    Is it not like a bunch of farmers driving tractors around a field?

    Yes but lots more, stands, food etc :D Good fun!

    Awec, I sometimes get the impression from reading your posts that you’re from another continent, not a few miles up the road! :pac: The Ploughing Championships are an institution! Not that I'd ever go to them, mind you! :P

    Why has time stopped?! The day feels sooooooo long. I blame the weather :mad:

    Right, I'm working in Dublin tomorrow, not the city but I'm considering heading to Dundrum after work to go shopping in Dundrum for some new clothes etc....except I don't get paid until Friday and I'm slightly broke atm...not sure if it's a good idea or not!

    See ye there! :pac:

    There ain't a huge selection of mens clothes. House of Fraser is the best really.

    There's a hollister if you're into that.
    Perhaps! I'll let ye all know if I'm there anyway :)

    I've been to dundrum a few times at this stage - like it mainly for House of Fraser alright but overall I think there's just more stock and better choice under one roof than in Cork. Plus my mates live closeby so might meet them for a small bit if they're around.

    I don't love Dundrum itself, but I do love that it has some of my favourite shops there! Especially Massimo Dutti and LK Bennett. Although as I bought two pairs of shoes last time I was in LKB, it might be just as well I don’t go there more often! :cool:

    Really looking forward to going to Jamie’s Italian in Dundrum :D

    Verbal diarrhoea. Glad that marketing degree I did comes in handy (intense sarcasm, I do not have a business brain)

    Town now, that's another story!

    Dundrum is a fabulous area, home to the crem de la crem of Dublins fine people.

    And yet somehow we let you in...

    Be sure to wipe your feet when you get off the luas at Dundrum, it should be kept tidy and free from mess.

    I actually know a few people who complain about the "riff-raff" (their words, not mine!) hanging around Dundrum since the Luas got extended to Cherrywood.

    :pac:

    There's always unreal talent there I must say :D

    If I was in Dublin I'd go there weekly I'd say for coffee and an aul perusal around the place!

    I was discussing this with someone the other day btw - when you think of one of your friends/acquaintances as a child - all you see is their current grown up head on a tiny body - it's impossible to think of them looking like anything else!
