Ireland 2- Georgia 1. Ireland win important world cup qualifier with a bit of luck

I have to admit I was very worried for the majority of this game. We went behind in the first minute and we didn't look very good for the whole first half. But we pulled this one out of the bag and are now only behind Italy on goal difference! We'll have to raise our game vs Bulgaria and Italy next month in order to stay on track for qualification!

Ireland 30 - France 21 - Ireland beat France finally!

Really enjoyed the historical win over France. It was an excellent match and we had brilliant seats, so glad I didn't have to pay for them... and now here is hoping the soccer team can win tonight because I'm going to that game too!

Mission accomplished on 360

Got some dual layer blanks, Verbatim's and some Infiniti's and they both work fine. So I won't be buying the expensive Verbatim's again!

Flashing my Xbox 360

I'm 99% sure I've successfully flashed my Benq Xbox 360 dvd drive. If only I had a few blanks to back up some of my 360 games! I think it was worth the effort even just to set the DVD drive's max spin speed to 8X. It's running much quieter now!

I followed these instructions here:

NB These instructions will only work if you have a BENQ dvd drive in your 360.

Metallica - Death Magnetic

The kings of metal have finally returned with a superb new (yet well overdue) album. I like every single track, this is a real return to form after the shambles that was St.Anger.

James splashing out already on the hopes that his new cash cow will do well?

CHECK IT OUT!

Nice Balbriggan running circuit :)

Tough enough going, but well worth the effort. Must time myself next time!
