On the plane one, I was startled by how little I could actually see out of the windscreen as the dash was quite high. It was a pretty old plane, but no problems. I definitely did far more of the steering on that one, but obviously only the basic steering bits. I definitely enjoyed it, but given the time and effort involved, I'm unlikely to be taking on more lessons any time soon. Delighted to have done it though, and the blue skies as well helped.

I'm looking to book to book an all inclusive holiday, 5 star somewhere in Europe, most likely Greece or somewhere similar
Is there a website that allows you put in the dates and where you depart from but don't have to put in a destination and it will bring up all available packages on offer (including flights / transfers / hotels)?

I'm just wondering if there is another way to add pictures/posters to threads on here -I have tried to seek the answer in the FAQ's but am none the wiser really.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

So this happened ..which seems ludicrous and crazy
then this happened
And this has been happening https://www.theguardian.com/politics...nt-open-border
SO there has been a bit of this
So basically our govt suggested our new border with the uk be in the Irish sea. And the Unionists understandably were offended and went off on one, this is how politics is done now everyone just tries to out dick each other.
They should just agreed to the surveillance border and allowed smugglers to have their day ...who cares anyway at this stage...the world is mental we can handle some smuggling..
Also I have heard from the White House communications director that men in the GOP suck their own cocks. Or at least Bannon does.Last edited by Guest; 28-07-17, 08:43.

It remains very unlikely that there can be no physical border between Ireland and nonEU UK - for much the same core reason that there's a big border between Poland and Belarus/Ukraine, between Finland and Russia and between Greece and Albania/Turkey. The idea that the western side of the EU can be different seems based on at best 'ah we're Irish and a bit of craic' and at worst some sort of racist 'we're better than those east European savages'.
So really it comes down to where the border will be located. Best for us down here would be the sea border concept but that's a red flag issue for the NI majority, so some sort of land border it will be.

The Netherlands has also said Dutch citizens living in the UK seeking to circumvent the UK's leaving the EU by taking out UK citizenship would not get dual citizenship and have to give up their dutch passport. https://www.google.ie/search?q=Brexi...KsjUwQKV4r6QBw
We are negotiating as group....i would say there is a lot going on the background...

2. piratebay equivalent search engine: nzbgeek.info (paid for a years access at $12, but not necessary)
3. usenet server that hosts the files you download: newsdemon.com (paid for a years unlimited downloads for €85)
Working like a charm! Noticed there's far more access to older shows. E.g. loads of availability of my long-sought Survivor Season 13!

That'll be a huge bump in high-spending tourists, as at the moment no sane Chinese person is getting a separate (extremely cumbersome) visa just to visit a remote rock when doing their european tour on a shengen, but could easily be persuaded to add a few days of Ireland to their shengen-incorporated euro itinerary. We only stayed out of it in the first place as the UK refused to join and we couldn't join without them and still keep the common trade area.
It's looking increasingly like Irish people continuing to have a special deal to work in UK without hassle might have to be ditched. No matter the NI circumstances. Thats going to be the biggest impact. The only realistic long-term solution is to make german / spanish / french a big focus of the school system, so we can consider working in those countries if need be. Ideally by ditching Irish and religion so there's space in primary school to teach these languages, as starting them at the age of 11 is doomed to failure. And there's minimal chance that just speaking English will be enough with these changes.
Essentially we've coasted along taking the trade benefits of EU but without really committing to the idea of being europeans. Now that UK is comprehensively out of the picture, I'm not sure we have that luxury anymore.

Nice big kids playroom beside a nice area with couches for reading and drinking wine.
Plenty of day trips to do and access to pool in the town.
Think it's just over €100 a night.
Also looks like being sunny till Wednesday
We didn't get good weather, but on the day we did we went to some castle/country house nearby and the kids enjoyed it.

Goodluck Dom & MrsDom, just be prepared for the day 3 blues. She will hit rock bottom on that day as the hormones plummet and nothing you will do or say will help! just make sure you don't chose that day to go and wet the babies head
Hope the delivery goes smoothly, it is an amazing thing to see and nothing will EVER prepare you for how you feel about this little tiny crying creature that just came into your life and you will do anything for it!
And oh.. a picture would be nice (I know... wimminz)
If you any good at cooking, make a few things now that you can freeze, will be appreciated after she gets back from the hospital and so will you.

Way ahead of you on the food lark, about 40 dinner portions frozen for weeks now.
I'll see what I can do about a pic.

Goes without saying, best of luck. You will make a prat of yourself in the delivery room, I think I told her she'd be the first Irish woman in space a few times.

Disagree with everyone. Gets progressively easier. Irrational screaming slug that sleeps 3 hours and wakes for 1 is hell. The more they can communicate the easier it gets imo.
My two entered the world via a 46 hour labour where the mrs needed two blood transfusions and an emergency section, respectively, so my feelings were less of unconditional love and more of 'thanks for nearly killing my mrs you little shit'.
