Marc O’Morain

• Been offered a job in the Digital Hub.
• Gone to Portugal for a holiday. Mum and Dad have been down here for a week already, and I am here for two. I forgot to bring my togs, so I…
• Bought a sweet new pair of O’Neill swimming togs for €70
• Had the car broken into and had my bag stolen from it.
• Found the bag 100m up the road.
• Without my new camera, togs and the cash that was in my wallet (The wallet itself was zipped back into the pocket of the bag it had been in, along with all my cards in a neat pile).
• Bought pink clothes. I now own a Ralf Lauren pink airtex.
• Dined with celebrities. Not really ‘celebrities’ actually, more like Chris Evans and Gazza ariving at the restaraunt we were at on Wednesday, in shorts and singing, and looking quite silly. Last night the presenter from Bull’s Eye was at the table next to us. lol?

When a seven-year-old watches Star Wars 4 after seeing 1,2 and 3: “Look… Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn’t know R2-D2.”

Last night the biggest spider I have ever seen that wasn’t in a Zoo or crawling across James Bond’s chest was in my bedroom.

Photos are on Flickr.

Also have a look at the new communist US[S]A.

lol?
