re: I need advice from the soccer board for my trip to the UK this spring

I probably need much space to explain myself. Dublin is a fantastic city, and full of charm. Business wise, I dealt with lawyers and high powered accountants, it was very, very straight to the point, and hard edged, like New York.

I did deal with others, but being creative people, that was to be expected (seeing all there is to be seen, ambience, etc.).

One of my best friends in Spain is a Dubliner, and can corroborate.

There´s no ´mince around´, like in Galway or Cork, for example.

ETA Cool story, I did spend an evening driving around and hitting the cool clubs with the manager of that major Irish boy band (their name escapes me now, it´s been years), and while long haired and trying to be amiable, he was all about the pasta. The whole time.
