Dublin
This week I went to Ireland for the first time, and it was quite a great experience. For one, I found a country more expensive than the UK. I mean, £4.20 a pint?! However, interesting place in so far as it’s not really all that different to here give or take the use of kilometres and the wonderful accents.
I was over there giving a talk for a conference (t44u) which I was rather flattered to be asked to speak at and that was a great event and really learnt some cool things and it was a very good experience, met lots of fellow users of the CMS and got to talk to lots of wonderful people.
On the Thursday night the drinking soon started (well, it was Ireland!) and I didn’t get back to the hotel room until 4am! I’m not sure how much I had drunk but it was certainly somewhere in the region of 6 pints and 4 double Baileys. Not exactly something to tell the grandchildren.
