Ok Bryno. Your very concerned poor shakas might be alone next year so.......................

Try travelling with

http://www.paddywagontours.com/

Big Popular company with new air con coachs with anything from 8 seaters through to 56 seater coachs and travel to all the popular "touristy" places.

You will meet people on day one and make friends for life.

Alternatively you could check into hostels, I think you would quickly find sociable people. http://www.anoige.ie/ and http://www.hostelireland.com/ are a couple of possible starting places. Don't be put off by the 'youth' bit of youth hostels, all ages stay there.

i think bertie's suggestions are great...do wear more clothes than you have on it your picture or you will be awfully cold.....lol....

I dont know what your trying to say Oma.

At first I thought you were suggesting that they may be shag tours and you wear nothing at all, then I realised you must not be. Im sure your pure at heart.

Now I dont know what you mean.

Paddy Wagon Tours are basically coach tours for young people and not the typical old age pensioner tours that every other coach company preys upon.

'coach tours for young people and not the typical old age pensioner tours '

Bertie, if you cannot see what is wrong with this sentence, maybe you would be more comfortable posting to a 'young peoples' site.

As to Oma's comment, there was absolutely no need to take issue with it, it is perfectly obvious what she meant, it was a totally harmless, humourous remark referring to the Irish weather and shakas' avatar.

oh thank you doneraile, i was so confused...i read and reread my message and couldn't figure out why bertie was not understanding....i just agreed with his/her post....and i was trying to be funny, evidently i wasn't....hehehe.....

Jeez, I give up on this forum.

Thank you for your ageist reply. You can have your precious forum because obviously other people PERSONAL opinions are not in keeping with your infallable facts.

Bertie? Stop!
