Who's been there for travel? The ladyfriend says it's like an unspoilt Switzerland, and we have to go. I didn't know Switzerland was spoilt at all (but she's been there tons and maybe just tired of it) It looks lovely in photos - I just have no concept of what is there to be seen/done

@ann post Have you done much research on the feasibility of building a shipping container home down the country? I mean either as a standalone, or as an extension or an outbuilding on an existing property? Are they more trouble than they're worth? Another thing I'd love to know is how...

So it's been forever since I got tickets to a seated gig here The Ticketmaster system is not showing a seat number - safe to assume that this indicates they are obstructed views? Or do they just never show seat numbers? Because it's Ticketmaster, I am assuming the sneaky thing is true

What is the steepest hill in Dublin? Is there a hill you really hate cycling up? Or one that’s an utter slog just to walk up. I know we don’t have St. Patrick’s Hill like Cork, but what do we have? This is for a thing. Also, does Dublin have any significant run of public steps? Maybe not quite...

I'm about to buy this yoke I think it has everything I need. It does not have built-in Wi-fi though. Should that be as simple as sticking a wire in the back? I'm tempted to pay the extra to have installed, but I find that very emasculating My basic question is whether this model is...
