    Used to go to either Kilmore Quay or Rosslare Strand on dem summer days back in the 90s, global warming has put an end to it though.

    One of my favourite things is driving down to our beautiful coast and going for a walk along the cliffs or on the beach to be followed by going to the pub for a bowl of soup and a samwidge.

    The weather doesn't even matter. The coast is even more beautiful in a storm imho.

    It'd be cheaper to hire a hooker for an hour.

    Tis nice, but its a Sunday morning cycle these days and that is even nicer, it would be great if we could get this weather every Sunday.

    I am going to start a petition and we will send it in to met eireann to make sure we do. Its pointless them dishing out the good weather when everyone is in work.

    I used to always go for a drive up by Omeath and Carlingford on nice Sundays but there's a huge influx of Dubs appearing up that way lately whenever the weather is good, and driving on narrow country lanes as if they were still in the city. Idiots

    It should be a violation of human rights to be in work in Ireland on a sunny day. It's so rare that it should be provided for in the constitution. *says he, posting on an internet forum in 20 degree heat*

    Sounds good but don't forget that nowadays a 99 costs about 14 euros.

    Oh wow. We did this every Sunday when I was young with the family and a picnic.

    If you asked where we were going, it was always as far as turn back!

    You say it ,like 20 degree's is warm!:P
    I refer to 'sunday drives' as a country thing, or rather a day that those slow slow SLOW drivers take to the road. Walking is much more relaxing , at least you can 'over take' the person/people who's slowing you down, without them trying to cause an accident!

    Can't enjoy driving on a sunny Sunday in Dublin to be honest.

    The only place away from the city centre on the Northside is out by Howth, Malahide and Portmarnock and sure enough, the first glimpse of sun...every person north of the Liffey takes to the roads and it is usually jammers...

    Just sitting in the car, in traffic, in the heat, chugging petrol and just hoping for a little bit of nice open road to put the boot down...when that comes it ends soon when you catch up with a Nissan Micra or a Yaris, packed to the gills with the blue-rinse brigade, doing 30 km/h...

    Better to just stay at home or wait til the sun goes down!

    Petrol costs too much. I cant get into the car without feeling that horrible sense of money being sucked from me.

    Depends what part of the country you're in, but residents in Limerick have an enhanced form called the Sunday Drive-By...each to their own I guess.

    This is why I wish my partner or I had a car, there is nothing worse than feeling trapped in some kipend of suburbia. Sun's still out so a nice walk might do me grand.
