*g* Irish Busses are nice, but take a long time to travel from East to West via vise versa..*LOL* What i realy hate, is the irish train stuff. 1 in , 1 out = 2 in a day.. *sigh*

I find the Irish busdrivers funny, once I got off a plane in Shannon and wanted to take the bus to Cork and asked the busdriver whether he was going there, then he answered something that sounded like-

him: "Wusuboughrougha"
me: "what?"
him: "Guralubablabla"
me "um, what??"
him: "are we even speaking te same language?"

And that was pretty much what my conversations with people sounded like for the next few days till I got used to it so yeah, good times..

Yeah I'll be going via dublin I'd reckon, and I'm not sure if Lazy plans to drive or not, but if he doesn't I imagine he'll be doing the same. I'll be getting the train I'd reckon. Bus sounds too painful, especially on the return, very hungover, journey.

And I'm pretty sure the folk coming over from England will be flying into dublin.

Driving sounds like way too much effort!

I'll get the train over from Dublin on the Friday!

@Mountie
*roflchopter* Made my day..
The sightseeing busdrivers @ dublin are very well. Good entertainer and great storyteller

shit, just saw that if I plan on dropping by then I'll have to fly to Dublin as well.. on the plus side, I can bring a lot of Booze in my suitcase instead of clothes and stuff, which means you can drink things that normally no one in Ireland would by since its so fucking expensive!

Be careful they don't screw you for having a bag that's over the weight restriction, because then they'll screw you for it!

Well im hoping to have the missus go away for the weekend so we can have the house to ourselves, Depending if you want to bring sleeping bags then your more than welcome to stay at mine to save a bit of cash. I can accomodate 4 in beds and the rest would have to kip on the couch or floor . Up to you the offers there.

Depending on how many are going, I think we should all book into the same place.
The IBIS is a cheap and cheerful dump of a place, and so I usually stay there.

I don't think there's a bar though!

[dintbo(aka bosco)]

There was a small bar if I remember rightly, but not a residents bar. However I think I remember someone telling me its used to house non nationals now. That could have been a dream though

That rings a bit of a bell actually.
