I went along to the practice session in Faugheen this afternoon with Finn. Took well over 200 photos, most of which were rubbish. I filtered out the better ones and uploaded them to Flickr. Check them out here. All of the photos are straight from the camera besides being cropped and/or resized for the web. The ones on flickr are available up to about 2000px wide/tall.

The Faugheen 50 road races are on this weekend in Faugheen, Co. Tipperary - near Carrick-on-Suir. I’ll be going along with my camera unless the weather is really rubbish.

COCKS.

The man had climbed up the outside of the building and clambered into an apartment, where a number of items were stolen.

It is thought that he lost his footing while climbing back down, sustaining fatal head injuries.

Boo fucking hoo.

I don’t think we’ve seen a rain-free day here in well over a month now. While April was gloriously sunny, June and July have been complete and utter washouts so far. Depressing.

Even C&C are complaining that the crap weather is completely screwing sales of Bulmers.

On a completely unrelated note, I ordered a new SB-400 flash for my Nikon D50 from good old eBay, as my built-in popup flash is knackered and Nikon won’t honour the warranty on my camera since I got it in the USA
