    Edit, I don't want to know, the Dam would be too tempting for a single chap trying to be good.


    Lots of flights are dirt cheap atm. Budapest is working out at about 50 each way. (Including taxes)

    Remember towards the end of the year there was an announcement of about 100-150 jobs for Cork, possibly out in Mahon; anyone any idea the company?

    It would have been an IT company anyway. I check the papers at the time but no mention.

    I'd say it was Siemens. I think they may still be hiring, not too sure though.

    The flights are so cheap as Air Lingus are doing a sale for their birthday IIRC

    Wow in Cork??? They never come to Cork! Celebs always seem to end up in Dublin if they're in Ireland at all!

    The doctor is no doubt a lot dryer than you'll be walking home in that. Wouldn't fancy a half hour brisk walk in that, try and rob an umbrella from someone's desk ;)

    I'm under my roll out awning, but it's still miserable. Thank feck there's a TV and Kettle in the car while I literally watch the paint dry. My exciting life :pac:

    Cheers for the kind wishes guys :)

    This weekend I'm going to try and get a start on restoring my 84 Mini if the weather gives me any break, need to strip everything from it and start examining where the rust starts/stops ... going to be great fun wondering if it was a wise purchase or not :D

    He's a spy!

    @RJ: No point in me taking an umbrella thanks to the wind, it'll be blown clear out of my hands. They always break when I try to use them (please don't say I'm doing it wrong!) so I've given up! I'll just jump into the warm shower when I get home and have a cuppa. :)

    @Dr: Sounds like a cool hobby to keep you going! Wise investment indeed!

    Ooh that does look good! Love films like that! Haven't been to the cinema in too long. :( Yeah the Roller Derby thing sounds awesome! Something different anyway. I have to figure out a way to keep fit like, and I'm not one to go for a jog anymore or to join a gym. This seems cool and I used to skate so I'll see how it goes!
