It’s right on the coast. Has a big sea front, there’s a big lake in Wicklow just up the road.

Yeah, that must've been it. Got the train from Dublin to Bray. Then got picked up and driven through the countryside to the lake. It was nice scenery.

Yeah about 30 mins drive from Dublin or 45 on the dart which goes right along the coast

We're over in Clifden Co. Galway for New Year. We've had a day walking over to Omey Island and pottering along the Sky Road around Connemara. Early meal booked for 6.30pm then off for some Irish hospitality in Lowry's bar for the rest of the evening... Sláinte. 

Wishing everyone a great evening and a fantastic 2020!

I’m jealous, lovely part of the world.

not sure of your itinerary /time but if you get chance get the ferry cruise on Lough Corrib into Cong /Ashford Castle , where the quiet man was filmed, if you like that sort of stuff it’s great, but it’s a lovely cruise and little town even if you’ve never seen it and lunch in Ashford castle will get you loads of brownie points. 

Maybe just a little far , and loads around you but if you are looking for something to do I’d recommend that

just going round a mates for a massive game of uno

done casino a few times, went lakes last year

not really for me tbh, as leyther said, paying to get in your local pubs and double fair taxis isn't for me these days 

millar & Carter for a meal tomorrow before the darts final and that's it all done for another year

Staying in. Always do. Chinese from M&S with a couple of bottles of NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Thankfully Mrs Manc is of the same opinion as me and doesn’t want an overpriced meal and forced “fun” at a restaurant, paying to get in to a scrotey pub or paying quadruple Uber pricing

My birthday in Jan so we save our money and go off for a long weekend somewhere.  Done Ireland before so was actually thinking of either Kinsale or Connamara Coast again in a few weeks time

I've got full on mon flu and bad aids in one of my ears. Safe to say I'm staying in tonight

Got home this afternoon, and now sat here with a sore throat, and shaking, tingling legs. Log burner on to a high temperature.

Just despatched the rest of the family to my brother's for his NYE celebrations.

Thought I'd missed it this time, but I reckon Mon flu is closing its grip. Bastard.

Had some great nights on NYE. Quiet one tonight though. Just watching ‘Dinner for one’ A German favourite for years on NYE.

This was mentioned on the news a couple of years ago. Showed a couple of clips, but I've never watched it. Is it really that good?

Wasn’t me mate. Honest. I didn’t give it you. But if I get it again I’m obviously blaming you!!!

😊 It depends on your sense of humour. A German told me about it over 20 years ago and it’s the first time I’ve watched it. It’s of it’s time as they say. Today, people would say it’s offensive to alcoholics, people suffering from dementia and low skilled workers. 🤷‍♂️

Haha.

As I said earlier, I had a touch of the Barry Whites this morning, so I think the lad has been generous over Christmas with his lurgi.

Went seeing that old fella earlier. Had to put on an apron and rubber gloves for infection control. I was so conscious every time I wanted to cough!

He's doing ok though, and has a window view so hopefully he'll see the new year fire works!

Woke up this morning feeling rough but SWMBO dragged me to John Lewis as they may have something in the sale that she needs. I lasted 15 minutes then went back to the car where I fell asleep. 

Back home at 2 o'clock and straight to bed until 7.30. Quick hot toddy and I'm back in bed until the morning. 

Have a great night everyone.

Good man. Hope the club do something for him. 

For those that don’t know TMGJ has been to see that old man that fell and broke his hip on the way out of the game the other say

Its why this place is so great. We may act like cunts every now and again, disagree on anything and everything, but deep down there’s really great and caring people on here
