Went out for a few drinks last night with my 2 sons one who is almost 20 and takes a drink and one who is almost 18 and doesn't and was able to drive us. Great craic altogether and something I've been looking forward to doing for years
I emptied my bowels two hours ago.
Indeed. Many times you placed the contents of them on this Board
I was out last night too. I drank fizzy orange and chatted to three nice ladies individually.
One from Carrickmore, one from Newbuildings and one from Cork.
Then I came home and downloaded the Radio 4 - The Now Show podcast and listened to it in bed.

I will be 60 by the time I can go (legally) for a few pints with my two lads. I will no doubt be even crankier than I am now. Can't see the two boys enjoying it to much.

Take him to Mass.
Going to Liverpool for two nights on the batter but only options are Weds and thursday night or Sunday/Monday night. What would be the best option for hitting the town/ nightlife etc.

I'm heading off to see Bilbao v Barcelona in 2 weeks time with a group of lads in their 40's
Anyone ever been to Bilbao before
Last year we went to see Porto beat Benfica 2-3 in a great game. The atmosphere was just crazy.
Bilbao is a bit grim compared with other towns in the Basque Country like San Sebastian. Is quite industrial.
Has a nice old quarter all the same about a mile or two from the football pitch and the big funky Guggenheim museum beside the river along the way.
Bilbao = Strabane
San Sebastian = Derry
:D

Yes would agree with that Bilbao has nothing much to offer. San Sebastian is a great town and less than an hour away.

San Sebastian is a great little spot. Went to a wedding there a few years ago.
Not sure about the comparison with Derry though..!
Its the 90s since I went boozing in Liverpool, but back then Sunday nights were absolutely dead, most of the pubs and clubs were closed.
And while the pubs and clubs were great on Fridays and Saturdays, one strange thing was most places wouldn't let you in wearing jeans.
Things may have changed in the last 10/15 years!

Thats how you knew who was a local, they were wearing a suit, lads there for the night scruffs in comparison.

San Mames is meant to be the best atmosphere to experience in Spanish football. Was in San Sebastian for a wedding a month ago and drove north from Madrid through the BAsque Country. Some spectacular sights and the food was incredible.

Donostia is a pretty Little town with a nice beach and lots of rich people.
Bilbao has a heart. Great place all together. The transformation from industrial (along the English line) grim Little place to what it is today is incredible. Pinchos, very friendly people, incredible history.
San Mames is a bit like a bit cow shed structurally, but the atmosphere is out of this world; very close to the central bus station.

Wed/thurs probably your best bet. Great city and great people. V cheap to eat and drink when you're out. Makes you realise how much we are getting ripped off here at home. Most of the pubs do great grub and you won't pay more than £3-£3-50 fora pint in a normal pub. Will of course be more expensive in the fancy places. One of the best days crack I ever had over there was in the John Lennon pub on Matthew St...it's a cellar bar with Beatles music on the loop of coursewithgorgeous pints of Guinness at £2 a pop. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Some great wee local bars evenin the city centre.

wednesday and thurs r the better nights.
I've heard this is the last year of the San Mames stadium as they're building a new one.
Would there be any pubs there showing the league final. Presume they get Premier sports over there.
I see there is an Irish pub called the Dubliner.
It will be interesting me being the only Tyrone man amidst 10 Dubs.
Off to Newcastle this weekend, Co Durham ;) We've a few things sorted, paint balling on Friday and Dog track on the Saturday, we've also got a few pre-arranged pub crawls, but was wondering what are the best pubs for the late 30's very early 40 year olds? The thought of heading to a nightclub with over a 1000 people in it seems odd now!!
I'll probably not remember past 10 O'clock at night but I'll ask anyways

I knew there was a reason to have kids. Repopulate the county
and a free designated driver. Tell me more about this sexy child benefit thing I've been hearing about.
Heading to Torremolinos early tomorrow morning for the brother's stag, any recommendations on possible things to do - apart from enjoying the all inclusive facilities for 3 days?
Heading to Galway over the weekend for a stag - over 20 of us heading - so any advice of places to go???
