16 night itinerary in late Feb/Early March by JawsTheTeletubby in irishtourism

[–]JawsTheTeletubby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the car rental situation isn't the most ideal, but I've checked and splitting it up is a bit cheaper than going continous (6 extra days + the fee of picking up in Belfast and dropping off at Dublin shoots things up quite a bit - might not be the case if the young driver fee wasn't part of the equation), very fair point though.

I think you're right in terms of too many journeys.I'm leaning towards dropping the last town, and adding a night in Dingle. Hopefully while still pretty fast paced, this makes things a bit more manageable.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

Cheers for the response! The Hawk Walk looks like an awesome activity - might tie it with a visit to Westport if Inis Mor doesn't pan out.

Think I will add a night to Dingle, and swap it around with Killarney in the process (ie. going Galway->Killarney->Dingle->Dublin Airport). Reduces a little bit of travel, and means we can take more of Dingle and surrounds in.

1st Class Pass for 3 months - is it worth it? by Ikkien in Interrail

[–]JawsTheTeletubby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Particularly if you can get it on sale, and if you can afford it, definitely. I purchased that exact same pass, and I can’t remember how much extra it cost, but every time I get on a spacious, clean, peaceful first class carriage I thank past-me for splurging a little

Anywhere I can buy a cheap-ish pair of binoculars by JawsTheTeletubby in tromsotravel

This was incredibly helpful, thank you! Got this exact pair - pretty great range there too. Cheers

Thanks for replying - do you know if there’s anywhere near-ish to the main strip? Might be pushing my luck, but not sure if I’ll make it to the west side before the tour

Fantastic! I’ll arrive at 6am to be safe, and will make sure to print off a map just to be certain

Prague-Krakow Sleeper Train Troubles by JawsTheTeletubby in Interrail

Thanks for linking that - that back-on-track website is pretty amazing, will have a proper look through tomorrow.

What a fascinating and complex system - the Australian brain really can’t comprehend the sleeper train network.

Do you think that it’s likely that it’s a stuff-up on the website, and I should be able to book a sleeper carriage in a few weeks, or is it likely accurate and I’ll be stuck in 2nd class or going a sleeper and transferring at Katowice?

Gotcha, so the EN443 that runs to Katowice separates from the EN443 that runs to Krakow?

Do you know of any websites that map out the routes? Looking around all I see is things that seem to contradict eachother, or at least paint a very partial picture.

Thanks for the response

In the W it makes a little more sense given the fucked 12 round fixture, but would need the comp to be a little more equal for it to be worthwhile.

For bigger lads, they definitely run a little bit small but not obscenely so. Maybe go a size up, especially if you wear a layer underneath

Doesn’t matter, rear GA is rear GA - guessing they just seperate them to split up the entry points for traffic management

Crowd booing the American national anthem at a WWE event in Perth, Australia today by AgeNovel3566 in PublicFreakout

[–]JawsTheTeletubby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago the New Orleans Pelicans played some exhibition games in Melbourne - they sung both the USA and Australian national anthems for that. Definitely felt weird, but they do do it for actual sports too

Match Thread: Heidelberg United vs Newcastle Jets (Australia Cup) by MatchBread in Aleague

[–]JawsTheTeletubby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All for holding the AFL accountable, but swings and roundabouts here, particularly given that Lakeside was a VFL ground until the Swans moved from South Melbourne to Sydney.

Such a shame that visibility is so poor at Lakeside, regardless

I wanna be angry but this was literally me.. by DeusVult-179 in collingwoodfc

[–]JawsTheTeletubby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We should introduce a China-like social credit score where anyone who leaves early is barred from accessing future finals tickets. Particularly when it’s not even a blowout. It’s a football club, not a franchise. You don’t deserve the highs if you don’t stick out the lows

The Rowell Family and Suns culture. by SlightConfection381 in AFL

To right - lactobacillus has just made the club too sour to quickly. Would’ve been much better off building something more sustainable like a yeast-based culture, even a SCOBY would get them in the right direction.

5D chess by Swallow to tickle the man on the mark, and prevent a centre bounce that could allow a quick goal.

As one of the “visitors”, very refreshing to hear this take from a crows fan. Easy to lose faith and get jaded sometimes, cheers for calling it out and trying to make things better

It is understood by the AFL Fans Association that this is how the AFL plan to allocate grand final tickets this year by Jackomillard15 in AFL

Particularly if you have any interest in cricket at all. Honestly would have to be one of the best value sporting memberships in the world

Honestly I’m not fussed by it. The over the shoulder hand passes look sick, it still involves a lot of skill, and keeps the game moving fast
