We fitted a brand new toilet seat today, to replace the rather wimpy affairs that come as standard. What an exciting life this is, eh? Off to a family party shortly, then we have guests later on. Watch out Monasterevin!
We were in the Porterhouse the other evening with some friends, in the spirit of the season. Some people had spirits, the others had beers and ciders. Some yummy beer was had, I started with a 14% lager called samichlaus beer. Austrian Santa Claus beer, which is brewed but once a year and aged for 10 months. Serious stuff, and one bottle is more than enough.
Also had some Hoegaarden, which is nice. They put lemon in it, so must remember that for future weisbeer (sorry, not sure about the fancy german B-s) consumption. Nice burgers too. A good place to meet up. Got the bus home to Kildare then a taxi. Bit of a pain in the behind, but then we did get a lift up which helped.
Actually, while there are regular buses to and from the big smoke, you are getting on the Limerick service, and the last one leaves at 20:00. What that means, is that another ticket is required to get onto the Kildare service. While that makes sense in somebody's head, it meant we couldn't get a return ticket on the bus up and use it on the way back, on a shorter journey? Thanks to Bus Eireann for that one.

Sounds like a great place for a meetup. Glad you enjoyed all those beers.I think you should forward your thoughts on bus eireann tickets to Barry Kenny, he should be able to throw some light on the reasoning behind this. Sitting on your behind on the new toilet seat would not be pro-active for this problem!! unless you have a laptop.
