    Anyone want to start a collection to send poor oul 'Sugarfree' back up to Mayo? It should only cost about a tenner on Bus Eireann. Immigration of cranky Mayo people hasn't gone away with the demise of the Celtic Tiger :D

    The racist underbelly of Galway is showings it's true form.

    Oh and biko banned me from Mayo. I'd happily go back there in the morning.

    Fantastic day today and yesterday. Brought the pooch down silver strand yesterday for a walk. Is the water warm enough to go swimming yet? It's tempting.

    I think Ireland in general can't be beat when the sun is shinning. We're just immune to it's beauty at this stage. Any time I've gone to Spain or any other hot country and spent any time travelling through their so called countryside I have to admit it's pretty awful looking and desolate scenery.

    Then coming back to Ireland even on a bad day it looks brilliant, there's an instant atmosphere and it burns vibrant colour into your eyeballs.

    Great to read most of the happy, positive posts on here ... a big change from all the doom and gloom in the country. And Sugarfree, take a chill pill and enjoy a bit of banter. Hell, some of my best friends are Mayo people (..incredible as it seems).

    If we get more than a week of sun come back and see us complain about too much sun.

    There is no need to pay a small fortune for a holiday when the sun is out in Galway. Loads of nice restaurants and bars; and not forgetting the great views when either on the beach or walking the prom.

    I'm not knocking Galway, and agree that today was fantastic. (Am even sad I've got a temping gig on, though getting money to pay the rent is nice ;-) )

    But some of ye really do need to travel more. I know a few places that make Galway and the prom look like Brighton's shabby cousin.
