pure luxury
at least you have pipes.
we have to walk 3 miles and bring back buckets of water from a near frozen stream, when we get home they have allready turned to ice. we have no shower facilities so we have to stand outside the back door naked and then just dump the lumps of frozen water out of the bucket over our heads.

buckets???!!!
We wish we were so lucky
We had to walk to collect lumps of ice that collected in the gutters that were six miles away
with one shoe between 8 of us. we'd bring them home in our mouths our parents would melt the ice by lashing us about the face with a wet hurl.
we'd spit the melted water over each of us to get a wash and go straight to the fields to dig for rocks.

We are lucky we got a house beside a stream. We just toss the kids in there for a wash. All very poor here in this part if culchie land and our heat comes from a candle. We all sit round it for a heat, when if gets really cold Tony lights it

Going home to my parents for xmas!! I grew up in Donegal, only moved to Dublin since college. Nice to be back home, don't get to go down much. Nice bit of snow up here too, not as bad as it was in Dublin though.

Mulhuddart D15, end-of-terrace house where the snow drifts. And it doesn't seem to have stopped snowing all day.
Sociopathic neighbours who seem to think that when they shovel the snow from underneath their cars that the best place to leave it is at my front door.

Scientifically impossible to prove, but I think may have more snow than anyone else in Dublin.

[digiman]

How much snow is there now AJ? There was about 6-7 inches at 1pm when I left today but I heard that its being going for most of the day

[Denny Crane]

feeling pretty silly for forgetting to take the 4/1 that was on offer for a white christmas.

It was fairly consistently up to just below my knee on the walk from the bus to my house - seems to have been slow and steady all day since I left this morning. Roads don't seem too bad in fairness,cars and buses still getting through.

[ArmaniJeans]

Got through Christmas party without getting cautioned by police (once), into a fight with with co-workers (a few times), thrown out of pub by bouncers (many many times) or spending bulk of night fast asleep in corner (usual result).

It helped that because of the weather we finished early I suppose.

Total culchie me, I do like Dublin though!! Only place I would get a job so not much choice!!

Glad I left when I did then so, was going to work today but said fuck it, would get home a bit earlier instead. In fairness roads were in decent enough shape to Donegal via Sligo. Just everyone was driving very very slow and nobody could pass out so you can only go as fast as the car infront of you!! Most frustrating journey ever I think

[ArmaniJeans]

Someone on the weather forum is running with the 'Gulf Stream destroyed by BP oil spill' CT I alluded to the other day. I like.

We'll be swinging by Monaghon direction on the way to Dublin alright and we always stop midway to grab a cuppa. No bother swinging by yours if you want but we'll have 3 kids in tow to deal with! We'll hope to be leaving Letterkenny before 10.30am or so. If you're gonna be in, let me know and i'll grab an address and we'll drop by

[dannydiamond]

Get the BBQs out , was watching the Forcast on RTE earlier, Monday's gonna hit a scorching 8 degrees.

Any of you west Waterford/east Cork lads can tell me where the snow kicks in?

I'm hoping to make the trek to north Cork with the family tomorrow, it's pretty bad up there but i've been advised that it's just about manageable.

[KevIRL]

A story from the weather forum on Boards. What a nightmare

Another front line story, I don't think people realise how ridiculous it was out there tonight.

I was meant to be flying out with ryanair at 4.10, after 5 gate changes and 3 different projected delays we were herded onto a plane at 5pm, it actually hurt to walk in the conditions outside at this point.
The plane did not move, it was not de-iced. We were told to get back off at approx 19.45, we were told nothing other than that the airport was closing.

When we got inside we found that every bloody ryanair flight that was due to leave in the hour or so we were had gone through the exact same thing, and every single passenger had been sent back into the airport at exactly the same time. The gangway was pretty much as crowded as a mosh pit. DAA were penning us in from the front, letting everyone out about 20 at a time - every time they let people through the crowd surged forward in anticipation, as crowds do, and slowly everything got a little more claustrophobic. Passport control was the same, finally the guards injected a little common sense and managed to clear it, opening service corridors to us.

The scene at the front of the airport was quite interesting I must say, firstly Ryanair had suddenly seen fit to shut up shop and leave. Airlingus, who had treated their passengers pretty fairly in not sitting them on a runway for the craic, had staff out helping DAA with information and crowd control - they were very proactive in making sure people got accommodation and even gave out meal vouchers to their customers. There was not a single Ryanair employee in the building.
DAA had been given the line "Ryanair customer service is now closed, please go online to rebook your flight", something which was, at the time, impossible - and entirely because of Ryanair.

As far as I can see Ryanair and DAA managed that situation absolutely appallingly, and that twat O'Leary should shut up before people start pointing out exactly what Ryanair were up to.

Cheers Tony, supposed to be all good again next week alright, it's the road conditions tommorow i'm worried about!

I have detailed road condition reports from mates on the phone this evening, from Mallow to Newmarket, I keep getting told "you should be ok", athough a mate asked me tonight if "I was off my fkin head" lol, not too encouraging.

It's Youghal to Mallow i'm worried about, can anyone confirm the rumour that the Cork/Mallow road is in bits?

I've no idea, haven't played live in Waterford for months.
I'd hazard a guess that there is no end of month game after them just opening and all.

[tipp86]

Im planning on travelling in the states in Feb for 20 days. I just found an amazing deal.

Buffalo-LA spend a week there, LA-Vegas 3/4 days there, Vegas-NY 7 days there. The flights total comes to $350 which seems like the bargain of the century.

[dannydiamond]

I think there's only one scheduled cash game a week now, Wed night, min 250 buyin. All tournies off afaik.

It's certainly gone for tournaments as the tournament league has been transferred & continued in Darren's new club The Poker Lounge which is attracting huge numbers for tournaments & has had a cash table every night since opening (two tables some nights) on Sunday 12th Dec.
