Ships that are tall

[Hardy]

Can someone report back on how lanky the ships are?

I think this is a good festival, does no harm to have some positive press about the place.  Will be some sight in the Lough the next few days.

Few lanky ones alright, but at the minute the majority of the boats are pretty small

About 7 or 8 big hoors in so far

Was going to head up today, but too tired.
Might head the mora. It's more for the surrounding festival to be honest.

[ONeill]

I'm being forced to go today.

Thre press saturation is working well then beacuse I have been speaking to three different people this morning who are going up too.  The only reason I am not going up is becase I know I would be forced to go to Ik*a again.

Were they ever in Dublin? I seem to have some sort of vague memory of seeing these ships before.

I'm sure it's a grand wee day out for the family, but it was overkill on the telly. Live satellite link up to the Europa, which rarely worked.  

OTT on Radio Ulster these days as well. Wendy Austin getting very excited!!

That would be tasty

Be careful if you are taking public transport!  Obviously going to be loads of people going.
