Captains Bar

A bit of a dreich day out so I settled down to get scanning old photos. But then.. so much rugby.. and so hard not to watch at least some of it. What was that ref like in the France v Wales game? Jeesus, by the letter of the law, or what? And then of course, the game to give England the greatest grand slam of all (Guardian beforehand) - clearly those Irish must have been very lucky indeed ..
And then out to a gig. Yes, Declan MacManus at the Festival Theatre. It was pretty good - but his rearrangement of some classics I could have done without, and his voice can become grating. And his political Irish Liverpool posturings, sounded, well, exactly like that - posturings. OK, it was a bit shit.
Still, afterwards the Captains Bar was a fine uproarious place to hang out. And a lassie even got the pipes out. That's that over for another year. We weren't bottom!
