    That's old news LeoB. Even made the Fingal Independent. Didn't pick up my gold medal until last Sunday though:D

    Can someone tell me why it's:

    instead of just:

    region->east->dublin county north

    ?

    I often think about this type of thing when I log on here. You don't hear people saying 'I'm from DCN, me'. What happened to good old NCD? Bloomin' oppressed by DCN.

    Splitters! :mad: :pac:

    This was the structure that was decided on when the East forum was expanded back in the day. It allows for expansion of the sub-fora if required, while maintaining the mid-level folder conventions.

    Also, the fora don't necessarily correspond to defined 'political' regions - more just general locations. Eg, the 'political' region of Fingal is split across a number of fora - DCN, D15, DCW & probably part of Dublin City.

    Thanks, tHB. I wasn't really looking for a serious explanation as it was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, though do let us know if you ever run for office. :p

    I saw that earlier this week and nearly puked.

    They were the same last year.

    Whilst they have great offers, for core shopping they are not great on price for a lot of stuff I've found after price comparing.

    You think the Easter Bunny would know better and hibernate, although maybe he feels he has to measure up to Rudolph and co.

    JC prided himself on having the first Easter eggs in before Christmas, and it looks as though the family are keeping up the tradition. :)

    I couldn't quite post this in the Fave DCN pic, but I thought I'd pop it here instead. These are the trees outside my house in Switz this morning... :)

    Safe travels.

    Does anyone here do the Christmas Day (?) swim? I've not been in the sea in ages.

    You gonna try it this year? My friend does it every year, up at Gormanstown beach (I think). Nut jobs. :pac:

    If I do, I'll be one of the ones turning orange/blue due to the cold, :rolleyes: though it doesn't seem too cold this year.

    The timing of tHB's return is suspicious. He could in fact be the DCN Santa. If so, shall we leave anything out for yourself and Rudolph, tHB?

    Have heard this weekend how cold it is in Zürich, you better wrap up warm.

    They reckon if the cold snap continues, some of the smaller lakes will freeze over by the end of the week.

    Have you packed your ice skates? :D

    What's the coldest you've been over there? Think we've really escaped compared to most of Europe.

    Previously the lowest temp I was in here was -16C & sunny with no wind. Tonight was -17C & a bit breezy (20kph). It made a big difference. Still - everything works & it really is just a minor inconvenience. Tomorrow we are due to have -23C.

    Edit: -18C right now & time to head off to work. Brrrr!

    Last year when we came to a standstill with -14 I actually didnt find it that cold, and I am outdoors every day, it was more crisp whereas some mornings over the last 2 weeks there has been a chilling wind which I felt was colder yet it was only -1 or -2.

    Safe sledging HB

    It was -15C a while ago when I was on my way home & it wasn't that uncomfortable, but the wind was non-existent.

    Thanks Leo. Have a trip planned in a couple of weeks. Fondue & schnapps session booked afterwards. :)

    One less layer needed, perhaps.. :D

    Fired up 2 of my disposables from the shed which I had set aside for the big freeze yesterday. ;) It really heralds a change in the seasons to smell lots of them in the neighbourhood though. That and a glut of icecream vans....
