    Depending on what part of Raheny, that's only about 6km (or 4 miles), so get a bicycle! For most people this kind of journey should take less than a half hour. At the most not much more. What does the bus take?

    You can put your exact address into the DTO's walking & cycling journey planner (put DCU in as "COLLINS AVENUE WEST, WHITEHALL, DUBLIN") and it can give you an estimate of how far it is and how long it'll take (make sure you select 'cycle', as 'walk' is the default).

    Wahey!
    Right, will there be a Niall 1 and Niall 2 system in place, or am I just getting overly excited here?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 129 ✭✭Paddy-Megans-Lo


    If you so wish... But who gets to be number one and number two, huh? There is sure to be a battle of the egos...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭Sindy1990

    Maybe we could organise it by date of birth or second names or something that isn't going to boost or damage egos!!!!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭thusspakeblixa


    Hmmm...
    I'll be Niall 2, it sounds like the sequel anyway, which means people will have low expectations, and lo, shall I charm them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭Sindy1990


    hmmm....well we could come up with some kind of nickname for one or both of you? Or maybe attach the 1st letter of your last name to Niall.....endless possibilities really!

    Oh here's a question we havn't had in awhile, what module did you pick?
