Another month, another trip. Human cloning - or specifically, organ cloning - gets my seal of approval after a week in the aul sod. Like a crisp-packet of depleted uranium trapped in an iceberg floating ominously towards the equator, the Grimes wedding was always going to be messy. Dawn two nights running was probably not a good idea, although i will admit the jetlag helped with managing it. Two days relaxing (drinking) in Belmullet after and a quiet night (drinking) in Dublin capped it all off nicely.

Travel tips # 149: Don't order spirits at the bar just as Spain score in a European Championship semi-final. We used to do pints of gin and tonic on paddy's day in college for the laugh, but this was a pint of gin with a bottle of tonic to swig out of alongside it.
Still, i have spied a new career path for me. I was in Paris in 2000, in Melbourne - the biggest Greek city outside of Greece - in 2004, and in Madrid in 2008. How much will the FAI pay me to be in Ireland in 2012? And if they won't, then feckit somebody else will.
