Ye shower of negative nannies..
We'll have a Craic come Hell or High water..
Accuweather once told me it was raining NOW
at my location... Couldn't be more wrong as I had the scope
pointed at some of the clearest skies that year..
So the best weather forecast is a window and look out.
Cheers Roy

Suntan lotion - check
Sun Glasses - check

Is AA Route Planner (Tralee and then anti-clockwise on the ring of Kerry to Ballinskelligs) more reliable than Google maps (Kenmare - Waterville - Ballinskelligs) for directions. It shows the Tralee route at least 40 min quicker?

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
