Maybe not very cool, but we went walking in Castletown House in Celbridge at the weekend. I had never been before. It is huge, and an amazing place for a walk. Couldn't believe I had never heard of it before.

Heading to Normandy for the D-Day anniversary, 70th this year. Going on the ferry, wonder if the queen of england will be on the same one...

Sailing over to the Aaran Islands from Galway on Saturday, spending the night there and sailing back Sunday! Looking forward to it!

I just checked MET office 5 day forecast, it is looking good, 15-20*..

Not cool as such, but we're going to the chip championships in Limerick on Saturday afternoon. It's part of the Culture and Chips festival there. Any excuse for a bag of chips:)

Good man. Thank you for your contribution

The One Doctor

It's too early to be talking about weekend.

castletownman

Doing what I do every weekend.

Try to take over the world,take the heart of a young one, weep uncontrollably into my pillow after going home alone again.

Plazaman

I have to take part in the Flora Mini Marathon and I'm not (a) a runner (b) a woman.

Footing turf is quite nice if the weather is good.

You have got to be sh*tting me. Was footing turf last Saturday, hamstrings still haven't recovered.

Sauve

Going to Glasgow \o/
Then coming back and doing the Flora 10k.
Silly silly order to be doing things in :pac:

I have a feeling the lads did the bulk of the work tbh. I was only doing it for the day. I suppose it's fairly hard going alright! I like the bog, though.

Raminahobbin

CAT LAUGHS! In Kilkenny. Beer and Comedy.

Other than that, sure just pack up a picnic and the car and head off into the sunset. That's my intention.

(and then I have to sort out my filing cabinet one of the days. Le sigh.)

Posh work party. Recover from posh work party. But clothes for new job. Flora 10km. Pints of Guinness for, um, muscle recovery or something.

Plenty of drinking and little else.

Super-Rush

Have 30 people coming over on Saturday afternoon for a BBQ and if i'm still standing come Saturday night we're heading out. Then recover for the next 4-5 days.

I shall be attending a barbeque. The weather is supposed to be good so fingers crossed.

Achill Island here I come! Golf, running, hill walking, a few pints and plenty of crack. If I can find a cheap reel for my rod I might try to squeeze in a bit of fishing.

rainbow kirby

Making it a long weekend, flights *to* Ireland were dirt cheap this weekend (£42 return for us ). Drinking with my friends and visiting my family in Dublin, heading west, going to a hurling match and looking at a pile of potential wedding venues. Surprisingly enough I'm not doing the Women's Mini-Marathon even though I've done it 7 times before - did the Bupa London 10,000 last weekend instead.

At least the weather looks a bit better this weekend than the absolute garbage we had for the UK bank holiday...

wes

A combination of Mario Kart, Watch Dogs, Transistor and Wolfenstein. Will be going to cinema as well, and maybe visit the park if the weather nice as well.

Lyaiera

Being broke, missing my friends, and F5'ing forums with very few new posts because all ye bollixes are out having fun.

wp_rathead

Going to a wedding - great excuse to suit up

gugleguy

Try and steer clear of the bank holiday aspect side of things.

I'm sure you will find some use for your rod.

If only...

ToddyDoody

I may be moving house... I will be watching the wire... I may drink a small or larger amount of alcohol... I may travel (not too far)

Soapbox races and Rory Gallagher festival for at least one day/night.

gugleguy

You'll be grand if you take the BH weekend like any other BH weekend: expect Macdonaldisation of services in general. Like the electronic Dublin Bus timetables more than likely saying "Sorry, not in service". Hard to get taxis. CROWDS and a "Follow the crowd to be happy" attitude in the Cities.

Zero plans. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

Horse riding sun morn.

Will either be outdoor trekking or indoor arena depending on weather.

Going with a beginner though so won't get to do much.

Going to dance in morning then maybe into town into the library bar /central hotel sat afternoon. Not sure if I will do anything mon maybe run (if my legs are ok after riding on sun!) or gym. But i haven't been on a horse for a while so i am likely to be sore and wanting to watch Audrey Hepburn movies!:)

Running and horse riding do NOT mix.

Sir Arthur Daley

4x4 off roading, head out for dinner, fly the rc helicopter after finally repairing it, mass, pub, night club, kebab time, go on the job, couple of cars to look at and lots of sleep.

Don't have a bank holiday weekend!

Stupid emegration :mad:
