    Lets put it this way - my mam and gran thought he was lovely!


    I dumped him to go out with a stinking grunger who they both hated - they even grounded me for life for dating him!!!!

    i mean in that he would have to keep it on

    That does put a bit of a damper on things, doesn't it? Oh well, we can overcome that!

    Thats the pains of living with two generations - get wrong off one, get wrong off both!!!! My mam and dad divorced when I was a bairn and we moved in with gran!

    I'm a big girl now so I don't get grounded any more (although I'm still scared of my gran!!!!)

    Dunky, the point I’m trying to make is that you may be interested in the pub culture in Ireland but it’s not all about you all the time ya know ;) . Some people actually ARE interested in the sporting culture in Ireland and other stuff and this thread IS about coming to Dublin and the whole travel aspect and all that… it’s not however about Scottish ‘sports’ or that HISSY ‘football’, where they all fall over if someone tips them – like cows they are.

    Newagehippie, I’ll certainly try and get some tickets for the first Sunday – let’s hope it IS Kerry V Tyrone cos, while they may be there every year and the fans may not be willing to travel as much, it will be THE game of football. Although everyone wants to go to that. It it’s Dublin playing, we’re fucked… although it will make for a great atmosphere in the city. If not, camping is INDEED another option :) as long as we can bring a tv to watch the game though :o
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Hell - I hope! His reason for always being a shithead was according to his best mate because he knew he'd end up marrying me and it scared him! Well I'm getting married next year - and ut ain't to him!!!!

    I think we're all still scared of our gran's, mine's a foot smaller than me and I'm still scared of her!

    is so always about me :p

    in all seriousness i would think that 90% of the people coming from the uk to see this gig are going to be doing exactly the same as each other

    flight
    hotel
    touristy thing
    pub
    gig
    pub
    ,etc

    i dont think that many are actually interested in hearing about hurling leagues or cups or whatever it was! they might appear interested and will nod politely and maybe even ask a question about it... i will show my enthusiasm though by yawning about it and ignoring the general hurling chit-chat :)

    i bet you'd do the same if, on the day of the Astoria gig, England were playing some big cricket match against Australia and people were trying to tell you its a cultural sport in england and this is the biggest game since giants invented Twister, etc etc... you'd be as bored as hell!!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
