I never knew there was so many Irish GAF, never mind Dublin GAF :O

The power of Evilore.

[la_briola]

Sound great. Have fun and be save. :)

Enough for a Dublin-gaf meet-up some day? :O

[maquiladora]

What the hell, is this normal in Dublin?

Living in Ireland all my life, never had anything stolen. Maybe I'm just lucky though.

[Hydranockz]

I think we just had the wettest June in quite a long time lol. Galway should be a blast.

A friend of mine got mugged in Dublin in the 80s, though he admits it was mostly his own stupidity to walk around the town drunk in the night and entering some really dark quarter. You have such places in every city in the world I guess.

As a tourist there, I never had any feeling of danger myself, even in the night.

Oh, and I strongly raise my voice for a Galway visit. Such a nice town!

Don't let them hear you say that!! Galway is technically a city :O

[operon]

Hope you enjoy Dublin Evil, lived there while I went to Trinity College, nice you see you visited there and Checked out the Book Of Kells. If you can make it to Galway you enjoy it, my home city its fantastic and since much smaller than Dublin, its a little more relaxed and far easier to get around, train ride should take about 3 hours from Huston Station and theres regulars buses from Bus Arás

City you mean, If they can call Lisburn and Newry cities Galway is most definetly a city, Lisburn up until last year didn't even have a hotel

[Desmond]

Sure, they don't even speak English in Galway! ;)

[dubc35]

Dublin is fun. My wife and I were there in April. It was my first trip to Europe, really liked it.

[operon]

What another insulting the Culchies. Evilore have you been down O Connell's street yet. Its the city's main street not too far from Trinity College. There the Millenium Spire, I think its still referred to as the syringe by locals. Unfortunely your too late to see the floosie in the jazcussi

Anna Livia is at the Croppy Acre Memorial Park now. The Spire ( ''The Stiffy By the Liffey'') is underwhelming. If you go down O'Connell's St. Pop into the General Post Office/GPO.

Aye see the statue of the mighty Cú Chulainn.

[Hydranockz]

It's definitely fun to stand at the base of the Spire and look up to the top.

[Fari]

I've found that tourists really seem to like the spike for some reason, but many Dubs view it as a symbol of the boom economy and the insane spending associated with it.

Even better after you have a few cans on ya. Crazy haha. I swear it was gonna fall on me

It's ugly. We should've put a monument with some actual symbolism there instead.

[dubc35]

My favorite term for the spire I heard was the stiletto in the ghetto (no offense to Dublin or anything; I heard it from a Dubliner).

[Sephiroth503]

Lads, lads.

It's the tallest "sculpture" in the world. We should be proud. Even if it does give O'Connell St an erection (basically)

[Fari]

The best nicknames are "the binge syringe" and "the skewer in the sewer."

[leadbelly]

I had no idea he was already here. :/

I'm so sorry and all my excuses to everyone feeling offended. Last time I was there was in '93. My memories must be distorted. ;-)

[TheExodu5]

Lotus Exige? You have fantastic taste.

You going to eat at one of Ramsay's restaurants?

[Gloam]

Enjoy Dublin, as previously mentioned food is very expensive but a lot of places do good early bird menus; The Pig and Heifer up on Wexford Street does a great club sandwich and Rick's on Dame Street steams a good ham. If you fancy it there's plenty of good shows on in the theatres around the city. It's probably also worth taking the DART out to Howth to eat some fish and maybe travel south to Dun Laoghaire or further to Bray, go to the amusements!

no worries :-)

[ascii42]

Guiness and Jameson factory tours are alright. Been years since I done them but you get a few free drinks at the end. At the end of the Guiness one, I think I remember a nice view over the city.

Yeah, pretty much a 360 degree view, and it's one of the tallest buildings, if not the tallest. So yeah, great view.

[OnkelC]

EviLore, please drop me a PM as soon as you have an ETA in Cologne/Germany. Have some shopping to do ;)

[Leeness]

:)! Ah this is so exciting! You're pretty much on my dream trip, so definitely subscribing and reading.

Have a blast, I'm so excited for you!

I loved visiting Howth. It has some amazing hiking with views. Way too many photos from my trip last fall:

oh boy evil gets to eat at onkleC's house? jelly

[Salvadora]

You should go to the Natural History Museum, I really enjoyed it.

[EviLore]

Much, much, much needed nap and shower accomplished. Heavy rain now, so I'll be hanging out in the hostel common area until it's pub crawl time in an hour or so.

Everyone's so quiet! And speaking German! Hrm.

EviLore, please drop me a PM as soon as you have an ETA in Cologne/Germany. Have some shopping to do ;)

Will do.

[Count Dookkake]

Weather is overcast and lightly rainy. The cab driver from the airport lamented this heavily and sounded suicidally depressed about the state of the weather in Ireland. "People's kids, they aren't goin' outside and livin' life properly, yeah? There's no sun, just rain and rain all summer long. What a waste. What a terrible waste."

This is awesome.

[Salvadora]

Are you visiting the north at all?

[Deadly Cyclone]

Will watch.

I wish I had the money to do this. Enjoy man, you're doing something others may never get to. :)

Oh yeah. Germans and Australians. They travel hard, man. They will be represented everywhere you go.

[Leeness]

Everyone's so quiet! And speaking German! Hrm.

Go say hi and see if they'll pub crawl with you! Break those language barriers! Haha.

[Ledsen]

If everyone else can refrain from posting images in tags, that will help with my loading the thread on universally shitty public internet. Plus all the images will be from me, which is preferable for my thread anyway. When suggesting, feel free to link to stuff though.

Will do, sorry for the pic dump.

OMG Ledsen, is that Torneträsk ? I went there on November and it was dead, cold, brutal and unbelievably scenic. This looks like a total difference place during summer. EviLore, if you wanna come to Switzerland, come by and say hello, I'd show you some places of interest.

I actually don't know, I found it on a Swedish tourist site. Shouldve put some of my own photos up instead but was too lazy :)

[EviLore]

The affliction t-shirt gelled up hair tanned alpha bro American finally broke the silence in this quiet-ass room and we all got talking and agreeing to the pub crawl. Phew, things were looking dire there for a while, thanks alpha bro!

[Leeness]

Hurrah! Have a good time!

[CrudeDiatribe]

Tch, writing about yourself in the third person now?

What hostel are you at?

[ajf009]

I've been thinking about doing this after college.. Seems like a good time. I'd love to go pub crawling with locals :P

[Sephiroth503]

Have a good one man!

[Kentpaul]

Dont forget to come over to the scottish highlands and walk the west highland way

EviL is visiting Galway?

Been living here for some six months (Cork previously and before that Paris). It's a very nice city in my experience but the weather's utter shite here at the moment, like terribly bad even by Irish standards. It's usually pretty sunny compared to say, Cork.

The Volvo Ocean Race event is on until the 8th, I live right next to the main event area but I haven't bothered visiting after work due to... the rain ^^.

Subbed.

Haha. Next time, if it's dead silent just yell confidently "könnt ihr mal alle die Fresse halten?!" (Could you all shut up already?!). Classic German humor, always works like a charm for me.

[Zeouterlimits]

You've already arrived Evilore? Planning a Meetup at all?

Shame I'm so far away, but if you're still around Saturday, I'd love to swing buy.

Shame to hear about the weather too, lovely evening in my town this evening.

[Milchjon]

Haha. Next time, if it's dead silent just yell confidently "könnt ihr mal alle die Fresse halten?!" (Could you all shut up already?!). Classic German humor, always works like a charm for me.

Haha, I should try that sometimes.
