Munster play Llanelli tomorrow evening in the quarter final of the European Rugby Cup.
We’re going by road, which means that Bullet and myself have to get up at four in the morning to catch the Rosslare ferry. Christ Almighty.
The game is at 7.30 tomorrow evening and on Saturday we’re going to watch Sunderland [...]
So the lawyers aren’t going to suffer a crippling reduction in fees after all. What a relief.
It looked for a while as if they were going to be forced to manage on a measly €1000, but no. Common sense prevails and their fees remain at a richly-deserved €2500. Per day.
