    Well for about £70 all in I got my flight to Dublin and from Belfast to London. Same as you Rita I need Heathrow and that puts the price and taxes up.

    For those flying into London of the London airports if the prices are similar for flights go for Heathrow as you can get straight onto the tube without having to pay the expensive trains from the airports to London.

    what airline you flying with Pippa ?
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    OK, i'm booked Heathrow-Dublin and back Belfast-Heathrow, both with Air Fungus.

    Now, where's people staying in Dublin and Belfast...? did someone mention the Jurys Inn in Dublin...?

    I'll hopefully be booking the Jurys Inn (that's by the O2, isn't it?) tomorrow.

    Jurys' Inn on Customs House Quay is the one beside the O2 :) There are others in Dublin, but none quite as convenient.

    if you book a room in jurys inn make sure when you check in you ask for a room at the back of the hotel - you dont want to be on the lower floors at the front next to 50% of irelands lorrys clunking past the window :D

    I'll go for convenient. We'd be arriving late-ish in the afternoon and have to leave mid day or so.

    Good advice Belfast.... How's are you guys settling in with the little one?

    Nah, I haven't had time to look yet. Will be driving back to Dublin the night of the Belfast gig so will be flying out from there on the day of the London show, probably at stupid o'clock!

    YEY!

    Ticketmaster and MCD just sent me emails about Pearl Jam's new European Tour.

    I'm so glad I signed up for their newsletters, I hadn't realised they were touring again :roll:

    what about the Jurys Inn on Parnell Street, says it's 1.1km from the venue and in the city centre... anyone know what it's like around there ?

    The area is a little dodge, but it's very central.

    There a few other hotel options across the river from the O2 - there's the Holiday Inn, Quality Inn...

    the Jury's on the quay is much closer and it's a better area.

    Jury's custom house is definitely the most convenient to the venue... the closest to it... but if you're going to the pub before and after the gig... you'll have to go into town and make your way out both times. I suggest staying somewhere central if you're planning on doing pub. Not that it's a massive deal cos it's still just down the road anywho... but still!
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars

    I don't think we will get much 'pubbing' in. Should we get tickets, we'll be getting a flight sort of mid-afternoon (I work until 1.00pm). The time to get to get out of the airport, get into town, etc., we're not going to have much time left. And Rob is coming too and, at the moment, he still tires quickly and is not very comfortable in a 'group' environment. May be different by June. We'll see....

    at that time of the day, should be no longer than 30-40 minutes on the bus. Don't bother with a taxi... 20euro more than the bus and only about 10 minutes quicker.

    Yep, my birthday's not til June and he's thinking pressies already :)

    I think I'll have to go with a hostel as I'll be there for 2 nights. Can't pay the €250 it would cost for 2 nights in the Customs House :oops:
