[rainbow]

I have just posted a thread under 'Entertainment' Places to Go, talking about my holiday in Cobh Ireland last year, as a newbie on this site I hope you enjoy my posting..I gave details also of a few sites you may enjoy, if you like me have Irish roots.......cheers, Rainbow

Rainbow you would be better off looking at Jarrow, they have a lot of Irish roots.

Hi Mr Angry... We have been to lots of Irish events throughout South Tyneside over the years, including Jarrow the people and music are always great .
Only one problem if you want a true glass of the Irish Amber Necta, you can only get the best in Ireland. Rainbow

Rainbow I have worked in both North and South Ireland.
The beer I drank was " miller genuine draught " on draught.
You can only get it in bottles here, it was superb

Message for Mr Angry You said you had worked in Ireland..did you get a chance to visit any touristy places at all ...or was it all work and no time off?........... Rainbow

Rainbow, I work at all the major airports and army bases in the North of Ireland. Am away midnight tonight for 5am ferry to Belfast to do a repair at Aldergrove Airport and hopefully back on 11.50am one so should make the Quiz in Crown and Anchor Sat. night. Will be over for a week in August staying at Dungannon to do inspections at helicopter bases at Omagh, Newry,Enniskillin, Bessinbrook and Limavady. Send me a private email if you ever fancy a trip across,am over at least once a month.

Great pics, Sless. Especially the one of the pint of Guinness I was never really a Guiness drinker until I went to Dublin with someone who was - and I got hooked! It's all I drink now. Apart from 'working' in Belfast, I've only been to Dublin and am looking at visiting Cork next.

I was just reading through some old threads and came across this post...And cant help wondering if para-wings ever did get to Cork?. Ireland has some brilliant places to visit...Kinsale, Clonakilty, Blarney, Cobh, Killarney, Tralee...If your ever over in Ireland take one of the City Bus Tours, around the area...it gives you the chance to find out the historic buildings and if your handy with your camera....get on the open top bus, for some great photos.
Last year we went on the Gap of Dunloe Tour...it was brilliant and the views of the Mountains and Lakes...breathtaking...on one part of the tour we were in a jaunting cart and wound our way through the mountain paths, I will sort some pics out and post in my album on site....If you found any special places while on holiday in Ireland, please do pass on the info...
What with ongoing health problems, I may not get over this year. aaahh!! ..cheers Rainbow

Gotta say, it's been some time since I was last on here! To answer your question Rainbow - no, I never did get to Cork. We gave in to the charm of Dublin again....and again...and again.....well, the pubs anyway, lol.
