    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 ?
    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?

    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.

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

    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?
    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
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life

    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....

    well then it's definitely the best place to stay... holy shite, you'll be pushing it tight!

    My brother texted me today to say he noticed they were playing Dublin and asked if I want a ticket for my birthday... so he's gonna try tomorrow :D he's great... hope it works though... fingers crossed.

    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:

    Fingers crossed for your brother tomorrow Helen :mrgreen:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Right... just heard back from David in China... he arrives back on 23rd June so is up for HRC :D

    So I'll definitely need that spare Rita with the possibility of one more, to be confirmed...

    God this is complicated, not sure how I'm going to wangle Dublin and Belfast... :?

    :D thanks... I'm not quite sure he understands how tough it's gonna be though :D

    why don't a lot of you get together and book one of the larger rooms (sleep maybe 14) in one of the better hostels and should cost about 15-20euro each a night?

    Hi Dave :)

    How is Emma? Hope all going well.

    Hey Pip,

    She had the op yesterday after being messed around on Monday / Tuesday, packed her off to bed about half an hour ago she's not very good at getting her rest in... :roll:

    Some internal stitches but should be right as rain in 4-5 days... :)

    I just got a double for 69 Euros (one night). Was just googling to find good prices and came across this one. I don't have tix or flights, but I have a hotel room! Hopefully I will use it!
