Cheers Norrahe. I take your point, but this trip is scheduled for mid-January.Originally posted by norrahe View Post
would definitely agree with OG on this, There ain't much to see in Dublin and this time if year is tourist and stag do hell. If you do the west coast you have access to some great countryside, fantastic sea food and some good spa hotels that missus sb would enjoy.
If she likes Ireland as much as I hope, then I will try and coax her over west on subsequent visits.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

I hope she finds a bloke who'll treat her properly.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostMrs SB will be celebrating her 50th birthday in January. I had initially planned on pushing the boat out (
) and treating her to a stay at a fairly local hostelry with a spiffing collection of Malt Whiskies.
Surprisingly, she poo-pooed this suggestion and offered the Orient Express to Venice as an alternative.
After much discussion, we have settled on a compromise. Dublin!!!
Now I am fairly familiar with Dublin as I spent many holidays there as a child, and also worked there on a 6-month contract in 1998.
I have decided that Kilmainham Jail is a must-see, as is the Guinness Store. But both of those are fairly near each other and can be done in an afternoon I reckon.
I also fancy doing the Literary Pub Crawl as it sounds like a blast, however outside of those I am open to suggestions from those who may be more au fait with the City.
We will be arriving on Friday lunchtime and leaving Monday morning, so probably have 2-2.5 days to fit in.
Suggestions welcome!!
She's going to be celebrating her 50th birthday compromising with a skinflint rather than doing something she wants to do.

You would need to think about where you would be going on the orient express. At that time of year places like Prague and Budapest will be exceedingly cold. I've been to Venice in December and that isn't very warm either.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

It smells better though.Originally posted by doodab View PostScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
