Tv capping websites

Some of you may know that I posted pictures (thanks ddandd) on reportercaps, but unfortunately that site has been closed. Most of the cappers are now on TvNewsCaps. This is where I get pictures you see off the telly.

I had somehow won the NFL Playoff Pool, beating all the americans and only watched for 2 weeks before this started. after pjane invited me on facebook to come over to this new proboard.

Some of the other guys also run Hi-Def News Caps blog and Hi-def News Cap proboard

This is why American football livescores are at the bottom of this blah (I just put rugby there to try it first).

Scrum V, STV Rugby and my own internet sites

Cumnock RFC Chatboard Link

I just put this on Cumnockrugby chatbaord, I know I don't talk Cumnock RFC on here, but this wasn't officially sanctioned Cumnock RFC news, so it's more about me than news on Cumnock RFC. So here it is:-

Some of you guys may know I try to watch Srcum V on Friday nights and the welsh legend Rick O'Shea. Its on the BBC red button from 7pm. Cardiff blues had an amazing try just before the end of the first half. They are playing Munster. beever asked me if Jamie Roberts was playing. I text scrum to 81012 and got an answer oh "not soon enough" from Rick.

Also if you don't watch fanscrene, watch STV rugby on Sundays at 5.30pm. It is now giving Magners league highlights on all that weekends games.

I forgot to put my name on the text, so just got the answer.

If any of the rest of you use twitter, remember to follow me on twitter for Cumnock RFC news (even when Jim and Harry post on the blog, you get a tweet from me), my normal tweets including #followfriday and my thomasblah (nothing to do with rugby)

Good morning guys, thought I had better do one of these.

Firstly it was a shock for Andy Murray to lose last night.

Friday:- got to work and got told your off Saturday (as I had said I wanted to go to the rugby at Oban), do the rota. Now I did one where I could have done backshift most of the week. There was 2 members of staff off in supermarket but thankfully they got somebody else from dayshift.

Everything went really well at work that day. I had to cut the amounts of days for somebody else but that was ok.

Friday night 5.15 I got the bus into Ayr and got a train to Glasgow. I had already booked a hotel for £30 a night. I got there, but had to taxi to the Argyll Guest House in Sauchiehall Street. The room was across the road from reception. The room was very clean, good facilities, good bathroom and normal sized bed.

I had went up to go and see Rockaoke in Oneills in Sauchiehall Street where Kirsty Crawford was there. Unfortunately I didn't know many people there. I got there about obout 8pm. I wanted to sing all the small things, but that was claimed already. I started with American Idiot by Green Day. I thought there was going to be a screen, there wasn't. I did lose my place but it was ok. In the 2nd half I started it with Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis. It was a great night. I had about 7 pints I think and got asked to leave about midnight. The security guard was right there. I couldn't say goodbye to Kirsty though, sorry about that. I went to a shop and got a taxi to guest house after getting muchies.

Next morning I got up at 7am, hungover ofcourse. I had booked a taxi for 830am. I had to go down to Q8 services at Kilmarnock to get bus to Oban Lorne RFC.

I got there on time and even managed to get lunch fae Greggs.

The rugby was very wet. We visited The Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum. It looked really good, apart from the fact there wasn't enough staff as long wait for teas. People were late back for the bus. I even sell some of the stuff they have in there. I also reckon its profit margins look like 50/60% (just my opinion).

We got to Oban Lorne RFC about 215pm and the players got warmed up quickly as the rain continued. We just lost. I stayed sober coming back down as I working Sunday.

Ok, got home about 1030pm, tired. I didn't stay up late that night.

Since then its been basically working. Sunday 10-5 then backshift Essentials btu got a good lunch on Monday at Wellington Cafe, Ayr for £3.

Now I aint sure when my dayoff next is next week.
