By any chance did you happen to go to Verona while in Italy? Thats a beautiful city,like a mini Rome with a coliseum and all,Only had a day there but would definatly go back for a weekend,Probably had the nicest Lasagne i've ever had in a little resturant there,it would be worth going back just for the lasagne!

Best.

1. Port Douglas
2. Ballinskelligs
3. Paris
4. The Glens Pub Crawl Of Distinction
5. Chamonix

Worst

1. Agree with Bondi - awful let down.
2. Longford
3. Slaughneil
4. Larne
5. Birmingham

You've never been up the Carn then?? I do enjoy your hate for anything related to slaughtneil :-\

I'm assuming I haven't no, but I have no idea what being up the Carn means. I was in Slaughneil recently though for a funeral. The church was at Granahan.

I certainly don't hate everything related to Slaughneil, just have a mild dislike for young Billy. I work with one of your number - a former inter-county hurler.

And I would still put Slaughneil above Larne.

And I want to change Sugarloaf to Chamonix as well.

Liverpool (too many Scousers)

Why would anyone go to Liverpool and be disappointed to find the place filled with Scousers? What were you expecting, Mancs?
