You guys still have it easy. It was 4 degrees (Fahrenheit) here yesterday, it's up to a blistering hot 20 degrees right now. Our winter temps are ****ed. We had one day where it was -20 degrees, then the next day it was +20. So 40 degree difference in temp in a 24 hour time span.

its the irish way to moan brolly is from donegal i believe, it gets wild there on the atlantic coast, i used to spend my summers as a child up there :eek:

we are lucky though; ireland is the same latitude (53 degrees north) as places like edmonton in canada and southern alaska; never in a million years would we experience anything like the temperatures in those places in winter though, it rarely snows here, rarely goes much below freezing, 20 degrees here (-7C) would be considered a really really cold day. i remember me and a group were in chicago in january couple of years back it was something like -5 (-20C) with windchill bringing it to -13 (-25c), that was mad, now i cannot imagine what -20 or -30F is like

on the flip side we don't get summers, anything above 60 degrees (16c) would be seen as a heatwave

I think I am the only one staying at Lexington now lol. Heh, it'll be a restless sleep I suspect anyways, doesn't look to be many bars near my hotel so guess we'll have to venture! haha.

I'm staying at the Lexington still. There's a bar in the hotel.

We arrive on the 25th. The Liverpool game kicks off at 4pm GMT which is 9am in Phoenix. We might be lucky and get to see it in the hotel. It should be on Fox Soccer, i hope.

4pm GMT would be 8am in Phoenix on March 28.

Arizona doesn't adhere to daylight savings time.

I planned doing 'Baby's steak and lemonade' and 'Matt's big Breakfast', and I have just found Uncle Sam's that looks reaaly good, and Pizzeria Bianco claiming to be The BEST pizza in the world! It seems to be overcrowded but I'd love to try

PWR Show are filming live broadcasts from Baby's on Thurs, Fri and Saturday with special guests. I'm heading down on the Friday.

got a special offer from lexington the other day $62 for the room per night so i moved our group in there, saving nearly $75 a room over the 4 day period compared to the motel we were booked into and we had 5 rooms booked so thats a decent saving

really hope its ok, the motel was 3rd rated place in the whole of phoenix and it was closer to town

Round this time two week we will be wandering round the lobby get ready for the arrival of the Brolly Bus

The way this season is going missing the first half might not be so bad.

It's going to get a whole lot worse next Sunday, oh yeah.

I've read some pretty good reviews of the Lexington recently, should be good. What kind room were you offered for that price? I booked a twin queen room for $99 a night.

all of them were offered and all same price, i booked 5 queen delux rooms, add in tax works out about $290 per room for the 4 nights, which while not great is still by far the cheapest i have seen in central phoenix during mania week

What part of the forgotten County did you visit then?

my dad is from moville so every summer without fail it was off there for our hols, was a nice little town back in the mid 80s actually, was up there a few years back and time has done it no favours, pity
