Right, that's me moved in, and made myself at home. I quite like it over here...
Anyone up for Dublin. Looked at Ryan Air and can get flights for as little as £37. I'll be flying from Stanstead on either Saturday or Sunday morning and will return Tuesday morning. Anyone be joining me for some carbo loading at the Stanstead Brasserie?

Very much hope to be able to catch up with as many of you as possible over the weekend. The people who I'll be with haven't got a marathon on Monday and will be getting happily drunk while I sip mineral water :-( so it would be good to meet some runners in same boat as me!!!
Mind you Snicks, large quantities of alcohol is a vital part of your preparation isn't it?! ;-)
I'm making my way over on Sunday morning from Stansted and coming back Monday evening, with a small support team in tow!
I'll be proudly supporting my new vest and hope to meet up with some of you, as yet I have bottled out of approaching any fellow forumites.
I got my air fare through Ryan air but ended up paying £50 after all the taxes were added.
I'm flying out Saturday morning from Stanstead (around 11'ish).
So it's a pasta party at Garfunkels then?
Better get your order in now, as they're a bit slow.
What is that picture Jason - is it a Sumo wrestler?
On the other hand you're probably too young!
If you don't put up a piccy soon, I'll have to revert to 'Snicks in a cap'!! ;-)
I thought it would be easier on the eye than one of me in my running gear.
I'd of thought you were too young to remember them Ratbag :-)
Actually, I'm probably older than I look..
Don't mean to butt in - but I take it you're all talking about Dublin Marathon in October? I'm in the race, but am having trouble finding reasonably priced (up to £30 per night) accommodation in town. Any suggestions where to try? Or am I dreamin' at that rate?
Had a quick look at Ryanair.com for Luton to Dublin and it has come up with the following...
OUT (from London Luton to Dublin)
Sat 07:00 £24-99
10:00 £29-99
Sun 10:00 £19-99
IN (from Dublin to London Luton)
Tue 08:30 £19-99
11:30 £19:99
I reckon we should all sort out a URWFRC pasta party for either Saturday or Sunday night? What does anyone reckon?
Like a small child! (Now that was a vague answer?)
AVALON HOUSE AUNGIER ST. HAS CHEAP CLEAN ROOMS. SINGLES,TWINS,DORMS.FROM £12- £30
AND IS 5 MINUTES WALK FROM THE START.
Great info - I shall get booked up!
My potential entourage will be pleased for some cheap accommodation too!
Thanks!
