  1. For everyone who's been to Ireland before. I want to spend a week travelling around the northern part of Ireland before I head to Dublin for the U2 gig on the 22nd.

    Basically I'm planning to arrive in Belfast or Donegal.

    I'm unsure about things to do in Belfast! I like history, nature, street art, and delicious food so any tips would be welcome.

    Maybe want do giant's causeway , but I really dread doing it in high season, and in large groups.. Any locals who know how to avoid that?

    Donegal is 100% sure , wanna rent a bike and spend a few days travelling west along the coast.
    And after Donegal I wanna head to Dublin by bus, but I only want to spend one night there since its so expensive.

    I've been to all of the U2 related places in Dublin. Visited Kiliney and Bray. But any suggestions on other wonderfull cities are welcome.

    Belfast is a beautiful city. Be sure to check out City Hall and Queens University, The Crown Bar, Cregagh Glen and Lisnabreeny.

    You should definitely check out Giant's Causeway, crowded or not, if you've never been. And just a few miles from there is Bushmills village where you can check out the distillery and have lunch at the Bushmills Inn. Dunluce Castle is also within a few miles of both and is great to check out.

    Heading to Dublin, depending on your route - from Donegal I would travel down west through the Gaeltecht to Spiddal/Galway then you can cut straight through the heart of the country from Galway to Dublin...

    If you're leaving from Belfast, I would definitely head to Dublin via the Antrim Coast Highway. Something beautiful around every turn!

    Hope that helps a little!

    Check out The Marble Arch Caves in Enniskillen...and a climb of Knocknarea in my birth county Sligo is worth it also.
  4. Sligo is beautiful, too!
  5. Thanks for these suggestions and tips <3 makes it a bit more insightfull for this gal.
  7. Just skimmed through some old ZooTV bootlegs looking at setlists from the first leg, and found a review I wrote like 8 years ago of the Auburn Hills, MI show (that has the famous "pizza for everyone!" encore) - I raved about the show so much in my own review, I had to re-download it just so I can listen at work tomorrow!
  8. If you thought the 9/11 truthers were the worst of the worst, meet the flat-Earth truthers. Yes, they honestly believe the Earth is flat and NASA is covering the truth. A professional basketball player believes that, and he earns way more money than the best scientists on (non-flat) Earth.
    ... and a fucked-up world it is too...

  11. I remember reading some article where the author claimed scientists couldn't be trusted because they were all being paid off by big pharma, big solar, big wind, etc. and here I am as a scientist wondering when I'm going to get all this money.
  12. Hi everyone,
    I just upgraded my account. I would like it if you take a moment to have a look.

    Sorry for my English. It's a bit like Louis van Gaal
