    This thread.

    Ireland is what you make of it. Cop on, go to bed. Get up earlier. Go for a run.

    I don't know...

    Cornamona in Co. Galway. They used to run a really crap Gaeltacht summer camp over there. It was terrible, stuck in a parish Hall for 3 weeks playing indoor soccer.

    Actually I have discovered a minor paradox. Kinvara is actually the most boring and the most exciting place in Ireland - depending on whether there is a gig on there.

    I have seen so many gigs there - with the most wonderful after parties. From Charis to the night John Martyn played there - and man what a party that was.

    To the night I went there when there was no gig on and it was 6 houses and a tiny broken down little pier - and an ice cream store with a sign saying "be back next week".

    If there was a most boring place, like a scientifically established most boring place I'd like to go there. I imagine I'd be excited to go there. I'd arrive there, full of excitement for visiting the most boring place in Ireland, and then I'd arrive, and be bored. And I'd be really disappointed. And that's exactly what's wrong with me.

    I wish I could thank this twice. My little doggie is called rico informally, his proper title being Rico Rodriguez Bailey.

    It may be wealthy and safe but large parts of South Co Dublin are pretty staid, places like Booterstown or Monkstown.

    Kindof like a Guinness Book of records type thing!? I bet a thrawl through newspapers etc would reveal someplace that never gets a mention and has never had anything remotely interesting hqppen or emerge in a place.

    Or, you get there and your excitement about being in the most boring place in Ireland is just enough to lift the town spirit so it's no longer actually the most boring and they lose their title, get really angry and then attack you with sacks of doorknobs.

    I would say Lucan, because irrelevant to its proximity to the city centre, the actual town is so fractured wi feck all to do unless you get a kick out of housing estates.

    That said, nothing happens there until something massive happens. Such as a bomb or robbery or an execution. But the day to day - tedium.

    Shannon - You will sometimes see bewildered American tourists wandering around the "town centre" wondering where it is. The locals are a right odd bunch too.
