    Sleepless nights? Definitely when your bed is stolen

    Tommy

    I walked into my room today to find both Crofty’s and my bed missing.  The sheets were perfectly folded on the ground, but mattresses and beds gone.  I love when this starts because it’s time now to think how we’re going to get revenge.  At the minute there are a few suspects who are out to get us but I can’t reveal anything at the moment. 

    Any good ideas to get revenge will be greatly appreciated, but we need something pretty extreme to make sure people will not pick on us again!

    The team for the second Test was announced to us before we went out as a team last night. Quite a few changes have been made with a few guys very disappointed to be left out.  It’s great to have so many Irish in the team and hopefully we will be able to bring the success of the Grand Slam to help get what we all want this weekend. 

    After a good game when he came on last weekend, Rob Kearney is back in.  It’s good to see that Rob looks very fresh and energetic.  This is probably because he is never seen in the team room because he never leaves his room and the website Facebook.  It’s great to see him mingle with a few of the players this week.

    I’m looking forward to leaving Cape Town, it has done nothing but rain since we got here so going back up north is definitely something to look forward to.  It is a wonderful city but one that has to be appreciated when the sun is shining.

    Hi Tommy,

    Well done on selection for the second test. Hopefully the Irish backs familiarity with each other will give the lions that extra edge.

    My suggestion for revenge – lock the entire contents of the culprits room into the en-suite and/or balcony. Leave their boots and passport in the middle of the room!

    Tommy – sleep on the ground win the next match and you’ll be a legend in the dressing room! Then take revenge – i’d say you’d need two big locks from Munster for bed stealing!

    Thats a holy dread Tommy but I find revenge is not the answer to anything and only leads to a glut of similar pranks. Instead, when you find the culprit you should knock 7 kinds of shite out of them. It may have been those Welsh lads looking for somewhere for their sheep to sleep and if not it was probably Drico or one of them Blackrock types and their dormitory antics. You wouldn’t get that down our way.
    See ya ’round the Christmas.

    Well Tommy,

    its crunch time on Saturday! Great to see form selections in the team for the 2nd test and with any nod to professionalism, a game plan and the spirit in the camp an improved performance and result should await.
    I for one will be hoping the Lions play fast and loose after laying down some markers physically in the first quarter. I would love to see a few early hits on Mattfield and Burger by their opposite numbers and to watch Brian Habana get peppered with some high ball and big hits early doors.
    Go n-eiri an t-adh leat…hopefully a resounding victory will lay the platform for a series win. PS: I am putting a bag of sand on you to score the first try on Saturday….go on Boweser!!!

    Well, Tommy, if one of the suspects has the initials ROGJ, you could publicise .

    Congratulations on starting again – not that it was a surprise to anyone. Saw you play at Ricoh this summer. Unfortunately you didn’t get much ball, but on the upside I was sitting behind the right wing so I had a nice view.

    Awesome blog, Tommy – you and the rest of the boys are really making us Osprey fans proud.

    Idea for revenge – anything involving hair removal cream is always good. Just make sure you wash it off in time (something about third degree burns really takes the fun out of pranks!)

Tell those selectors that us back home are not happy with that decision! Also O Callaghan should be at least on the bench! You can do it on saturday! It was within your grasp last week!! Just believe! :)

    Hi Tommy,

    This exact thing happened to me in school except I returned to find my bed perfectly made on the roof……
    In return I stole all there stuff after training but i didn’t feel that was much of a victory in the end!!
    Best come back I know of is to replace hair gel with veet hair removal stuff!! Or just put it on someone sleeping eyebrows……

    Good luck on Saturday.

    Tommy, have a great idea on how to get revenge back on the lads…it involves a roll of sellotape, a bottle of still Ballygowan, bubblewrap, a tomato, a pillowcase and a bottle of shampoo (preferably one for dry/damaged hair)

    and a scissors.

    Best of luck on Saturday!!

    Get a box(es) of cereal and fill everything the own with them. pull back their bed cover cover them then put them back, fill the sink, the shower even the pockets of their clothing, its hugely annoying and take forever to get rid of, make sure u crush the cereal up too.

    Hey Tommy,

    My suggestion to you would be to compile a dossier of misdemeanours of the suspected few (whether true or not) and anonymously deliver it to them, threatening to expose it to the world. Kind of like the expenses scandal of the MPs.

    Excellent blogs – keep them up.

    I remember I got my bed and my door stolen in uni, good times.

    See if you can find a way to unscrew the shower heads in the rooms, then put gravy granules in them. The great thing is the water goes through normally for a while, and then the capsules dissolve slowly – great fun. :)

    If you had the time and the ability you could sew their bedclothes shut, preferably with them inside the sheets.
    If not I’m sure it would annoy them enough not to be able to get into their beds.
    If any of your teammates have been reading your blog then I’d imagine ROGJ and Harry Ellis have a motive!

    Good work Tommy, dont give them an inch on Sat!

    for the Munster heads…ROG was Irelands poorest player of the six nations, and has shown little more on this tour. I thought he was lucky to get his start on the bench. Hook is more likely to start 3rd test if things dont go out way on Sat.

    Sneak into one of the players room when they are asleep you’ll need backup with this – slowly lift the bed and put pint glasses at all four corners of the bed – slowly level the bed back down – and wait for the big crash. The noise never mind the shock alone will make them crap their pants. Good luck for tomorrow i’m having a Lions party to watch you – tell Donncha to give me a wink in his suit xxx

    Find the culprits, wait for the perfect moment. Dip as much of their clothing as possible in the hotel pool or some other water source. Fold neatly and place in the freezer for a few hours and voila. Revenge served cold!

    The Classic Cling film over the toilet is still a good one but try putting Cod Liver oil in their Shampoo bottles for after the match or training then they wont be able to get any proper stuff to wash it off.

    Well done so far Tommy, keep the momentum going. As for pranks, you have to be careful to match like with like. No physical harm was caused to you so don’t do anything to escalate things too far!!!! Sudocream is terrifically difficult to wash off so if the culprits were to somehow use this in place of their hair gel, well all good. Other options could be to acquire the services of a shemale dancer/lady of the night to embarass them in front of you all!

    If you want to exact revenge the eyebrowless look is always good, particularly if it is Donnacha as he has a grand fine pair that need some shaping!

    Was involved in a similar prank orientated situation a while back. Our revenge strategy was 3 pronged- first we unscrewed the shower head and put an OXO cube inside- que Gravy shower, secondly we covered their beds in powdered milk so when they slept in it ( they didn’t realise it was there) they woke up smelling like sour milk- it took about 3 days to wash out. 3rdly we ah, urinated in jam jar lids froxe them and then slid them under the door of their locked rooms to melt.

    Another one was to sneak in to the room in the middle of the night with ski masks and ski goggles and toy guns and wake the guy up with a 3 masked gun men standing over him- u find out very quickly who’s all talk and who needs new sheets- a video camera is always good for this one

    Tommy kid, what u gota do is empty the entire contents of their room, clothes,gear,beds,lamps the lot and either put it all in the lift depending on how big the lift is or else set up their room as it is but put it in the car park. These two worked a treat on my last tour and there was no more shaving foam in my bed,boots,bags,hair gel,socks..you get the idea!!

    First of all find out who did it, then take all of their clothes and change them with the other person, e.g. change wardrobes, bags and squad jerseys. Have them very confused and not having what they like to wear. Or even better replace the clothes with some of your own choice.

    hard luck tommy today ye just fell asleep for the last 20 min althought the injurys didnt help !!!

    guessin it was don o’callaghan heard hes known for bein a prankster best revenge i ever saw was going into the victims room when they are sleeping youll need back up for this one but tom should surfice get about 4 or 5 rolls of ducktape and tape the person to their bed nice and tight then turn the bed on its side and leave them try struggle their way out them watch them thud to the floor when they finally break loose

    you might need there roomate in on this to let u in but itworks well ppl generally stay away from ur room after this

    or u could go with a reliable 1 like building a wall of ducktape on their door frame in the middle of the night so they cant get out

    theyll find it almost impossable to evenopen the door but when they do theyll have to deal with the wall of duck tape !!!!!

    hope this helps and wouuld appretiate a video of youtube if u go for the first option

    !!!!! good luck in the rest of the series tommy

    Tommy, commiserations on the loss. I might not be an Irishman, but I’m a proud Lions fan and despite today’s result just wanted to wish you the very best.

    Your tour has been immense and the Lions as an outfit have been immense. You’ve let nobody down with your performances and I’m pretty well overcome with pride for how you guys played.

    I look forward to seeing you play for the Lions in the future and will be keeping a beady eye on you for club and country.

    Best of luck for the third test and all credit to you for the performances to date.

    I know you must be all hurting like crazy at the moment, but we’re all still 100% behind you and thinking of you. You’ve let nobody down.

    All the best mate,

    Tony

    Hard luck today Tommy, you deserved so much more. You all made us proud, and on another day it could have been so different.
    PS Tell ROJG to keep his head up, everyone has a bad day at the office, but he has given us so many good ones that were all behind him.
    PPS Yourself, Luke and Chilli Con Kearney proved yourselves to be a world class back 3 yet again

    Ronan O’Gara proved once more that he is not only well short of the standard required for international rugby, but also not tough enough or brave enough to take risks to win a match that means a lot to a lot of people. He is a disgrace to Munster and to Ireland and should not be given the opportunity to wear the number 10 jersey for either of these teams again.

    Harden up or give up ROG.

    Tommy,

    Have to say that Saturday was one of the best games of rugby I have seen. The speed, intensity, passion and drama were second to none. It’s in the nature of sport that it’s either ecstacy or agony and I’d imagine you and the team are feeling a lot of the later, however you must be very proud to have been part of a spectacle like sat. Will be tough to get pumped for third game but as mentioned, everyone is still behind you (how anyone could question the concept of the lions after this tour is baffling).

    Also, Spencer M, you’re blatantly not Irish and your contribution is pathetic. ROG did the business in Cardiff and will be back in a green shirt before you know it.

    G’luck,
    C

    Hard Luck Tommy and all the lads, and that comment about Rogs is completely unjustified, I wonder how many Lions Tours that gentleman has been on or how many Grand Slams or Heineken Cups he has won. How easy it is for us to play from the TV screens ”” Ye are great and we are a nation proud of ye all. Please come to Munster. You have our blood in you”’

    Ciaran, ROG’s contibution to this lions tour will only be remembered as a lame attempt to tackle which led to a try and a stupid challange which cost his team the game. My problem with ROG is that it was identified many years ago his defensive and physical limitations and yet years on he has done nothing about it. Take a look at any international, feck it any club no.10 and you will see a very toned and conditioned physique. ROG just looks like a boy among men!

    Tommy hard luck for Saturday i was gutted for you all. However i’ll still be out and cheering for you this Saturday. I know its a pride match but its still important to show you are out to win and have the hunger to impress in a lions shirt. It’ll will be a long four years before you get the chance to wear it again.

    Now as for the ignorant remarks from Mr. Spencer Mitton. How anybody could kick a man when he’s down and so obviously distressed is disgraceful. These remarks help no one but only serve to show us what horrible vile people exist out there.
