Champions de-throned as The Queen celebrates 70 on hers..
Good morning folks, it's Micheal with you here. I think it has been a successful few days for Armagh I given the fact a lot of our website content has been brought to courtesy of a 15-year-old iMac (it doesn't sound healthy). I'm currently in the very long process of having my backpack - containing laptop and some socks couriered back to me by pigeon (or at least it feels that way). I am the idiot who left it behind while away so I'm blaming nobody but myself. Thankfully Armagh I is no longer a one-man band or this would have been a right mess; cheers to the crew for helping out with the less primitive elements of the content. We've had plenty going on over the long weekend...
