[cross- curricular]

Longford, Cavan and Monaghan seems to be the cowboy music heartland.

You forgot Tyrone.

Fermanagh is hardly much different..

Is this kind of music a catholic only thing up the north? Or is it cross- curricular?

What?

I think he means do Protestants listen to that kind of music as well   

Exactly. Well? Do they? Do the protestants flock to Hugo Duncan, Philomena etc. as well? I dunno? But I am serious about this?

Yes they do ... why wouldn't they?

because many of our interests are different say like motorbike racing seems to be much more popular among Protestants here in the North.

We're more into racing cars, and it doesnt have to be your own car,

Love Ballina, Westport and Enniscrone (when it's not crowded).
Great call on Dungarvan in Waterford. Some great wee villages and rural pubs round about Portlaw and Carrols Cross area. Might have been my youth or the great weather but I have great memories of the area.

Headed to Dunfanaghy this summer when I'm back, have a wee spot booked right on the beach. Donegal has some gems.

I was going to say Dunfanaghy. I have great memories from there as a young leader at summer camps. Take a walk up around Horn Head for some great views. Also there is a hidden beach about a mile or two accross the dunes from the football pitch which was pretty cool.

Tramore. Beautiful place to walk and see Tory changing shape the further along you go. Rarely run into anybody else. Spent many a day there before heading to pub at top of village for gorgeous pints of stout

Yes many a childhood in Tramore, took the kids there one time, had great fun

Bunbeg, its been a while but I would have went often enough, and with the National park beside it you've got one of the best areas to walk around

Good call, although I think the recession has hit it hard.

Must get back to it then, stayed at the harbour hotel twice and then further up the road at Teac Jacks a couple of times

Hiudai Beag's used to be a fantastic spot.
Drink pints till they come out of your ears and have the craic with anyone that comes in.

Havent been back to it in years.

Was there a nightclub called Seaview or similar?

Aye, was there one year (24 years ago! feck I'm old)  for New years! great craic altogether

Ikea all the way

Meant to say other than IKEA lol

Decent price? Gumtree

Not sure there is anything more to say here

Let's see how many more links seafoid can post before it gets shutdown.

275 pages and counting

Would be interesting to see who had the most posts in those 275 pages.

Syf/Sid.... seeing as they are the same 

[having made complete tits of ourselves]

Carlingford is an awful kip. A once lovely town infested by Stags and Hens, you can't move from Friday to Monday for them on a normal weekend, never mind a bank holiday and it's like Andytown in July. Fat women in 4 inch heels and too much make up getting airlifted off the mountain. Locals can't afford houses, they are all on Airbnb now. People in Omeath are now advertising their houses as being in Carlingford. For those who don't know it, Omeath is like Tenko with added inbreeding and slightly more despondency, with a bit of luck Brexit will bring a hard border and no one will ever pass Davey's Pub again.
€15 for a one way trip on the Scenic Carlingford Ferry over to Greencastle. I'll repeat that €15 and we complain about prices for the national league. At least there's a chance when they get as far as Greencastle they won't be back, they'll never get out of Kilkeel alive.

Hens and Stags do have a lot to answer for. A f**king scourge to all, except the breweries.

Never been on a stag do? If you owned a shop, bar, cafe or restaurant, you'd be hoping they make your place a target...

I have, but they have morphed into an abomination, where people behave nothing like they would on a normal night out. Pubs, hotels etc encourage them, but a lot of people abandon their local towns in heg/stag season.

Yeah, I get that, I would have went to Carlingford a lot but once the stags set up shop there, it has changed dramatically. But having been at a great stag there not so long ago and having made complete tits of ourselves, I understand that people who live there (not bar owners ) would find the place just about bearable! So we are going to Spain for the next one!!

what did you do - show them your gaaboard posts

Watched an excellent All Saints minor team last night. Confident there would be two or three potentially good county seniors in their ranks if they stay at it. Notably a midfielder too, really caught the eye.

Senior leagues start tonight. All quiet on here....everyone quietly optimistic as usual at this time of the year lol.

Tight lipped!!!!!!!

Thank god that sets my mind at rest a bit. Am thinking surely if something wrong it would show up on screen.

Cheers to you both. Its a Vauxhall Astra.

My car does it also

Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enrole your kids in a swimming club and see how much you pay, back 15 years ago we were lying £250 for 2 kids.

Was going to say that, there are other sporting bodies out there that cost a lot.. Hockey, soccer and no doubt rugby all charge a lot... then you have to buy all the shit that goes with it..

During my juvenile days you got it all, free lift to and from club if needed, free sticks, food afters and a bottle of coke!, trips to Croke park to watch the finals and the summer scheme was free also. Our club had money then, not so much now
