        For my stag we hired two boats and sailed up the shannon. great weekend.

        When I was groomsman for a buddy, I was tasked with the Stag as the brother wasn't really up to it. Ended up doing Vegas for a week. height of the boom of course. I had a great time - don't care if anyone else did.......

          Can you share more info on this if you have a minute? Looking into it at the moment with the lads for a stag next spring. Best route etc? Is it worth doing for just 2 nights? Cheers

            That's absolutely sensational from Ronnie. Some of the best snooker I've watched this year. He was in rare form and is just fantastic to watch like that.

              It was in 2005 in fairness so details are a bit sketchy.

              We Used this crowd: https://www.emeraldstar.ie/boating-h...annon-and-erne

              Friday evening to Sunday morning. Did end up in carrick on shannon, I think then we turned around and went back.

Her port was submitted incorrectly and we couldn't find out what was wrong. Possibly her details or possibly something on GoMo side. Either way having worked in the industry I know it takes a 10 minute call or one email to re-schedule a new port. This happens every day of the week and is an easy fix. Not two weeks of nonsense where no one takes ownership of the issue on GoMo's side - web chat, contact form, twitter tried 'em all with nothing being done to re-schedule the port.

                  So I tweeted them a while back with a thread about this and posted a follow up a week later when nothing was done by GoMo. The gist of which was telling people to record their correspondence and send a complaint to ComReg. I tagged ComReg, GoMo and a couple of prominent journalists as its happening to a lot of people now. This was close 11pm at night. Mysteriously she got a twitter dm 10 mins later to assist but at this point she decided to cancel and seek a refund. Hopefully that proves easier than everything thus far.

                  Maybe in time they'll get their house in order but for now steer well clear.

                      Saving me a fortune with Mia so I'm happy enough. Think prob best for teenagers just in case anything goes wrong. I have my mobile number 20 odd yrs would hate to lose it but for the likes of teenagers if all goes well it's a no brainer for me

                        GoMos adverts alone would be enough to convince me its going to be a shambles.
                        Like above, having worked in the industry you can see a department heads ego wank all over this.

From there head downstream to Terryglass and do a night there. Stop in Portumna if you fancy, go upstream to Lukers in Shannonbridge if you fancy.

                            Avoid Athlone and Limerick due to them being kips and avoiding crossing the lake. Also avoid Carrick for obvious reasons.

                            Happy to give you more info as required.

                              Best stag experience was in Lahinch. Next best was Kilkenny.

                              Best abroad one was Malaga.

                              Avoid shit holes like Manchester, Liverpool or Newcastle imo.

                                  The start of your post and the finish of it could easily be swapped around in my experience .

                                  Suppose it depends on the crowd ye have with you then anywhere is cool. Always do something in the afternoon on one of the days at least.

                                        God that brings me back GAB, to the early 80s. Myself and a mate used to rent cruisers from Silverline (Brendan ?, can't remember). Did all the places you mention, except for the one in Shannonbridge, didn't actually think Shannonbridge had anything in it other than the couple of berthing spots, but as I say that was a loooooong time ago. Magnificent way to pull the wimmins, no effort required at all, they all want a ride in a boat . Crossed the lake a few times (Lough Derg). Can be very dodgy if the weather turns bad and you are kinda novice. Very long story which I won't bore everyone with here, we got out to the muddle of the lake, storm blew up, mist came down, lost sight of the marker buoys - the only time in my life I genuinely thought I might die. But overall a magnificent experience, try not to be pissed when actually driving/berthing the boat!

                                                I'll throw Barcelona into the mix.
                                                Had mine there although some of the memories are a little hazy,
                                                partly because of substance advise,
                                                partly to protect the guilty.

                                                Also Amsterdam might sound like a cliche but the place was was basically designed for exactly this kind of endeavour.

                                                Stags succeed because of the crew as much as the location.
                                                Keep an eye on which married lads are invited as they're out of practice and sometimes "over perform".

                                                Keeping the cost low is probably the biggest factor tbh. Make sure everyone you want there can participate with the minimum of financial pressure.

                                                      Surely the group is the main thing, once it's not a grim spot,and the licencing laws are loose, location is largely irrelevant.

                                                            I did. The end result is perfect. The treatment at the time was troubled but I was deffo an outlier, I had to get it done a second time on one of my eyes.

                                                            The best I can tell you about laser eye treatment comes from a Doctor who plays poker in town. He was telling me how he was on holidays in Morocco and spotted a place that was doing walk in laser eye surgery so he decided to go in and get it done. I was shocked, suggested he might have went to Mater Private or Blackrock Clinic. He laughed at me and told me you were only paying for peace of mind. He said the machines are essentially self driving now and it is all but impossible not to have a good job done regardless of where you get it done. If you go to the Mater you are paying 2k to have somebody hold your hand.



                                                            Brendan Smyth, he is still going strong.
                                                            I was at the table when that story was being told. My memory was he broke his glasses on the holiday and instead of getting new glasses which would take a few days to get made up he opted for the laser eye surgery in the back room. ‘Twas a funny story regardless. How long ago was that? I’m getting old.

                                                            The one thing I remember from getting my eyes lasered was the smell of my own eyeball cooking for a minute. A surreal moment.

                                                            My result was very good but I had to use drops for about a year afterwards and suffer from glare at night (but this was expected due to the shape of my eyeball).

                                                            My eyesight has regressed now ~11 years later (mainly due to too much screen time imo) so I’m planning a trip to the optician soon enough to see what my options are.

                                                                Went to Bristol for mine.

I try to get them away from Upwork as soon as possible though and do things through our own channels. For initial outreach there's quite a lot of talent in the pool. You need to sift through a ton of BS and chancers though.

I never noticed a smell from the laser but the stuff getting burned and the laser eye surgery was no different from shit getting burned in the lab from my memory of it. Anyway they give you some gas to take the edge off it!

Connacht pack looks very lightweight facing a huge pack and Cruden and the giant Fiji winger Nandolo. Could be a massacre seemed to pick up lots of injuries tonight as well.

He ported his wife and kid's phones over no issue. He's happy with service etc. Twitter and boards.ie have plenty of bad reports about porting amongst other issues. If you've managed to get ported you'll probably be fine and €9.99/m is a super price. If not, get the rosary beads out.

                                                                                                                      Truth! Eir's products typically end up working in an acceptable manner but if you have problems, the very best of luck to you. They're an incredibly incompetent company. Layers upon layers of teams not communicating, outsourcing, billing errors etc - you can take your pick.

                                                                                                                      They won a fibre tender for my employer. In the end it took 6 weeks and 4 separate engineers/calls to push a cable 400m down a quiet road and terminate in the building. A motley crew of KN (ex eir techs now), independent (ex eir, vodafone etc) and eir engineers were required. Half the time engineers just appeared from thin air unscheduled. That said the engineers themselves were genuinely helpful and got their tasks done promptly when they did visit.

                                                                                                                      There is an exception in that Eir's enterprise data centre, NOC and network infrastructure teams are spot on. They know what they're doing and are very helpful from the few dealings I've had with them.

Opened it and went through 5 pages of bollocks to see at the end they want 20c off me for underpaid taxes for 2018
