Gang of us looking for a change of scenery this year for new years. Thinking of renting a house somewhere. Thing is we're not 100% sure what we want to do. Ideally want to find a house that's not too far from a town so that we could get a taxi or something into town if we decided on that. Anyone got any suggestions for something like this or have a good idea of something to do for it?

Crettyard in Co. Laois, stunning part of the world.

Get so pissed drunk that you're trying to look sober at the bar to order another pint,missing the midnight countdown, not bringing home that chick you were talking to, and spending twice what you usually do on a Saturday night.

Roll on New Years.

I hear the Gaza Strip is nice this time of year.

A friend's daughter did this last year, was in Kerry somewhere. They had a blast apparently.

Get a large cardboard box and hide inside it until it's all over.

After working on my assignment for the past 5 hours, I took a break to have a gander on Boards.

I read this as

I need to stop looking at the computer screen for a bit I think.

Up near Malin Head.

Big cheap houses this time of year and great craic in the villages/towns.

Which town?

We stayed near Inis Owen (?) but bounced around to a few spots throughout the week. Good craic to be had up there.

Throw a dart at a map of Ireland and go there.

Haven't you been reading the news? You can get a whole ghost estate for the same price as a week in some cottage. You could have the craic outside and then at the end of the day, you can each go to your own gaff. Gone are the awkward silences and arguments that your pals will have.

Well, I ain't repeating last year after going to the gf's mate's house.

Quassi Jazz-punk-hip-blues-contempary folk music, Shiraz, and talking about the finer points of where good mussels can be found on the west of Ireland before everyone cracks out the cups of tea at 11:30pm because they don't want to go out now while I sit amongst them drinking and holding my cans of Bavaria slowly being overwhelmed with rage was NOT what I had in mind.

I left, made it to a pub before the countdown and it's was 80's music night too. Result! :pac:

Edinborough, that's where it's at apparently.
