O'Mankie meets his hero.......

[Frank Gallagher]

.....well one of them anyway.
 
 In the music world, there's only three people I would really like to meet and I met one last night.
 
 We went to The Beautiful South show at the Cork Opera house last night....great show for those interested. Anyway, after the show we were walking to the car and happen to walk past the stage door. Low and behold if it isn't Paul Heaton himself stood at the back door signing a few autographs for folk. Not being one who's interested in meeting celebs, I had to make an exception this time. He was more than happy to sign our ticket stubs. I thanked him and shook his hand and he just said, "thank you for coming to the show".....what a decent bloke to say he's quite the big celeb in UK/Ireland.
 
 Oh, the other two? Morrissey and Bowie.

Didn't you know...Morrissey and Bowie are the same person?  You only need meet him once.

I thought you were going to say you had met Shane....
 
 Well now you have started hanging around the stage door, what is going to be next, groupie?

[Barcelona]

I was thinking about Shane as well, or Mike Scott. Have you visited the place where the Waterboys recorded Fisherman Blues? By the way, tonight pay attention to both games, not only Man. United-Milan. the one at Stamford Bridge is going to be great. I am going to see the game here in Bolivia with Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich fans that can't stand Mourinho.

I thought maybe he was going to say he met one of the dudes from Carbon Leaf.

 He thinks he met Heaton, but it was really Jeremy Beadle in disguise.

[vansmack]

I was thinking you were in Milan with Keano.

[ggw]

I thought you met this guy.

[Frank Gallagher]

I would include Shane, but I think it would be a bit of a disaster seeing as he hates the English like he does.....me being English and all.
 
 Mike Scott would be interesting, but with him being on another planet from the rest of us, I don't think we would quite hit it off.
 
 I was just narrowing it down to the top three.
 
 Barca....I hope to God your team can put that arrogant pig Mourinho out of the competition. The honeymoon period is over for him in the UK now, so everyone is sick of his comments at this point. He's already complaining about tonights match and it hasn't even happened yet!!!!!!! I'm hoping Milan are marking RVN so close they don't see Scholesy and Rooney sneaking in to get a goal a piece and get through to the last 8!!!!

[brennser]

wow - chelski are up 3-0 after 20 mins!

[Barcelona]

what about Ronaldinho's second goal? One of the best we may have ever seen? 3-2. Right now we are there, quarter finals, but this can finish 5-2 or 3-4, what a game!!!

[brennser]

yeah, a 5 goal 1st half - unbelievable!

[Barcelona]

Shit, how disappointing.

[Frank Gallagher]

Didn't see the Chelski v Barca match...and couldn't even stomach watching anymore footie after United's exit....but I'm sure it was an entertaining game, even if a high scoring game at this level speaks volumes of weak defences.
 
 United were beaten by a much better team... MY GOD! Even the 42nd battalion of the Royal Marines with air support from the RAF Tornado Squadron couldn't have broken down that defence. Hats off to Milan. I hope they go all the way now.
 
 My prediction ....... United will spend a few £££'s during the summer, win the Champions League next year and Roy Keane will retire after the match.

I don't want to talk about football right now.  Too sad.
