Time for the first trip of the week to the World Grand Prix at Citywest, where delightfully I was on the guestlist thanks to my travelling officialdom over the past couple of years. Accompanying me this evening were brother Austin amd Mark "The Spark" Delaney, who joined me on the Luas at St. James' and Belgard tram stops respectively. With time to spare upon arrival, we moseyed up to the Players Lounge where the sole remaining Irish representative in the competition Brendan Dolan was in the process of getting his game face on, through the gentle gradual sipping of bottles of finest American rice-juice. (that would be Budweiser)
We then headed down to the auditorium itself, where the audience numbered about 400 and enjoyed a quartet of matches, the highlight of which was Brendan's 3-1 win over former World Champion John Part, putting him into the quarter-finals and guaranteeing him £10,000. Nice work!
Despite the action not finising until 11.40pm, there were still LUASes running back into town, so we hopped on one and disembarked at various points, me going to the complete other end of the line, bar one station. Handy out!

Day 242 - Tuesday, August 30th, 2011
Cineworld was re-visited this evening for the first time in months and the chosen cinematic offering was Super 8 (6.5 out of 10) which was an entertaining romp that was a cross between E.T. and Stand By Me. Well acted, good storyline, very far-fetched in places. As it is coming towards the end of its run, there was pleasingly only about 20 other people in attendance, and mercifully none of them were beastly guffawing urchins.Great success!
Providing wonderful entertainment on the LUAS ride home were two drunk or drugged-up ladies who were heading on the ferry to Holyhead to buy a bottle of vodka. Without exaggeration, they told each other every 20 seconds that they were starving and couldn't wait to go to the chipper, and bizarrely they got off at Spencer Dock which is 2 miles from the ferry port and a mile from the nearest chipper. Hilarious space cadets!
Super 6-and-a-half
