    Closest I can work out from this morning's news is that it's living in abandoned taxis? Why?

    Glamping is paying slightly less than hotel prices to stay in a cramped strangely shaped shed or tent, probably in an area which you would not otherwise have heard of.

    It's when members of a particular community glamping with their lurchers late at night on private property to get the makings of a rabbit stew to feed the poor childer.

    There was a piece on the RTE news last night featuring a chap who runs a glamping site in Sligo, and the main attraction/accommodation is a decomissioned Boeing 747 (without wings)! he also has atleast one London double decker & multiple old London Taxis bus on his glamping site :)

    Sounds great.

    Camping with comfort. Seems to be taking off. Great idea imo. Tourism could do with the boost. A tad overpriced at the minute though which defeats the purpose.

    Glamping.... boutique camping.... Gluten-free, organic, locally-sourced, hand-crafted, artisan, fair trade, instagram camping.

    This all points to camping's looming hipness saturation point. Roll up for butterfly embroidered bed rolls.

    The vagrancy of fashion stimulates the inevitable flux but true campers are aware and remain staid like a correctly pitched Vango Sabre 300 in the Comeraghs.

    It's camping but not having to sleep on cold ground giving yourself a kidney infection. You get a real bed.
    That said, I'd still rather stay in a hotel.

    I didn't know Leitrim bordered Cavan and agreed to share the cost of their tourism marketing efforts.

    Heard about this the other day, all I could think was: "Why?"

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Seems pretty stupid to me. Why not just stay in a hotel or B&B?
