The Cork event is also blessed with natural disasters, heralding, as it does, terrible floods and Gale Force winds. It promises excitement in abundance.

I am unsatisfied with vague promises that we will "probably" go to a pub. Unless I am guaranteed several pints of Murphy's in the Oval, I'm boycotting this farce.
