Friday 21 January

Hello all, hope we are ok out there.

Its been really a couple of weeks since I did this kind of blog, not jokes. Thanks for all the nice comments on them @tookiebunten @melbide @acw86 and anyone else who enjoyed them (I did direct it to certain people).

Last weekend I was very happy when Cumnock RFC got some games. The Saturday I was at 1st XV game and it had been about 2 months since the guys played. Cumnock won 26-0 against Clydesdale. It was a good warm up as the boys at times were rusty and it fet good watching them got on a pitch after 10 weeks off. That evening I stayed around club to 730 (by which point I had details of 2nd XV win) then headed home and watched Man City game which was very good. The next day I went upto church and went down to club to open up for Under 16s playing. I was kept going with doing report and the rush to soft drinks after game. I am glad I have done my turn.

Monday after rugby stuff I relaxed ALL DAY until committee meeting at night and it was a good meeting. Tuesday I was trying to fix TV problems, which wasn't easy. I got home at 325 and made chicken for dinner. I ate that and headed back to Cumnock at 5pm and got a flu jab. It's very easy and I felt no side effects. Next headed back home before going to quiz at Royal Hotel at 8pm. Ayr did well that night with beating Hibs. We won the quiz so it was a good day.

Wednesday I completed fixing telly and tried to buy video recorder on ebay, trouble is very late bidding kept beating me. I think they might have been stuck to screen to make sure they won.

Yesterday I watched Andy Murray win 2nd round quite easily then went to EACH for Physio class. It was good to get busy there and definately enjoyed my bath in the afternoon.

Then I went down to rugby saw about 1st XV team so it can go in the programme which you can buy this weekend and s1/2 when they need bar for Sunday as they are at home.

Next I headed upto The Sun Inn and saw Billy Connelly there.

I took a video.

all there it is and thats about it for this stuff. All this leaves is some #followfriday

Bye for now.

This week so far

Health is ok the now, still feel fine.

On Tuesday I was down at rugby club watching new tills come in. It lasted for a while but we got there. My team got me there and I got home in time for dinner. Went to quiz Tuesday night and we were 2nd or 3rd. I got bus home with 1 minute to spare.

Wednesday I caught up with some telly. Saw Stuart (a regular reader of this) and did wwe stuff.

I went back home and watched even more telly until 7pm where I headed for Club. It was quiz night and our team won again. Watching Batman movies may not be great, but you know who the pengiun is.

Thursday morning I was at EACH for 915. Got my bloods done and got a physio assessment. There is a class in afternoon that I can goto to see how I actually am physically. One of the physios I already knew from time in hospital.

Thursday afternoon I headed to Glasgow and Braehead. As some of you know me and Ian are going to WWE Smackdown, but I had never been to Braehead arena, but I know now how to get in.

I headed back to Glasgow on the bus and got lunch. Trouble was when I was at lunch this place had wifi but I couldn't use twitter, grrr.

At 7pm Tron Legacy was being shown at Glasgow Science Centre IMAX. As you guys may have known I had a free voucher to see 23 minute preview which opens fully on my birthday. When we went to seats we were told it was a sell out. I think what happenned was all the vouchers were taken but not everyone came because there was seats left. Now this is my first 3d movie and as you know I wear specs. When text came on the screen I know I had to put my normal glasses on and the IMAX 3d specs fit infront of normal glasses.

The film looks amazing (I opened my mouth at 3d graphics and the prespective (wow!)). Some of it is in 2d but you still keep glasses on. The screen is HUGE. The staff in Glasgow Science Centre are really helpful, bubbly (even the projectionist) who was getting people watching the film to talk on camera. I had said no to it. I dont tend to do cameras. I promised at the end I would do a blog on it, so here it is.

I headed back to Glasgow and got 9pm bus to Kilmarnock then headed for train station as I discovered there was a 9.51pm train to Auchinleck which gave me 10 minutes to get from Bus Station to Train Station. Did that easily.

Right I am going to do my twitter #followfridays next:-

@barrysnedden @leannehurt @gsc1 @tgoatcapper @currentmartin @glasgowshopping @glasgowwarriors @techmeerkat @gordonwhite @fatbuzz @Real MackaySTV @weeyin13 @tweetybear67 @laybenxD @xstex @ms_cornwall @caldjr @cdhinton @_alexham @usaairman @slashasterisk @LJ_chi @sunnythesurf @donniehunter @beever @alexander_jones @shadwell1970 @mikeantwerp @tookiebunten @tezzer57 @ailsacraigy @joreynolds55 @_maryannham @birssy @wendyhurrell @polly_evans @acw86 @pitchero @darkflare @stvnews @alexsandr_orlov @thethumbcast

I use followfriday for people who actually interact with me (with only a few exceptions) so if you want on this list, interact with me (that excludes spammers)!

Tomorrow, Butlins reunion at Rabbies Bar Ayr in afternoon, better not drink too much Irn Bru. Next Cumnock RFC Halloween Party and Charity Halloween Party at Royal.

Sunday just quite day down at rugby.

You all have a great Friday.

rugby, twitter #followfriday and other stuff.

Good afternoon all, no pictures the now. Thought you might have had enough from yesterday. The broadband signal was playing up for a number of days there, so grrr. It appears to be working a lot better now.

I did my #followfridays at midnight last night, so I haven't had to worry about doing them during today. Here is the list:
@cdhinton @braescotland @_alexham @tezzer57 @tookiebunten @jscognam @faulko1 @weeyin13 @dezbee2008 @lisaseat @josh_biggs @centcaps @sophielouiseJ @tourscotland @clueless_bimbo @queenofscots67 @lliswerryguy @ceggs @evilnanny @shadwell1970 @slashasterisk @jennired @caldjr @xsex @ms_cornwall @barrysnedden @natcoombs @mikeantwerp @rbmartin @wendyhurrell @pitchero @wossy @stephenfry @westfm @itvtakemeout @joindave @achrisevans @tweetybear67 @alanwho @joreynolds55 @dezbee2008 @b26marauder @cumnockchron @birssy @djmissfrenchie @kjmurdoch @campbellclaret @bbclauraK

At the rugby club last night I had a number of beers which was good, for some of the hard work I have been doing down there, but I volunteered to do bar Tuesday nights until I get a job. Its not a long shift anyway. I think there is football on English BBC next Tuesday, so I will be able to watch it. We have a committee meeting on Monday.

Catriona was down in the club last night, the person organising the Burns Supper for Saturday 6th February. After seeing the Cumnock Chronicle website on Wednesday and it mentioning Cumnock RFC Burns Supper. Bobby Horton (the chairman of the event) was also there. I was glad I was down in the club to see how they got on organising it. They even got other people who were not buying a ticket to go to it. On the same day Cumnock is away to Cowal (Dunoon) with a noon kick-off. I wonder how long it takes to get back from Dunoon back to Cumnock?

The Cumnock Chronicle did put the email I did into the paper (bottom right of page 31 (2nd last page). Everybody I showed the paper liked the fact it was in the paper (yeah, I didn't get shouted at). I did the right thing.

After that I went into The Sun, tried Fireflies (which I cannot do) and went down that ice path to the bus stands.

Then I got home, had a bite to eat and did some work on the tvnewscaps british threads site as my computer was going quicker and had a very nice chat with sabrina about snow.

I went to bed at 2.30 (and went straight to sleep) and got up at 9am this morning. American Idol has started again and I watched the Atlanta one this morning, you can see from the packages if they are good singers or not before they go up. The biggest point ofcourse was #pantsontheground song. Thankfully the general is 62, so he was slightly above 28 year old limit. Here is the video link

Just watch it!

Lunchtime, I am away.

Follow Friday 18 December

Well after a well deserved lie in due the amount of beer I drank last night on my birthday I think I had better do my Follow Friday.

Follow Friday, My weekend and why I am rugby daft

I got to sleep after 2am this morning. Since I got up I have put my washing on, done my follow friday's on twitter @weeyin13 @lisaseat @tookiebunten @_alexham @birssy @faulko1 @shadwell1970 @caldjr @lliswerryguy @dezbee2008 @backstory @holmescnn @iamboutique @bellahomecouk @evilnanny @ceggs @josh_biggs @aexavf @thegreenwelly @braescotland @unahealthyfan @davidforster @b26marauder @centcaps @tweetybear67 @birssy @tezzer57 @ms_cornwall @djmissfrenchie @thepathtoamen @kidsonbridges @jonallenmusic @lesleygunn @absoluteradio @lj_chi @michaeljbyers @michaelmcguk @openallmics @thetwitcleaner @westfm @pitchero @iainmhepburn @craigmcgill @fallout666 @cumnockchron

For fuller descriptions from last weeks Follow Friday click here.

I also had to update news on where the Cumnock minis are going on Sunday. I did this in several ways. So I posted it within their own age groups I did a club news on all the teams details for this weekend in club news on pitchero Cumnock site. I then updated facebook with a note and then I sent an update to all the fans of Cumnock RFC on facebook. That should cover most of my computer stuff. I also had to add a pdf into club documents for mini/midis as well for Scotland/Glasgow/Edinburgh.

I know I am busy Saturday. Weather permitting I am videoing my 1st team rugby game (the head coach asked me, I don't say no to him (I am there to help)), having dinner at home then doing bar that night in the club.

Sunday I have 2 or 3 different youth teams playing at home and then do reports (myself) maybe for one or two sets for paper (plus advertise for more players in paper for another youth team).

I had better say one team is off this weekend and the youngest ones are away from home (which I will sent reports for that night or next day to put on website).

You wonder why I talk rugby as much (does that explain the role at the club as webmaster, me).

I hope that answers why I am rugby (and computer) daft. If I am boring you just check the jokes I posted earlier this week (down the blog).

Thomas Cunningham
Cumnock RFC Webmaster.
