    I've always wanted to go to Lapland when I was a kid (Santa and all...). The furthest north I've been is Tampere - not very north :D
    Hmmm... I think the furthest north I've been is Belfast - definitely not very north :D

    But yeh, go to Lapland - it's amazing :D
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Well... if we're speaking furthest north any country, the furthest I've been is Trondheim in Norway (snow in August!) which is a bit more than Tampere! Would have loved to go much more and catch the midnight sun - that must be weird....

    I'd love to see that midnight sun and the northern lights too - it must be amazing... I'd imagine it would be slightly colder than in my dream though :o

    I have a friend who lives in Trondheim :) Never been though :o
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    That's why dreams are the best (nice ones, that is!). They suit your desires!

    Ta failte romhat (Thats you're welcome in irish...pronounced "Taw falcha roat"

    Pronounced just like it's written... NOT!! My friend from Ireland is coming to London with her daughter for a few days later on this afternoon. Her daughter's name is Saoirse (good Irish name!). When we (me and some friends) got a text from the dad a few minutes after the birth with the name, we were all 'what the f*** - how do you pronounce that?' (I think the mum who is american had a few problems at the beginning as well!). It's a lovely name...

    hello everyone, what a lovely day today. :D


    Helly, the midnight sun is amazing and kinda weird too. you don't notice it as well here in the south as you do in Lapland but still. it's pretty exciting to think the sun isn't going to set. :)

    Ooohh, I'd like that - it's like you never have to leave the pub... cos it's still bright outside.

    hello everyone, I know i'm probably thinking about this waaay too far in advance (but I can hardly think about anything else i'm so excited) but what time do you think i should queue outside the Point (dublin) before the show. I want to have some chance of getting near the front (preferably into the pit). I was thinking around lunch time (with a bag o cans!) but i've heard of people talking about queuing from 8am.....Please advise ;)

    Well the 10c people will be getting in first. I dunno, I reckon you'd be safe enough until 1 or 2 and then the queue will probably take off.

    I'm 10c so don't know what time we will need to queue from. Plane doesn't land till 10:30 though. I think from what has happened on the US legs the 10c ticket collection window doesn't open untill noon anyway.

    Think Hells has it about right if you're not 10c :)

    EDIT: Forgot to say welcome to the pit and welcome to the Dublin thread :D:D:D
