Ciao,

 

Been away for awhile so my apologies for the late reply.

 

Yup, I'm still in despite not having booked neither room nor ferry yet.

Anyone who wants to share a room with a farting Dane?

 

I'll call Will in the weekend.

 

Salute from Danimarca

Søren

 

PS: And thanks to BFG for all his efforts arranging this meeting. I know what it takes so your efforts - including sending me a wake up call - is highly appreciated

Is there a fine and accurate site on the web to look the forecast weather in Ireland?

 

Hi Antonio,

 

I think if you speak to BFG there is never an accurate weather forecast for Northern Ireland (Although rain on any given day....?)

 

Try the met office

I think that it is too far ahead to get an accurate forecast.

 

In general, the weather in May has been been good: as good as or better than the summer months.

:sun:

:rolleyes:B)

okay, thanx for the tempestive answer, next one:

The Euro is available in all Ireland? North and the rest?

Only the South of Ireland.

 

To look on the bright side, you will get better value for your Euros now.

 

 

:2c:

:rolleyes:B)

 

Next question?

Good grief Antonio, look what you made me go and find!

 

Not only have I chosen, for you, the sunniest month but also the sunniest part of Northern Ireland for the meeting.

 

Hurry up and book this fantastic opportunity.

 

Sunshine See Wikipedia

The east of Northern Ireland, which is sheltered from Atlantic frontal systems, is sunnier than the west. The sunniest region, the Ards Peninsula, receives up to 1,500 hours of sunshine every year. Further west, the hours of sunshine decreases, and the forested mountainous north-west receives on average under 1,100 hours of sunshine. The average recording of sunshine for the whole country is 1219.7 hours. December is the dullest month with 31.8 hours sunshine, which equates to just over one hour per day. May is the sunniest month and receives 175.9 hours of sunshine—this is because of its long days and fine weather.
