"I'm back..."

Yep, got back from my mate's wedding in Dublin. Well, it was near Dublin. Wicklow Bay to be exact.

I have never drunk so much Guiness in my life and it's true - it does taste different in London. Of course, by different, I mean better.

If I can be bothered, I might post some pictures up at some point later this week. This was drunken debauchery on a frightening scale. Even the Irish were shocked at our wanton madness which is no small feat.

I had a great time up there and even went for a dip in the sea. Later on down the pub I was speaking to the bride's cousin and he told me I was dicing with death as there are a fair number of basket sharks around the area. I don't know if he was kidding or not but that shocked me a bit. Not as much as it shocked my mate (the groom) who instigated the random jump into the sea.

Ireland is definitely recommended.

By we do you mean you and your mum?

Heh sounds like a laugh mate.

We be thrown out of the pub for being too rowdy but thats about it!

Ahh...suddenly everything is clear. I had drunk about 8-9 pints when he told me that.

Basket sharks? I think he may have meant Basking Sharks which feed on plankton, not drunken revellers. It sounds like you had a fair old craic.

You should have seen us. It was a bunch of about 20 of us. The reception ended in anarchy when we decided to go clubbing afterwards and we more or less took over the local nightclub. Who are all these strange shotuing English idiots in suits?

That'll be us.

I find it hard to beleive that you out-rowdinessed (I make up words sometimes) the Irish people though, they're a crazy bunch.

At least you're honest.

I rarely post on weekends anyway. I was gone from last Wednesday until today.

If I said I'd noticed you'd gone I'd be lying so I'll just say welcome back and I'm glad you had such a great time.

You've done us all proud. I don't like Guiness though, tastes like stodgy licourice.

I meant to say Guiness tastes better in Ireland. Obviously I'm still drunk.
