It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

I am reading Harry Potter book 1 to my youngest at night and last night was chapter 12 which is just at the Christmas school holidays. So I will expect the half way to Christmas talk to start.

I am loving how interesting the GAA is this year and Second Captains is having some great podcasts. I can't see the Dubs being anywhere close to beating Donegal but we can only dream.

@DvB enjoy the holidays, I haven't been to the Canaries since my early 20's when I went with an old flame. I fly back to Ireland via Doha overnight on the 9th. Not keen on red eye flights but it was free with air miles so had to grab it.

I am showing my age I guess. My old flame also lives in Dublin still, I believe with her parents still which shows how mad housing is in the capital. We went to Fuerteventura, we were just 20 I'd say, it was the year the song 'Hey ya' was released is about how much I remember of it.

I am still hopeful we can make Lapland work this year, thanks for all the comments.

The only thing I've heard going on in my area is a charity dawn cycle on Sunday morning to mark the earliest sunrise of 2026.

My brothers heading to Metallica tonight & Sunday. I asked him why he was going two nights & he said two different set lists for each night apparently!

Yes, heard they were doing different set lists alright and different support acts too.
