    Whats everyone's favourite things to do in Mayo, pastimes etc. Most people think there's nothing to do around here (without spending a small fortune), so lets use this thread to prove them wrong and show them they're just unable to make their own fun!! Example: I love going out fishing for the day... :)

    Playstation 3 for me!

    I really don't get fishing, I can't see what the attraction is to it.
