How up to date is this list? I've just printed the lot out for my son's girlfriend who's off to Dublin in the morning, along with all the other info on Dublin in the guide.
So if you see anyone wandering round with a wad of alabaster printouts, say Hi Nadine from me.

Well, I printed out all the entries on Dublin and Galway, which is where the girls are going, and then I think I missed them. Met them at the cinema last night and they said they were leaving at 10 this morning. But I think that was the time of the flight. So they had left home at just before 8 when I was there. Blow.
Never mind, I'll just take the whole folder and go to Dublin myself some time.
Anyway, as I say, if you see two German girls walking around Dublin this week, one a bit podgy and untidy (actually she's half French), one very petite and neat, that's them.

Thereby hangs a tale!!!
Unfortunately, despite rushing out to get the printout to them on time, I didn't make it, because they had told me they left at 10 am, but that was the flight time and not when they left home.
They had a wonderful time, but more through things going wrong! They went out to Galway and were trying to find a place (can't remember where) and were walking for miles and miles across open country. Everyone they met told them "it was just another mile", until a cyclist told them it was "Another nine miles" - they decided that the Irish have no sense of distance.
Places in Dublin? Hmm. Don't think so. They didn't go far from the Youth Hostel.!

I went to a great pub on Sunday night, talent scouting for a potential wedding band, but I had such a good time that I cannot remember the pub's name

Maybe Gnomon knows someone. He has a lot to do with music. As I understand it, in Ireland there is no dividing line between classical, folk and pop music - he is bound to know the right sort.
Our little choir often sings at Weddings. Some people take a lot of trouble over the Church ceremony (are you having one?) Others don't. It is really worth making the effort. If no one in either family is very church-going, it is best to leave it altogether. The last wedding we sung at was - for us, as a choir - really sloppily done. Obviously they had no idea what can be done or what ought to be done at a church wedding, and it was a very unmemorable affair.
If you're not having a church ceremony then OK. Or is it still law in Ireland that only a church wedding counts? Are you getting married in Ireland?
