  • .ie: This Dell Didn’t Have Far to Travel

    Excellent breakfast in the B&B (not quite up to Ulster Fry standards, but pretty stomping nonetheless), then headed out to being sorting stuff out for the day. Joe and Sabrina were sorting out the food, Katherine and Clare were taking the kids to The Cage — some random indoor playpark for kids with bouncy stuff,…

  • .ie: Pour Me a Guinness

    Tynan’s. Drinkies. Abrakebabra. Hotel. Doner. Bed.

  • .ie: Saving Rented Marea

    Kilkenny in the dark is not fun to navigate round, especially with two really dodgy looking maps! We were rescued by Katherine, Sabrina’s friend in Kilkenny who was putting up with us our contact, guide, assistant, fixer, and general sorter-out of stuff. She took us to meet her partner Joe, who was hosting the Thanksgiving…

  • .ie: Santa or Rush Hour, Hmmm

    Sabrina took Ellie up this random tower/chimney thing beside the hotel, which equally randomly had a Santa at the top. This meant the rest of us could sit back with some drinkies without a small girl running around us and asking for beer 🙂 Before heading off, we nipped into a next-door Spar, grabbed some…

  • .ie: Airport Coffee is Expensive

    It was time to go pick up Clare and her daughter Ellie from the airport. Somehow, I had the route there and back totally nailed, and Sabrina and I sat about in one of the airport bars drinking coffee and talking about random things appearing on Sky News. Clare is not a good flyer apparently,…

  • .ie: It Begins …

    The meandering to Kilkenny had begun towards Prestwick Airport. A fraught drive down the A77 gave me about half an hour to spare to do those niggly little things like park the car, check in and board the plane – for my last travel through Prestwick, I arrived about two minutes after the gate closed,…

  • ‘I Take Every Day One Beer At A Time, Every Beer One Sip At A Time’

    Finally, I’ve made it back into the house after a week all over the frickin’ place. Southampton, Dunbar, Glasgow, Dundee — the poor car didn’t know what happened to it 🙂 So I’m back at my desk at home, plugging away at work, listening to Denis Leary: No Cure for Cancer, thinkin’ about paying some…

  • Real World Intrusion

    I was driving back from Andy’s earlier — gave him a lift home to Penilee after a chilled weekend with ade and qif — and I decided to stop in Asda for a couple of odds and sods. On the way out, I spotted a billboard beside the Tryst car park, announcing the new development…

  • well, iyanus and I didn’t

    well, iyanus and I didn’t do the nottingham run, but what we did do was stoat down to Cardiff to see our mate Jim on Friday evening with Ade and Martin. We left Cumbernauld about fiveish, had to detour round Clydebank then Paisley then Hamilton before we could continue the mass pilgrimage to the land…
