    South but I don't go crazy shopping for christmas, maybe some charity gifts these year, too many people complaining in this country when we have it really good compared to a lot of people on this planet.

    Will be doing a mixture between North and South, 15 minutes beside the border.

    (What about a poll)

    I heard there were great bargains in wet wipes in ASDA Lifford.

    Could do with some of those at a reasonable price as me hole is a bit chapped after a bad dose of the trots.

    If the price is right why not.

    We have been ripped off for too long in the ROI.:mad:

    The Flanderses aren't really into hookers, what with not believing in Mary Magdalene.

    South for two reasons,

    Firstly so Im not one of those people who whinges about the state of the country and then proceeds to dump all there christmas VAT into the English governments coffers.

    Secondly, I`m too far south to get there in any reasonable amount of time !
