Ooops! I forgot about that whole IRA thing, duh. And I know the Trions wouldn’t do this, but don’t expect every local to know every little detail about the town & it’s history. And then when they don’t know, please do not give them a lecture about how they should learn more about their heritage. After all, how much do you know about your home town? Another thing (these are all more general, since I don’t know Dublin) is if you are walking down a main street during busy hours, i.e. when people are trying to get to and from work, for the love of God please walk single file! And I’m not asking you to jog, but please walk faster than 1 foot per minute. We have places to go! It’s really best to take a break from siteseeing during commuting hours. And, because I care about America’s image, I will refrain from saying “Punts Punts Punts”. Well, at least outloud I won’t. ---

I’m not really that worried **tater**. But if it turns out there’s something the residents of Dublin are sick to death of from the tourists, then I’d like to know about it. I don’t mind looking foolish and I _certainly_ don’t mind looking drunk. 😉 Still, if you wanna post your list, I’d probably get a chuckle out of it. Hey Bear, how goes the drive? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ruadh \* > Starting up conversations with strangers about the IRA is also generally not a good way to endear yourself. I do this all the time , usually taxi drivers 😉 You’ve all got nothing to worry about . Just don’t do anything I ask you to do after I’m drunk 😉 So **Bear** you got enough yet to make the Atlantic ? p.s. **Diane** I’ll see you in April 🙂 ---

The rest of you… c’mon! Stop slacking. Just put a dollar in the envelope and mail it. It will take two seconds. This is for a great cause! Follow **Green Bean’s** wonderful example and mail those bills. BTW, just like Stephen King lets you send in more than a dollar to cover for the slackers, you too are allowed to send more than one buck. Thanks Dopers!! At this rate I will be in Europe by 2009. But I will have a blast when I get there. ---
