Hi All,

The thumb looks good. But I'm 42 now and so can't be bothered with hitching.

Thanks folks.

according to a gal in Cork, bus is cheapest. Trains are very expensive.

make a sign that says: 'Pèarla Subh' ... guaranteed to getcha a ride.

It seems it's about 40 euros for the train,haven't foud the bus fares yet.

There have been some great Ryan Air deals to n from UK recently in case anyone needs that help. £9.99 fares till midnight tonight.

If you think that's bad, don't even attempt to navigate the bus site: www.buseireann.ie
Most counter-productive, user-unfriendly site on the entire interweb, bar none.

Swim! Bit chilly mind

IamTom

Obviously leaving school at 16 hasn't worked to my advantage as the best I can see is €38 and not bookable till 28 days in advance.

Not sure about the degree Paul but as puzzling as why Mr Wenger won't buy a decent keeper,centre half etc etc!

dimitrispearljam

i check it again..18 euros

IamTom

Nope,can't get €18,can't find €18 and couldn't buy even if I could cos it's not available till 28 days before max.

Thoroughly stymied!

TTotally off topic I know but I've been saying for over two years that Arsenal won't win a thing till Arsene does some work on his ego and lets go of the need to buy young and nurture and win things that way. He needs to realise that he has upped the bar scouting-wise and now all the big clubs have huge scouting networks meaning he can't do what he used to.

Ok....it's either the computer or more likely me but I cant for the life of me get this thing to work.

Any ideas that don't involve being overly pc savvy?

Save yourself the hassle. Get the bus. On the hour, every hour 24 hours a day. Just show up at the bus station and pay on the bus.

ok the train takes 2 hr 25 mins from dublin city to belfast...or 2 hrs from a place called dublin connolly?

a couple of Q's....how would I get to this connolly place if Im staying near the venue at the jurys inn - is it gonna be a ball ache and would you advise if going by train to make our way to the city centre station? I ask because my little family are coming along and i wanted to make it as easy as possible....19 month olds dont always function how we would like them to

or if we go by bus, how long does this take....naturally I'm looking for the shortest way possibkle....

and why is that website so hideously useless??? it also tells me no reservations....D if you can make that thing work kudos to you
