Aren't three and emobile doing unlimited plans for about €40/month....

Rayne Wooney

I have the new iPhone and I can't fault it really, on meteor and I get 3 GB internet and free any network texts for €20 a month.

It does everything I need with apps and also has my whole iTunes library on it. Even though there isn't much I'd change about the phone, iOS7 looks brilliant.

If you have a decent data plan I couldn't recommend Spotify enough. For a tenner a month you've got access to an unbelievable catalogue of music to stream. It's got almost everything on there, across every genre.

I'm with 3 as PAYG, and for a single 20e top-up I get unlimited texts to any network, unlimited data, free any network calls on weekends and free 3-to-3 calls anytime.

Billpay is for the weak!

Whats the fair usage on the data? 15GB?

MagicIRL

No idea. Yer man told me it was unlimited. I said how unlimited is unlimited and he said unlimited unlimited. I have it on 24/7 and have yet to be given any notice about going over my "fair limit"

Copper_pipe

Ya the fair usage is 15GB

F**king loving this weather. For all the pissing and moaning about this country and the climate that we all do, there's not many places I would swap for on days like these. 23 degrees at 11:30 am :eek:

With the help of Nuri Sahin, I have discovered vanilla ice cream sprinkled with azera coffee is one of the greatest combinations ever!

I don't mind it when abroad as you're expecting the heat. Today is alright, bit of a breeze at least even if it's horribly humid.

Azera is the coffee of the fine established, gentleman sir. When the shops occasionally sell Azera for €2 is time to strike and commence Operation Azera Raid. I can only drink that and Carte Noire. The rest takes like crap.

Almost every good thing has a downside. It's life's way of keeping annoying, permanently over happy people to a minimum

Eg: Great night out? Here, have a hangover.

I've never ever drunk a cup of tea or coffee.

I've tasted both and decided I dont like hot drinks, same goes for hot chocolate.

Drinks are meant to be cool and refreshing not hot.

I used to be the exact same until about a year ago. I used to only drink to cool myself down.

Now I can't stop drinking coffee. Six months working in New York killed me in that regard :P

Freaks :P

I can't live without tea and coffee, hot or cold (ice). Known to regularly go through a few cups a day of tea at least, except during the summer really.

I'll be heading out to NY (again) on Friday for a couple of weeks. Hopeful of finding some permanent work out there.

Best of luck with it mate. Enjoy the few weeks over if nothing else!

Wish I was joining you. Would love to go back again for a short while.

Second all of that...probably my favourite City in the world. But kids and weeks walking round Manhattan don't exactly mix. My trips over there for the forseeable future will consist of Orlando...not that I am complaining as it's another of my favourite places (although I will miss the Impact Zone).

Enjoy Nuri.

I would love to be there now. Big Rollacoaster fan and into all these rides. The more scary the more I live them.

Likewise...was over there last summer, and while I am not a fan of Harry Potter I can't describe it as anything other than amazing. Transformers opened a few weeks ago and looks really good too...although nothing tops Spider-man
IMO...although I may be a little biased.


Haven't had a chance to visit anywhere else in Florida though bar trips to Tampa for Buscch Gardens. One of my goals is to do a road trip across the country based on triple D or Man vs Food episodes.

Stayed in Tampa for couple of days. Loved Busch Gardens.

If you can afford it then I would do it. Won't regret it. I hope to go again someday. Man Versus food one would sound class. Although might not
make it home alive ha.

The ridiculous lines for theme/amusement parks in Florida from what I've heard would drive me insane.

Only been to a few myself, mostly in and around New York like Six Flags which is brilliant
and highly recommend if around that area. Many excellent rollercoasters.

Lost count how many times I've been to Gardaland near Lake Garda in North Italy over the past decade , always enjoy it. Was in DisneyLand, but was only 5 and remember very little.

Errr... then there is Bundoran, Funderland, Tramore and such :pac:

The lines are only really bad in the summer months and even then I don't mind standing there. September/October is a great time to go. Kids back in school and the weather still brilliant. Very little standing in line.

Favourite Orlando coasters are The Hulk in Universal, Manta and Kraken in Seaworld.

Cafe Tu Tu Tangos on I drive is a great place to go for food. Definitely a different experience.

RasTa

Is Kraken the one with the reverse loop? No that had something to do with Manta ray's and you are in the flying position, That's the best rollercoaster I've ever being on. Busch Gardens is the best overall park, loved the Cheetha and Sheikra

The start of the ride as you go up on Sheikra is dam scary as its so high up and so steep. Feels like you are going to topple over.

Whilst I disagree on it being good that it's this warm (bring back the snow), this is excellent insight.

'Drinks' that include boiling water as a major constituent should be banned with life imprisonment.

I know that exact feel brah!

MagicIRL

I was in Universal/Disney last summer, and the line weren't a problem at all. Most, if not all rides, have an incredibly accurate clock before you even step into the queue that will tell you it's x mins from this point. Plus, it's ideal being in a queue during the peak sun hours as they're all air conditioned
