There Must Be An Irish Pub In Tallinn

"You dust the bottles on the bar counter you're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin sometimes it's good to lose your pride
These things we do to keep the flame burning and write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turning another avenue to try
It's in the luck of the draw baby the natural law
Forget those movies you saw little baby it's in the luck of the draw,the natural law"

Luck Of The Draw-Bonnie Raitt


Yes folks we're heading to Estonia,given the choices of Turkey,Bosnia,Montenegro or Estonia Ireland drew Estonia in the Euro 2012 playoffs this morning in Poland which is one of the two choices I would have made,Turkey in Istanbul will be hostile as all hell,Bosnia pushed France all the way in their qualifying group and only lost out on top spot by a single point,that left Montenegro or Estonia,neither are push overs but given Ireland's 1.4 playoff record since 95{losses to Holland,Belgium,Turkey and France and one victory over Iran in 01 to reach the 02 World Cup finals}we needed a slice of luck and got it w/ a trip to Estonia on November 11th and the return leg at home in Dublin on November 15th.


Another grey and overcast evening as I ran my 6 miles to put me at 30 miles for the week going into my rest day tomorrow{heading over to The Keswick at Glenside to get Howard Jones tickets for next Thursday}we'll have to wait and see what Saturday brings and my 3x2mile repeats.
