    What about 3 or 4 on a Sunday? Later in the day, to avoid queues?

    It's insane there at that hour, it only opens at 12.

    Go down on a Thursday evening for late night opening :)

    Do they sell the Kindle Fire? I'm guessing probably not

    It's on the tescodirect.com website, so I suspect some of their bigger stores would?

    According to this thread they will have them before Christmas

    What's Kildare village like on a Sunday? Is it usually rammed?
    Most Sundays I've been there they weren't overly busy.
    I went two Sundays ago and dear lord, it was mayhem. They had a temporary car park open to the left as I was going in and when I was coming out, going to get back on the m7, there was a mad long tailback of cars waiting to get in to the outlet. I'm guessing it will be ridiculous until Christmas.


    Edit, sorry I didn't read down far enough to see Stheno answered. :o

    You and I both forgot to mention the vast hordes of children that run around the place like escapees from an asylum :D

    Inevitably one of them always manages to crash into me.

    Awec have you tried the Outlet at Banbridge?

    I love when packages have tracking on them! Now I can sit here refreshing the page even though I know the earliest it will get here is Monday.

    I was thinking mad things, trying to figure out if I could've dislocated it or something. Hope you have some nice drugs for your pain.

    Can't remember if I told you all, the gardai confirmed they're going to prosecute him for dangerous driving. At the time of the accident, he had a ladder on the roof of the van so I suspect he may need his licence for work, in which case he will probably get away with it or just a small fine or something. Sadly in Ireland a fine of less than €200 and no penalty points is quite common for this type of offence :(

    That is insane! What a load of crap, after all he's put you through? There's so much wrong with that. I was in a car crash when I was 15 with my parents and they guy responsible got away with it even though he put all of us in the hospital. He then caused another accident again 4 years later (an accident he didn't survive). I seriously wish there were stricter punishment for recless driving.

    Trying to study but the gym across the road is pumping bass-heavy music and it's going through my head (hangover doesn't help either).

    Ohmygod I'm allergic!! I've never been there when it's that busy, may give going tomorrow a miss :(

    I can and will be making a civil claim but the only way that will effect him is marginally higher insurance premiums for a few years. It's not the same. From the way the guy reacted, I don't think it was the first time he caused an accident either.

    My lovely boyfriend just bought me a new Kindle. My other one mysteriously stopped working a few weeks ago and as I can't do much for the weekend, he decided to replace it for me :D

    Gah failed. Only just but because I didn't move into junctions at the lights for right turns, twice. Other two times I did. Stupid mistake. He encouraged me to go straight home and book for a cancellation and I'll have next test in two weeks. A couple of other blue marks to make it up to a fail but just one blue mark here and there no twos or threes.

    Translation seemed to be "I really don't want to fail you but I have to''

    Went a bit wide on the reverse around a corner but other than that it was mostly ok. Shocked I managed it without crying. Difference between how much more comfortable and at ease I felt with him compared to the last dude was unreal. Hope I get him the next time. Third time lucky, right?

    I'll take it as a good sign that he encouraged me to do my next test asap. Other tester was an asshole and I came out blaming him. I had planned on getting one lesson/pre-test before today but just didn't get around to it. Not sure it'd have made any difference, since I right junctions right half the time today. :pac:

    Why is it when I am going projects/assignments my family love to make noise, yet when I'm not, the prefer peace and quietness? With the pounding that's going on upstairs I'm afraid the floorboards will cave in!

    Just a little HTPC thing. New AMD F2 processor, the A6, 4gigs ram (plus 4 for my own pc) and a satellite card I already have. I just had to get the processor, motherboard, ram, psu and case.

    Edit: Come home with the shopping Mammy. I'm so hungee!
