby ? I scoured the county on Saturday to try and find a pub/club showing the European Cup matches - the only place doing so was my local rugby club, but they wouldn't let me watch because I wasn't a member. have you ever tried to become involved in a match with only audio for you information - v blinking difficult.
On a nicer side of things, am dramatically without a vehicle, and have to resort to trains and busses. It is amazing how much one is forced to slow the pace of things down when on public transport, not only that, but all responsability for delays are totally out of your hands. And sociable - over the past few days I have met a woman who emmigrated to Egypt in her 50s, only to return to Cornwall when her grandchildren were born in her 60s, a chap who is learning to become a Pilot in his spare time, and another woman who read some novel based in Cornwall as a girl and has travelled from Americia to visit all the places mentioned in the novel. It is fasinating stuff and I am arriving at work relaxed, sociable and having done lots of work on the train. Can't be bad.
Gearing up for 6 nations in a couple of weeks, am off to wales for the Ireland V Wales game - excitment, thrills and lots of shouting - perfect.

Ive been off blogging for a while, mainly because I've been off the internet. I finally got a new router, exchanged with no problems at PC World. I was so chuffed, especially as I brought it back in June, and it was in a scatty looking box.
What interesting people you have met while on public transport. I thought the idea of visiting places you've read about in book is great. I'm reading A star called Henry by Roddy Doyle, set around Dublin and beyond, and feel a holiday coming on.
Do you fancy a trip away when I've finished my studies?
