Weekend

We lost the big game at the weekend having got ourselves into a position where we could have won.

Winning 18 - 13 with less than a quarter of the game remaining, Ayr then managed to score two tries to win 18 - 25.

The referee for the game was one of those refereees who is consistently awful but somehow his decisions are always inconsistent during the same match, if that makes sense.

There were some excellent performances in our team - numbers 3,4,5 and 6 in the forwards and numbers 13 and 15 in the backs.

I also got my new bike at the weekend - a Trek 7200 - the only 25" frame left in the country so I'm told.

I gave her the debut ride this morning and she didn't disappoint me. She is a slick black bitch.

I am thinking about customising the paintwork on the frame. Details to follow.

Saturday night - number 13 above hosted a flatwarming - the West Ferryfield Wii Olympics - it was great fun competing in different events on the Wii - an excellent addition to drinking in a flat.

There was a fair amount of rum knocking about and I was quite happy knocking back large Mount Gay and fiery ginger beers all night.

If TD fell into a bucket of nipples though, he would come out sucking his thumb. Hard luck mate.
