I heard last night there are only 1 round of games left in Division 4 is this right???

that is correct, but technically the league should be over, the round on Friday is the round that was put off in April due to Down being in the league final!!

i also think that the price of tobacco products are a big influence in how many people smoke in ireland, and on the continent.
considering it would cost you at least £5 for a pack of 20 here, yet it is only about €3 in Germany for the same.

bit of both have 3 days

well i can give you a couple of things to see but what do you prefer to do when on holiday, do you want to just take it easy or do you want to do some touristy (spl) stuff?

Touristy in day take it easy at night as i do with most cities

not in Munich during the Oktoberfest!!  :P

but if you do want a few things to do, go to the Oktoberfest site during the day and use some of the fairground rides and things.
also, if you are looking a relaxing day, just wander round the pedestrian area, Marienplatz to Karlsplatz, as well as the Hofgarten and the Englisher Gartens, some beautiful buildings and a very large green area.

if you are looking to do some sightseeing, go to Schloss Nymphenburg and Olympia Park. make sure you go up the tower in the park for some great fews of the city, and if the weather is clear enough, you might even see The Alps when you are up there.
you could even go to the BMW museum to see some classic and F1 cars.
if you want a day trip out of the city, take in the Dachau prison camp just to see it for what it was.

I feel the gaaboard's first love story is about to begin soon... ;) Though disappointed in you stpauls, you're about to become a father! :P

it wouldn't last ziggy, he is a Down man, which is a hell of a lot worse than being married to a Tyrone woman!!  :P

Bruges is a tourist trap. Antwerp is miles better for the batter.

Never been to Bruges, but Antwerp is a lovely city. There is a lovely big square with a market on it. Some nice beers there.

Germany has the nicest beers I've tasted to date.

Had some Italian beer in London over the weekend, it was lovely too.

Used to be a wile Bud drinker, but I'm finding it terribly gassy now, so I'm on the hunt for a new beer.

Do yourself a favour....3 bottles for a fiver in Curleys...beautiful stuff..



a man after mt own heart, thought The Vineyard on the Ormeau Road does them at 4 for £6!
