    Well I'm not, looking forward to a few pints and watching the sport.

    But are any of ye going abroad, travelling home, just going away for a break with the family?

    Oh and wait for the TV3 'American Themed' bulletin on the news on Good Friday morning that everyone is travelling home for the 'holidays' and that all roads, trains, airports will be packed.

    No. They. Won't. :rolleyes:

    Make sure you trim up 'down there', they won't want to see any spiders legs :pac:

    Can't believe people are making plans presuming we'll have good weather, this is Ireland remember, we are having our summer today and tomorrow and that's it :P

    Head to Barcelona from Fri - Mon with 8 lads, going to Osasuna match, and hopefully Messi and Co. will be perading the Kings Cup around the stadium beforehand! No doubt the weather will be nicer in Ireland then Barcelona knowing my luck!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,354 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    I wanna go to Vegas for a long weekend. Like 5 days or something. Offering to buy the flights and all for someone who wants to go and no takers amongst mates. The range of excuses have been incredible.

    I'd be more worried about the pickpockets than the weather tbh, be very careful!

    What were the excuses - they should be good considering they turned down a free trip to Vegas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,147 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Five day weekend in this part of the world :D

    Packing up the 4x4 early Friday morning and driving 900kms north to go camping, snorkelling and dolphin feeding. Booze will naturally be involved too. Need to make the most of the last week or two of 30 degrees before winter kicks in.

    :cool:

    Yea I've been there before, and seen them in action, will be extra vigilant!

    Sit in and read eye-wateringly pretentious novels with the curtains drawn.

    One wanted to bring his girlfriend. I don't wanna be a third wheel on my own trip. Two said it's not worth going all that way for 5 days. Another said he didn't wanna miss out on the traditional trip to Newry on Good Friday. Newry for fúcks sake! The rest said they wouldn't have the spending money. Starting to think they hate me.

    Well if you can't buy your friends, then I don't know what options you have left :pac:

    I kid, spending money in Vegas is probably worth a small fortune to some people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    for 99% of the year, unemployement is a depressing, soul destroying way of living.....but in weather like this i couldnt give a ****e!

    Ah it was this spontaneous decision so was short notice on them all. Looks like it might be Newry for me too.
