Dublin trip photo
Wasted
Well apart from Mr Richard the Philips who narrowly missed having to stay behind for another day due to Stella Artois being consumed in the early morning, and the RyanAir staff not being too pleased about the results!

A fun time was had by all. Lots of Guiness, lager and a dodgy looking lemonade. We didn't really venture far. Well as far as next door, then up the stairs and down the stairs, and back to bed. Gogarty's has it all. We should have just pushed the bloody bunk beds through.

Dublin was hot, damn hot.

Guiness, the black stuff
I missed out on the Guiness factory tour but was there for the Jameson's whiskey tour.

I did have a bowl of Won Ton noodles at Charlies, a Chinese fast food place across the road at the start of Temple Bar, at 3am when some guy came up to me and asked what it was called. I said it was called "stuff" and he should go up to the counter and ask for some stuff. He wasn't too amused. Neither was I as the food wasn't that good.

Ooh, hello boys
Dublin watch out, it's Matt Hammond's stag do this weekend and a bunch of crazy Bournemouth mofoes will be heading your way. Crazy drinking till about 9.30pm and then sloping off for a burger and sleep...! We are getting old, too old for all this actually.

OK, it might not exactly happen like that but it should be good craic/crack/krak.

We're staying at Gogarty's Bar, Dublin. We've been there for drinks before and to check out the live band who seem to be made up of some core musicians and then some random hangers-on that turn up randomly out of the crowd. Guy H has the CD is you want to listen. I wonder if we will actually get out of that building seeing as it has our accomodation, there is a bar and it does food.

Ryanair seem to have gone all funny with the baggage allowance and costs. Then again, we should really too much for the two night we are there. One reverseable pair of underpant and a toothbrush should do!

We all know Rich P goes commando.

sail the dream
Miles and Karen have taken leave of their senses, sold a load of booty off, bought a yatch and intend to sail around the Med for a year.

You can catch up with their shenannigans on the Sail The Dream web site.

I think I have gone off sausages since their farewell BBQ that had 50+, never mind that lovely berry Vodka making a mess of everyone's tongue, Meg's Princess Leia impersonation and bun-dance, Deb's sleepy couch episode and the rain.

Best of luck and hopefully we can meet up at some sunny spot somewhere.

ImageWow, has it been hot or what. Managed to miss a lot of it with a hangover and DIY this weekend but caught enough to be thankful.

Not been in the sea just yet. Was wanting to dive in last night but by the time we got back home, packed and set foot on the beach, it started clouding over. Maybe better luck over the next couple of days.

It's Matt's stag do in Dublin next weekend, so let's hope the weather keeps up and makes its way across there.
