So you've been to Ballymena? Most people can't pronounce it, never mind having heard of it :) Where did you stay, did you go anywhere nice?

PS - all now "No Smoking" in Northern and Southern Ireland of course.



Hi skigirl,

I didnt get chance to see the sites as such,I was delivering a waggon load of copper cylinders to a plumbers merchants :oops: what i remember though it was a lovely place.Quiet the opposite from what we were led to belive about Ireland.As you can imagine it was a while ago when times were difficult.We keep thinking about going back with our caravan.

Stick a bulldozer blade on the front and I reckon an Impreza would be a serious pistey-basher... although it will still take a good driver to do a 360 on the spot like a proper basher can.

Anyone driven a piste-basher?



No Dave but Mr AJ would love to,Hes obviously not content with the 48 ton he drives for a living.As for my 8 year old hes mad about snow mobiles and wants one,But they are as much use as a chocolate fireguard in yorkshire :mrgreen:

Ballymena in Co Antrim, about 30 miles from the coast, 25 from Belfast. Glad you enjoyed visiting here - you got to see a lot. Yes, the North Antrim coastline and glens are very beautiful. If you visit again, other places that spring to mind that are probably worth a visit are are Dunluce Castle in Portrush, Mourne Mountains in Co Down, around Strangford Lough, Lough Neagh and Shane's Castle grounds, Slemish mountain near Broughshane in Co Antrim, Marble Arch caves, Co Fermanagh lakes ... I could go on! 8)




Ballymena a lovely place,Rolling hills and beautiful countryside its a few years since i was their.

You'll love this....

Recently a law in Nova Scotia came into effect which makes smoking in your car (if anyone under 18 years of age is present) illegal. Now, I've never smoked in my life and throughly dislike the smell but I disagree with that law. There are too many laws out there. Another town here wants to ban smoking on their sidewalks and parks. Taking it too far...

In a ski related manner ... smoking is banned on the chairlift where I ski mostly ... but you see people smoking anyway. If no wind, your chair passes through the same smoke! :cry:

Mike



I know what you mean Mike,If people just had consideration for others laws like the one you mention wouldnt have to be made.
It beggers belief though at the number of people who smoke with kids in the car,As the saying goes ignorance is bliss.

Now theres a thought, I know its a bit cheeky but you could go to your local ski shop and get fitted for a pair of boots ( just to find out your size )and then ask (as Trencher said ) if they have a demo pair you could give a try. If they are desperate for a sale they might just oblige if the prices are as expensive as you say.Or barter with them to get some cash knocked off.Good luck.
