TPA - I am from Dublin and it is a lovely city. Don't know what parts you saw Dinah but I think hellhole is quite a strong and misguided (IMO) word!!! There are some wonderful pubs, restaurants and shops there and you are bound to have a good time!

Jury's is always a good bet, as it is relatively inexpensive and quite central. I can give you the heads up on any areas if you have picked a hotel

Ok perhaps a bit of an overreaction but I lived there for 2 years and have nothing but bad memories of the place. Lived north and southside.

I'll agree that jurys is good. Was thinking bewleys (If its still called that) out near the RDS is tr! swankey.

The Bewleys at the airport is GORGEOUS. I got a great deal on it through hotels.com. I'd go there just for a weekend away it was so nice! (There is an airside Butlers too... can you tell my route from train station (Butlers kiosk, closed Sunday evenings) through the town (several Butlers) to the airport is entirely defined by places to get hot chocolate?!)

Hey! That was NIM, not me! I like Dublin - it has Butlers!

Lol- thought it sounded out of character for you!

People from smaller cities in Ireland tend to have a chip on their shoulder about Dublin. I think they get scared when they are in a big city!!!!

Citys are fine. Its the inhabitants which are the issue. Couldnt swing a cat without hitting a bunch of AJHs on the dole queue or Ross O'Carroll Kelly royshes drinking pints of ken and thinking they were deadleh and tryin to snog everything in a short skirt. And as for the female Rossys, dont get me started on them. Seriously, how did you come out of the "Dirty old town" so nice?

And yes I know I'm from stab city but if the dublin based media will get hold of 2 familys feuding in the 70s it will get all blown out of proportion.

Lol - to be fair, I am from the county not the city, and far from the city at that! Still think it is a great city though

Looking to order my giant games today too, giant jenga, dominoes, quoits and pick up sticks to go with the croquet we already have for £60 (which is cheaper than renting the damned things!)

Sounds fun! At least you're getting a bit more organised with it now! I like the boxey things with the rose petals, very sweet!

Did you order the shawl yesterday? Just clicked on the link and it's sold either way! I'm not too keen on it though if I'm honest (but then I'm not wearing it!) Just looks a little stiff, if that makes sense? The colour is nice though!

As far away from that hellhole that might once have been irish as you can.

Oolala! Put the claws away Nim!

Anyways! Heres the tattoo with my Sisters (whos stupidly skinny and paleness makes my arm look all fat and pink! People think I'm pale, my Sister's a ghost!) Click! It's only about 1cm by 4cm, but it was bloody painful!
