Bavaria is the best cheap beer around

Ah canned beer is never really good anyway.

For special occasions I'll get bottled Heineken, but other than that it's cheap booze all the way.

Sometimes if I really don't want to drink Bavaria or Dutch(Bavaria is VASTLY superios) I'll just get drunk off spirits.

It's all about variety.....

Yeah! I have no idea how all my fellow LC-ers can afford a holiday with college in september. I'll be working all summer and that's not even going to half cover the year. It'll probably last me all of a month.:(

Likewise. I ain't leaving Ireland at all, well, apart from going to the north the odd time maybe.

Also, would you believe that Dutch Gold isn't actually avalible in Holland Clever branding gives it a continental feel that um....appeals to the skobies.

Stock up on your Heino etc in Tescos during the bank holiday weekends, serious offers. I think Supervalu are still doing the case of millers for €16.50 but I could be wrong.

Anyway thats all off topic, um holidays yeah..... trekking the amazon for me.

Nehpets

It was tesco doing that miller offer but they're probably all sold out now. 20 for 22 euro in supervalu. I think dunnes has some offers on right now

If any of ye go to Germany, buy lots and lots of delicious German Beer, its only 93 cent for half a litre in Cologne, and also in Cologne and other big cities in German there are places where you can recycle the Beer bottles and the best bit is that you get 9 cent back meaning that just under a Pint is not even 85 cent.

And its way nicer than anything you'll ever find in this country, I promise you that. My personal favourite if anyone goes near Cologne or Bonn is Reissdorf. Or Gaffel Koelsch.

cson

A music festival somewhere in Europe? I went to Rock Werchter(Belgium) after my LC last year. It was great fun and there were loads of Irish people there. Friends of mine went to Sziget(Hungry), which lasts for a whole 7 days, and there are plenty more festivals to choose from also. You could also go interrailing and incorporate a festival into that.

rgt320q

Wacken festival in Germany 31st July - 2nd August! \m/

SRFC90

Zakynthos....one of the Greek islands!!!!:D

carrig2007

Practically all of my year is going to oxygen which is a couple of weeks after the leaving. Not exactly glamorous i know but it should be serious craic like!!!

eoghan h

We're booking tomorrow...

Not sure to go to Santa Ponsa or Kusadasi (turkey)

Theres 6 of us..all guys

Anyone have any advice???

Crania

I'm heading to San Francisco a few days after I finish the Leaving, which is the 18th of June. Haven't booked the tickets yet though. My brother lives over there so I'm gonna work with him for the summer. I have to be back for the 23rd of August though as my sister is getting married then. Should have a good 7/8 weeks over there though still. Comtemplating whether I should come back for the LC Results, doubt I will but I'd like to be back for the Offers Day so as to organise college accomadation(being a bit presumptious there maybe!) and stuff like that.

Can't wait though, nice incentive to get me through the LC!

Cant anyone actually be original???? why does everyone ships off to sanata ponza or the canarys, crete or salou? alicante etc Not even good holidays, if i want go boozing ill boot up to a local pub, instead of wasting my money in a tourist spot.

If i was going abroad id head to france or italy somewhere different, and actually enjoy myself. Feck "Balymun in the sun"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how many people can actually say theve takin advantage of all the sights to be seen in Ireland????when you think about it were living in a feckin beautiful county (in the summer)!!!!!!whos actually visited the aran islands the burren the giants causeway etc etc?????

Thanks for reading my rant!

I don't believe in leaving cert holidays as such, think they're a load of balls. So all going according to plan i'm going to Hellfest in France the day after my music exam with a few friends from outside school.
I don't really like the idea of the amount of fights that would go down over the space of a week in some resort somewhere.

crazygirl101

cant be bothered with the whole crete, ayia napa thing.. going on a tour of america with my best friend (boston, florida , nyc an L.A) - her older bro lives there so we'll be seeing him 2! shud be fun:D

Brethitmanhart
