Yea the trainin regimes are fierce hard. Up at 6am every morning for a 5mile run (usually barefoot) and then 2 separate sessions working kicks and knees in the mornin and punches/elbows in the afternoon. Did one class over there for an afternoon, was great. Wasnt over for that though so that was all I got. How longs he training there for? Is he at Fairtex?

yea its hard not to when you're in Samui, the pick up driving up and down the street makes you well aware of it!!


Ive 2 years and 10 months and I am GONE!! :pac::pac: Sure itll fly by Canada and Australia for a year each (I hope) and a treck around S.E Asia.

Think he's only doing a week of training. Haven't a clue where though?? He lives in Oz and is just there on a couple of weeks holiday so it's not a month long camp or anything..

I would be hoping to be gone myself within 1 year and 10 months but it just seems to be dragging along so slowly..
I'm going to move to Canada on a long term (5 years) basis. Could go straight back to a good job in Sydney tomorrow but i'd like to see more of the world than just go back to Australia.

Would love to go back to Asia for about 3 months. Going to spend the remainder of my day dreaming of being a long way from here....

Actually, I said in my post (Post #5552 in this thread, link) that I was on a bus last friday and a skobe threw a rock and smashed a window on it. :rolleyes:

But sure go on there and make stuff up, or ignore things I said. It's the true way of the Soccer Forum after all.

My point was that the reason you thought it was fair to label Dundalk a ****hole was because skobes throw stones at your bus.

Ah yea, a lot of people do that. Those camps are tough, mentally gruelling, a week is generally recommended for your first one.

LOL at us, timing when our contracts are up!! I wanna eventually move to Australia but have so many places I wanna go to on the way.

How did you find Sydney? Ive heard Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane are also good (though Ive heard of those 3 there's not as much to do in Brisbane)


Asia is amazing really, the cultural lessons you learn are great.

Most underrated city in Australia= Adelaide.
Really nice place and most people don't bother with it.

Sydney is a great place although plenty of people don't like it. I put this down to most of them never leaving the Eastern Suburbs. Newtown is a class area of the city as is Manly and DeeWhy, most Paddies don't go to these places.

I am considering a stint in asia before i head off to Canada. Didn't see enough of it the last time. Might get to India this time.
Then maybe South America..... I get the feeling i'll never settle in one place..

I don't hate Dublin at all. I like it alot and head up regularly. Fair enough I've never lived there but if I did I might dislike it for the rat-race and general nightmare traffic. Headin up for a few pints now and again keeps it fresh and enjoyable imo.

Do Dundalk people not head "down" to Dublin, no?

South America is on my long long list. My friend is there at the moment and cycled "Death Road" yesterday:

Strangely enough Des, no. Dundalk people for some reason go 'up' to Dublin. Its a geographic anomaly. It's like 'gravity hill' in Lordship.

They often go 'down' to Newry as well. This is probably because of the the big hill leading down to Newry, it feels like you're heading South..

I don't hate Dublin, I usually stick a dig in because Dubs think it's so much better than anywhere else, which it isn't imo. The only real perks of the place are Gigs, Nitelinks and sexy foreign chicks.

Cork is pretty cool though, hated it when I first moved here (Londoner's claustrophobia) but it's really grown on me.

The absolute bare-faced cheek of a Cork person saying this :eek::eek:

If anyone can be accused of thinking this, it's Cork people about Cork.

Jesus.

Anyway, the only reason Dublin people say Dublin is better than everywhere else, is becasue it IS.

Londoner saying it. As for the Cork people saying Cork is better than Dub, it's fairly in line with the Dubliners saying Dub is better than everywhere.

As an impartial person who's lived in both places I can safely say theyre both good and sh*t in their own ways. Just Cork is a little cheaper to go on the lash and it's pretty nice as it's a city but small enough to bump into people you know at any given time in the city. Dublin is probably an easier place to pull (not sure about that one) and Dublin's infrastructure is Ree-f*cking-diculous. Actually pulls the piss.

And as for accents, I can't understand a thick Cork OR Dublin one.

Seriously though it was a shockin day today. Non stop torrential rain from 12pm onwards. Pitch had a river running down the middle of it.

This whole sexy foreign chicks is a myth. The polish wimmins are a bunch of butherfaces, and for me, you can't poke the fire if the mantelpiece aint worth looking at.

Took a half day. Gonna play some poker and order some pizza to ease the pain.

I was working in the City centre so I passed touristy places on my way to work, also I went to touristy pubs due to lack of knowledge of the place.

Mr Alan

I work in the City centre

Have taken tomorrow off in preperation for "The Dark Knight"

ShiverinEskimo

Up and Down I don't find has any relation to North and South - If the English happened to settle south of the Equator Maps might have been drawn the other way up and hence South would be 'Up' and North 'Down' assuming North and South would relate to the same poles on a Map had that had happened.

I suppose the only way going Down or Up to Dublin was if I knew the altitudes of each location. Which I don't. But to be honest I use both Up and Down depending on what comes out of the Brain first.

Aye - Galway ftw. Nice people, nice pubs, still 'Irishy' enough too - unlikely most other Irish cities at this stage.

Mate gave me a text there saying that he was going to TDK for his birthday and whilst I'd love to go see it I asked him if he's booked seats. Won't believe me when I say it's probably sold out for Friday night- We only have one cinema in the city these days ffs.
