    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.

    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.

    Making it a long weekend, flights *to* Ireland were dirt cheap this weekend (£42 return for us :D ). 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...

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

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

    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.

    Trying to think of something cool to do, something outdoorsy during the day..

    So, anyone have anything cool planned?

    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.

    If anybody are stealing cabling etc leave the green line luas intact. Nice people use it. And leave the DART alone too. gugleguy uses it too once in a while.

    So a typical student day then? Minus the excessive eating and lack of TV watching
