Hi old boy
Funnily enough I was thinking of your MG last Thursday or Friday, was driving past where I it used to be parked up. Brought a nice touch of class to the area :pac: You've not got rid of it so obviously ? Cork is cool but not as cool as Leinster (weatherwise ). May well be wandering off somewhere myself in a few months, f knows where though.

haha! - yeah still got it man. Feel awful paying insurance tax though when it parked up but I know i'd regret not having a car/tax/insurance if i got rid of it!

Dublin is very snowy alright! Can barely walk the streets here!

are you at least enjoying the snow? parked up is the best place for it with councils and community groups spreading salt everywhere

Ha ha girls in Santa suits!? Good night so? I'd two parties on Friday and Saturday but decided not to chance it with the roads! Stayed in and watched X factor. :D

Roads didn't seem too bad today where I am now. Finally moved from the North Mall! Delighted!!! Saw some kids on go-karts in their PJs at 6am over the weekend though. :rolleyes:

Happy monday!!

Monday's not too bad for me this week, lots done already
Good to hear you moved from The North Mall, wasn't ideal I imagine.

NoDice

It had its good and bad points like everywhere but coming into the winter the bad points far outweighed the good.

I've spent the last couple of months getting loads of work done actually, it's mad what work you can do when you're not on boards!

All work and no boards makes Nic a .................... :P

Thread died!! Oops!!

On anotehr note, the nieces are over from England for the next couple of weeks. Was thinking of taking them to the Teddy Factory in Mahon Point and then to the Santa there. Has anyone on here heard anything about him? Need a really good'un!

catthinkin

Might not be convenient for you but I saw a very good looking (from the outside anyway) Santa/Winter Wonderland rig set up outside the Beamish and Crawford last weekend. I presume that it is still there.

NoDice

Thanks Catthinkin, yeah the teddy factory looks great! We were going to buy one ourselves for the nieces but we're thinking they'll enjoy picking everything for the teddy themselves. 8ft Santa????? :eek:

Cool cheers lemag, is that the one in Bishop Lucy Park or is there one actually in the old brewery now? I could definitely go into town if it's better!

Freezing this morning!!

It was located inside the gate of the brewery. Whether it's got anything to do with the goings on in Bishop Lucy I can't say. Doubt it though as surely the throwing of kids across the road would violate some sort of health and safety law thingy.

It sure is.

Fair enough, I guess it's just me with nothing to do.

Great news on the lack of ice! Have to pop into town for more Christmas shopping and hopefully a pint or four!

Be careful out there guys and gals. Just fell over on the ice and almost mashed my brains on the pavement!!!

Thank god for my thick woolly jumper and hat which cushioned the fall - as otherwise hospital food would have been on tonights menu :eek:

FTGFOP

Jesus! Sorry to hear you fell, glad your brains are still fully contained! Was it boots you had on? I don't have any shoes with any real grip, I'm just very careful and lucky so far.

I was wearing decent working boots but I did not stand a chance. It was dark, the pavement was like a mirror AND on a 30 degree slope. I just felt my neck crack when I hit the deck and wondered if I was in deep trouble - but fortunately a sore head was the only result.

As for my brains - well maybe they were always wired in an unusual manner he he:D

FTGFOP

Did you black out?

I'm so getting crampons next year...

Just worried about getting into clubs with them.
