Memo to self. Next time you fancy a weekend away, ask P&B first.
 
Hairy Lemon is a great pub, good few just of Grafton Street and up towards St Stephens Green defo worth a look. Walk very quickly through Temple Bar just to see it, might be lucky at this time of year and it wone be full of arse hole stags and hens.

I can mind being accosted by a yank in Inverness High St a few years ago.

Conversation went something like :

Him : "Say Buddy, where's the American Express office in town?

Me : " Err, I don't think there is one here in Inverness"

Him :  "There must be an American Express Office - there's one in every town"

Me : "Not here there isn't, this isn't America"

Him :  "American Express is all over the world - forget it I'll ask someone else"

 

I often wonder how is search panned out.

I was stopped on Castle Road by an American woman who demanded me to direct her to the castle. Despite me pointing at the big castle-shaped building on the hill above her she wouldn't accept that it was indeed, the castle. She then pointed at a rabbit on the hill and asked me if it was a rabbit.

To be honest, I think I was being whooshed.

Anyway, my turn. Am I correct in saying the Aberdeen bypass is now open such that I can use it from Stonhaven to get to the airport?

 

Can’t be arsed reading through to see if this was answered, but yes. Been open since my last trip home just before Christmas.

 

Also, with regards to Ireland - Galway >>>> Dublin.

 

Belfast is an abomination of a city, complete shithole.

Yeah I used it. Tgink it saves a decent bit of time. Think I seen someone else post about this, or else it was on another road, but the signage had me seething. When I joined it, its 15 miles to the airport. Drove for about 10 mins at 70, then come to a sign that says Airport 11.

Seething. I mean I failed higher physics, but I am just not having that.

Does anybody know anything about Efflorescence? We've always had white marks on a few bricks in an internal red brick wall but they've they have become more widespread. Googling suggests it's not a massive problem but I'm not even sure who to get to check it out.

I had that at the Mull of Kintyre, reached a junction with a sign saying Campbeltown 8 miles pointing left and Cambelltown 3 miles pointing right.

So turned right and ended up on a nightmare of a single track, cliff top, roller coaster road,

30 minutes later I was still on it, finally got to Campbeltown and mentioned the sign to the barman and he just laughed and said the 3 miles is actually 13 but the local kids keep covering up the 1 for a laugh.

Just do what I done. When I was selling my old house, I spent a couple of minutes just before viewing time scrubbing it off with a hard brush. House sold no probs. Oh dear, never noticed that before when I owned the house!

Saved me about 20 minutes travelling up at night, at least half an hour when travelling home around lunch time.  I noticed the signs heading towards the airport were a bit dodgy but at least the road's finally open. Sitting stuck in traffic on North Anderson Drive when I just want home is soul destroying.

Any suggestion, I could do (not pornographic/illegal) to leave them a nice surprise? 

Shite on the keyboard then close it.

Did that about 5 month ago, see the the result below. (obviously big corporation heard about my story and used actors)
