I never understood bringing 5 year olds to amusement parks. No way in hell they'll remember it.

Can I just bring it to peoples attention that the Thunderdome is under threat of closure atm if anyone is interested in it there is a thread in the thunderdome forum and in feedback, lurkers (like myself) stating their support may help save it. Sorry about bringing another forum in but it's important to me.

I've a stag tomorrow in Galway.

Cant wait now, piss up, banter and good weather, roll on 4:30.

Enjoy it. Galway is amazing in this weather!

I was up 2 years ago for a weekend just before the races and the weather was good, not this good and it was brilliant, cant wait for more of the same.

Dreading the return bus journey though.

Ha, while a great option its not really viable, I think the rough numbers is about 30-35 going.

I see Setanta bumped up their price to €19.99 a month. Bit harsh on the people who have stuck with them over the years. It was never worth €16.99 a month in the first place but if they kept it at that now it would be a lot more palatable with the extra games this season.

Had fairly similar numbers a few years ago going from Heuston to Loughrea. Great craic over and back.

Its great craic going up but coming back you'd be in the horrors, think some of the lads want a curer on the way back somewhere, but I suppose, as you said, bag of cans, be grand. :pac:

Had them on the phone trying to get me to renew my sub after I had cancelled. Just not worth it when i already pay 75 quid for sky and the sports channels.

Just got a letter today to tell me the monthly payments will be increased. Debating whether to keep it or not.
I'm paying over €100 a month as it is when it's lumped in with Sky. That's far too much.

Sky Movies is a ridiculous waste of money

Sky Movies is such a waste, €336 a year, get yourself a decent media box for €100 and just put the movies on it. I saw the light and now I see all of the Sky Premier movies before they even air them.

Pretty sure it's not that much. Think it's €12-15 euro a month.
But yeah, it ain't even worth that anyway. I very rarely watch them. Her and her cheesy romcoms :rolleyes:

Sky website says €28 a month? I'm nearly sure that's what it was when I was paying for it as well. Unless you're on some deal?

If you have sports it's another tenner a money for movies or something. Still not worth it.

Where did you go drinking? Saturday was a scorcher. We spent the day in Connemara on a beach.

Got to our hotel about 4/5 and had about 2 hours drinking there between getting ready and grub, after that its all a little lazey.

In no particular order, Fibber Mcgee's, Kingshead, Spanish arch, 2 others I cant remember right now and some went to Halo and Club K, back to the residence bar until about 4:30 - 5 for some of the lads.

Stopped in Charleville on the way home for a few hours for a bit of grub and a curer.

Raw in work now though, well worth it. Will have to head back up again soon.

I'd say the city centre was buzzing on Saturday. No stag trip to Galway is complete without a visit to The KingsHead

Ya it was a great weekend, the square was hopping on Saturday all evening, great atmosphere around, the stag got stopped at Fibbers as he was dressed up but we half expected it, so he just took off the costume and went around and normal clothes, as with large groups a few got stopped places but there was no trouble and everyone enjoyed it.

I was led to believe that the ratio between men and women was tilting heavily towards a pro-male ratio, never good for the shift, unless you're a woman or in to men. :pac:

Thought I'd break up the day by strolling across to the Subway and getting a bit of grub, nothing wrong with that, women in front proceeds to order 6 footlong subs.

Must have taken about 10 mins to get through her order for various people, if I wasnt so hungry and the fact I didnt trust the other fast food places I woudl have left.

Very frustrating I thought she was going to keep on ordering more and more as she scrolled through her phone.

I'll consider it for next time anyway, the bus driver insisted on no food on the bus so had to try and wolf it down, feed of points, and southwest sauce resulted in instant heartburn.

When you are hungover, people are more awkward, slower, stupid and just plain inconvenient. This is a fact.

I used to think it was just me, just coincidence, it's not.
