    Looking for genuine off the wall holiday ideas. Would Yemen be nice this time of year?

    Great video on YouTube about that. I know some Romanian lads that say it’s like the Wild West. Well east.

    Don't knock it. I'd a great time there. I remember spending all day in one bar. I'd breakfast with a friend and we spent the whole day drinking. Tab came to £25 each. Local Chisinau brew of the same name was superb as well.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    All I remember is how expensive it is for everything.

    Think I spent about €100 in 4 days there that included breakfast, lunch and dinner every day on top of a rake of drink. I second the Chisinau, very easy to drink.

    Grand spot tho, plenty to see and do there too.

    Aye. Poorest nation in Europe so adjust the expectations but it's worth a short visit. I went for the Ireland match in 2016.

    It was. Completely random. I'd exhausted the supply of activities and one of the lads I was with fancied an early start so to the pub we went.

    Navan.

    Naaavan is actually lovely. Sitting on a street bench listening to the accent. A lovely wild droll in it. Fierce cultured people.

    The Ramparts along the River Boyne from Navan to Slane is easily one of the finest river walks in Ireland. Gorgeous, particularly in autumn listening to the weirs, rapids and birds as you meander past many old watermills. They should be selling the whole area to tourists on that walk. Go while it's still off the beaten track (particularly from Stackallen Bridge to Slane village).

    Leitrim

    Co Leitrim is a gem- I’ve no idea why it gets mentioned on these slagging places threads- there’s tons of things to see and do with some great hotels to stay in. Carrick on Shannon, Glencar waterfall, Lough Allen, great foodie scene. I absolutely love Leitrim. Can only conclude that people have never been there that slag it off
    Puts a whole list of counties to shame with all it has to offer

    There are few counties in Ireland that are genuinely grim and Leitrim is a long way from the bottom.

    Slagging is probably due to is size and lack of “importance”
