So, to get back Off-Topic or so to say :P

I'm looking for suggestions on where to take wifey for a weekend away in November. Needs to be in Ireland, only planning on two days so flying not really an option.

Was thinking somewhere like Lahinch, but it's ruddy November

Might just book into somewhere in Galway, it's a pretty neat place and she hasn't been there.

Come to Dun Laoghaire. We have a Pier. Two in fact. We also have more ice cream places than we know what to do with. This time of year the sea breeze will strip the face clean off your skull.

Come to Belfast! Tons of shappin for your lady, tons of cool bars for you. And you can do the black taxi tours to learn about how people tried to kill each other. I hear it's very interesting. And the Titanic museum is pretty cool (bit expensive though). Our Christmas market is open from mid November too so that's an added bonus. And the exchange rate is brilliant for Euros at the moment. I know this because I get raped on the ****ing exchange every time I go down home.

And you get a bonus in the form of showing your lady that not all people on the internet are weird and crazy if you want to meet up for a pint with me and Mr Molly.

There is an indoor skydiving centre down the road from the Titanic place as well.

Anyone got the cure for the flu?

I have lost at least a stone in snot...

I don't have a gun

I'm the phone in bed, its man flu which we all know is very dangerous

Molly have you heard of Revolut? Its a phone linked bank account, really good exchange rates.

If you're regularly up and down then buying €€€ when the pound is strong and sitting on them until you're down south might be a way to do it.

Otherwise just transfer between the currencies, its a good rate, £1 - €1.12 which is pretty decent

@Molly: Sorry about Primark

I don't even care about the Primark bit coz I never really went in there too much if I could avoid it but it was a really gorgeous building and right in the heart of the city centre too. It's rightly bolloxed up the shops around it and the retail core is suffering really badly because there's no through road now. One of the shops that is closed is apparently losing up to £1million a week in lost revenue. Everyone is giving out that they should just take down the building and get everything reopened but with the state it's been left in it's incredibly dangerous and taking it down would be a very slow process. Not to mention that it's listed and needs approval from the Heritage people before they can move to do anything to it. It's so upsetting.

I actually have Revolut and it is a lifesaver. But I remember the good old days before Brexit when I would've been getting €1.30 - €1.40 for my pound. The pound is never that strong anymore and I really feel the difference when I go down.

Not having a functioning government must be slowing things up as well.

Apparently the City Council have had to go straight to Teresa May's cabinet to beg for relief funds because Stormont are a useless pack of **** who can't get their fingers out of their holes long enough to let their heads deflate.
