Thread: Off to Ireland...

I just got back from a work trip to Ireland. I can't be of much help, though, cause I stayed in Cork, which is on the south (while Templepatrick is on the north, just out of Belfast). It might be a little rainy when you're there. How long are you staying for, and how much time do you have for sightseeing? If they like you at the work thing, they'll take you out and get you wasted haha.

Heh. Always travelling, aren't you? *coughcoughluckysonofa-cough*

Have a good/safe trip, man!!

Whatever you do, remember to tease them about the Rugby

Sorry, I don't have any Ireland advice except - take lots of pics for us!

Safe travels, Adam

Unfortunately I am only there tonight, I fly back tomorrow

I have a meeting in the morning so have to come back, I would have liked to be out here longer. I will try get pictures, but really am only going to be out tonight for dinner and drinks so wont get to see many sights.

I will get a picture of me and a Guinness for you though

I am just at the airport waiting for my flight, which is in about an hour and a half.

I don't like flying

Hey, who wants a postcard?

You don`t like flying? Eee gads man,... Come see me if you ever visit the area, I`ll give you a bumpy flight in a small tin can, that ought to get the fear of big, smooth, comfy cigar tubes right out of ya ...

IRELAND???!!!?!?!?!?! Omgggggg.

*cough* Sorry. Must pull myself together. Bring back a jar of soil or something!!

*raises hand and jumps up and down* Me! Me!

Is it true they have leprachauns over there? I heard they appear after drinking a few pints...

Not that I've been there, but Ireland seems to me a boring and grim place. I only ever see pictures of desolate landscapes full of mud, grass and rain and too few trees. I met a nice Irish girl once, never got her name and never saw her again, but she agreed with me that Ireland is all mud and alcoholics.

And the accent is horrible. Almost as bad as Welsh. Actually, nowhere near, but, eh.

You can bring me back a leprechaun and his pot o' gold.

On second thought.. screw the leprechaun.. just bring me the pot o' gold!

I like the Irish accent actually

I just landed and OMG my room is AWESOME! I will take pictures later, but just off to the bar for a Guinness

Burns, I need an address for a postcard

I am so jealous right now. I've been to Ireland for four days before (plus four days in Scotland as a 21st Birthday present). I just love the history and "old-world" charm you can find there (mostly from the historic buildings and cathedrals and stuff). How I wish I lived in the Emerald Isles instead of bloody sun scorched SA with its "Africa" obssesed president (not Mandela mind you, he was cool and I wish he could have stayed on longer)

In a few weeks I will be there too, for two months ( and before that 3 days in England ). There I will make
the first step upon a journey, of which I will give more details soon.

Okay I have some pictures, but they are on my phone, and I am in the airport waiting to come home at the moment

I have the all omportant one of me and a Guinness so will post when I get home tonight

Too bad it was such a quick trip...

By the way, was this in Ireland or Northern Ireland (I heard you were near Belfast...)?

Northern Ireland - I was in Templepatrick at the Hotel and in Belfast city centre for my meeting. I am home now though

I am going to make sure I get a weekend trip there as soon as I find someone to go with! I want to enjoy Ireland rather than a whistle stop tour! might go to southern Ireland though.

Just need to find someone to take... Spart what you up to this weekend

Some pictures

My Phone camera is crap when indoors, well this is my room, although you cannot see it too well in this light







This is where the magic didn't happen





My Bathroom lol



The customary look @ me in the mirror picture, to prove I was actually there



Mmmmmmm Guinness



Mmmmm Adam drinks the Guinness hehe Although I spilt it on my lap trying to take this



Some light reading on the plane...



Some out the window shots, sorry captain, I know my phone was supposed to me off, but hey, we didn't crash






Really want to go back so I can visit the place properly, although not sure if I want to go northern or southern Ireland this time??

Need to find me a partner to drag along first though

I'LL GO WITH YOU!! Southern Ireland, of course, man!! Gotta go to Dublin for old time's sake and then off to Galway or Donegal or one of those places with all the SHEEP!

Man??

Sheep??

Urm, okay..

Ahhh man I wanna go to Ireland so much! My dad said we'd go during Christmas break, but that was just an empty promise :'(

Great pics, Adam! The cloud ones are awesome! And glad you enjoyed the Guinness

I'll go with you Adam, I'm sure I can think of more interesting stuff to do than sheep ...
