Lamped!

LAMPED!
(Click on image to enlarge) As everyone knows the demand for tickets was mental. Traffic was just as diabolical. It took a Corkman to find a solution to both problems at once: dropping in on the party via helicopter and proudly locating himself where the law weren't paid to go....REBEL OR WHAT LIKE!!!!		Down at the Waterford end pockets of Cork resistance appeared moments before kick off, none so fierce in bravery as those holding aloft a PRC banner. With so many People's Republic Of Cork unit members on Berite Ahern's Most-Wanted list this brigade showed their colours in defiant style. It is unknown if they were later questioned by Special Branch after making several appearances on RTE television.
While it was no surprise to anyone that Cork notched up 3 goals there was brief concern at Cork's leakage. During the warm up PRC twigged the problem. Donal ” needs to practice with bigger goals - not the under-3s size one he insists on using to practice his much admired skills.		Fair play to the feens in Tipperary who know how to make a Cork man feel welcome outside the motherland. A small community of Cork house music fans have set up a town between Thurles and Tipperary town named after the much loved Ball 'n' Chain or simply Balla to its biggest fans.
Many of the wackers and sooped-up car owners who read this site will be delighted to learn that in remote places like Tippereary town very high standards of vehicle decoration are firmly in place. You mightn't speak the same language as the locals but the language of spolilers and hub caps is universal. Flames biys! Flames!		"Home of Hurling" Tipperary???? After Cork claimed the Munster Hurling title for the 49th time, Osama Bin Murphy paused briefly on his way back from Thurles to highlight scandalous planning procedures used by Tipperary County Council. He said "basic facts have been ignored here like, it wrecks me head".
