Day 799, 13:23 • Published in Ireland Cuba • by Harrilal

Man of the match - Quinntan

De eIrish team came out blazin'.
Four batsmen fell to Captain Harrilal's spinners. Memphis' leg-breakers managed to break t'ree batsmen. Wauters' two rounded up de count wit' his medium pace. Assistin' de bowlers was keeper, John Gormley who was at de top of his game, catchin' out twice, stumpin' twice an' runnin' out a batsman! Pip Kelly an' addman619 bot' contributed in de field wit' a catch each.

De Shamrocks moved in an' mash up eAustralia in dey first match of de season.
Openers Quinntan an' Gabriel Peddie held de eAustralian bowlers completely at bay. De boys on de bench were actually rootin' for de Australians down to de end because dey wanted a chance to bat! De pair was havin' none of dat an' stayed right to de finish. For de behemot' efforts on de pitch, Quinntan was awarded Man of de Match (as illustrated above).

Now, dis eh no reason for dem to get cocky an' rest on dey laurels. Dey still have seven matches to go an' anyt'ing could happen! Stay tuned for more results in de comin' weeks. Hopefully we'll go right to de top!

Ask Harrilal!

einberliner asks, "My question is why *don't* you have political experience? Are you simply not interested in politics?"
Up until late November I had zero interest. I was content to just watch and write when I felt to, with the occassional deployment. I don't quite know what made me change my mind, but I just remember feeling slightly obligated all of a sudden.

Of course, I decided not to run in December because it was holidays and I figured I shouldn't commit to congress when I knew I would be reduced to 2-click status for some time. Then these elections I was needed to block the PTO, so my intention to really contest a seat was put on the back burner. While I do intend to run again next month, who knows what February will hold?

Teutorix Aleria asks, "What is your favourite flavour of ice-cream?"
I always get Neapolitan. However, if I had to choose ONE flavour, it's a toss up between butterscotch, coconut and French vanilla. Due to its rarity where I currently am, coconut would be my choice if I saw it.

Sweet Drinker asks, "Why has Harrilal decided to offer his high manufacturing skill to a Q1 Irish State Weapons company?"
My previous company was a 90+ wellness. After I moved for congress, I forgot that Northwest only had a Q2 Hospital and fought down low. Out of fairness to my employers, I dropped from their company (I was at 60's wellness) and hopped into a state company where I knew my productivity would still be useful while I recovered. Now that I'm back in a Q5 region, I will be looking for a job that is better suited to me (ie. Mo' MONEY!).

Sean Power asks, "Which of the articles that you have written did you find most difficult to write?"
Um. That's a tough one. I like to write and I only really write what I like, so none of them were terribly difficult to write. Probably the UK-Irish one. Mainly because I had to be careful not to step on any toes and cause trouble. It wasn't difficult to do, but I did think about my wording a little more than usual.

John Gormley asks, "Why do you always answer questions that weren't actually intended for "Ask Harrilal!"?"
If I am scraping the barrel, I do it. Sometimes there aren't enough 'real' questions and I just zero in on anything that has a question mark on it to make the five. Other times I just feel like being a smartypants.

And that’s five!
Remember folks! The first five (5) questions asked in the comments of this article, will be answered in my next article!
