Balance

The entire family had the pleasure of taking in the Gaelic Football Sevens yesterday afternoon in Aberdeen. As could only be expected when several hundred Irishmen and women gather in a celebration of their national sport, the Guinness flowed and the "to be sure's" where thick and fast. The Korean team proved victorous in the mens, despite being widely despised for their victory at all costs mentality. However I am pleased to report the Hong Kong women's team did the Big Lychee proud.

The day included a male stripper, whom in time honoured tradition managed to wear himself out by running the length of the field twice. Not to be outdone young PB, now in the second week of her toilet training, decided after the final game that the half-way line was a perfect place to practice her number ones. Thus disrobed she proceeded to spend a merry hour with her sister JC chasing her Daddy all over the park, running after the ball and showing extremely good form to boot (pun intended). Just trying to balance out the sexism in streakers.

Nothing in the world is funnier than when Irishmen say "To be sure." A vendor I work with is Irish, and I ask him to say it all the time. Since I am the customer (and since we get on well anyway), he has to give in and do it.

Some would say this is an abuse of power.

I prefer to call it humor.
