This verse-with-twist from ‘Munkfisht’ won yesterday’s romantic rugby giveaway.
He/she will get to probably literally surprise a loved one with tickets to the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin tomorrow night for Leinster’s match against Newport Gwent Dragons.
Mmf.
Thanks all.

[A scene familiar to yesterday’s #stormdarwinwatchers on the Knocklisheen Road, Co Clare]
As Storm Darwin struck Co Clare, Mark Quaid left his van to rescue a mother and her two children.
Then he heard a creaking noise.
The next minute, the builder from the Ennis Road near Coonagh, said he “turned around and a tree was falling on the van just as I was walking back to it. It totally wrecked it,” he said.
The 37 year old Good Samaritan then left to get help for himself but on returning said that someone had stolen all his tools from the stranded van.
That’ll learn him.
Ah here.

“Yeah, I mean, in fairness to the journalist John Mooney, he broke this story, he got a scoop, he did his job, and he published it in the public interest. But it has caused a major problem for the Ombudsman. Because Simon O’Brien knows that he has a major security problem in GSOC, he has at least one mole and possibly more than one mole leaking secret information and details, possibly documents, in an organisation that holds highly secret and confidential information, and it’s been going on for almost a year. And GSOC still doesn’t know if it was under electronic surveillance. And if it was, by whom?”

“The original newspaper story that sparked this controversy was pretty accurate in its detail, in that it mentioned wi-fi networks, conference phonecalls and so on but it also went on to cite unnamed sources, saying that there was ‘government-level technology involved’. Well, obviously, there doesn’t appear to have been and that raises the question of who leaked the information and, to borrow a phrase from a couple of years ago, who sexed up this particular dossier? And then there’s the question of not telling the minister, understandable perhaps at the time but scarcely credible now that the whole controversy seems to have been nothing more than something of a bottle of smoke.”
