Best thing may be at Blackpool to head up the North ring, then through the tunnel and out to West Cork. Not the quickest way but you avoid the city and it's a main road.

yes, thats what i "eventually" did.......but as i said the signage was poor and at those large roundabouts you don't which lane to be in until the very last second:(

all i can say is...god help the tourists

was trying to get from limerick city via cork to bandon...

Local knowledge is the thing - we wouldn't want to make it too easy :rolleyes:. From the Dublin road the tunnel is your best bet, but from the Mallow road there's a short-cut down past a graveyard that brings you down towards the Anglers Rest and from there it's easy to get on the Ballincollig bypass for a quick 120k blast to the Bandon road roundabout. It'd be handy if I knew the name of the graveyard to key into a sat-nav

ha I know so everyone says. Well when I was abroad in Germany etc, I seemed to like city life. I was thinking I might live outside coastal town though and get Dart in to work.

I must find a job first though but there are 3000 so hopefully something haha.

Dublin isn't too bad, lived there for over 2 years a good while ago. Is that 3000 a count of monster or similar for vacancies in your line of work ? If so grain of salt etc is required, same job is probably listed 40 or 50 times.

Ah yeah I'm taking them with grain of salt. Intel always there anyways and they were offering me job not too long ago as I'm a past employ there. But I'd rather go with a smaller company though, see more.

Thanks for all the comments people haha. But I'm more than likely going alright once I get an interview and sort one out. Fingers crossed.

Well, in my opinion there is no special good 80ś club. Just must keep eyes open for events in usual clubs/pubs.
Would like to go to 80ś party... havent heard of any lately... if anyone hears one, i wanna know too!!!
