Still no job or flat news, except that all our initial options have fallen through. After 3 days looking we are both now convinced we can't get a job! ;-) We have even started looking into options of temping or even getting a testing job!

To take our minds off the real things in life we did the tourist thing yesterday taking the Dubin tour hop on/off bus thingo. We got off at St Patricks cathedral where we were treated to a rehearsal of a choral group.

Then we went to the Guiness Factory...a 7 story homage to the black fluid. They have just finished a new "Powerhouse Museum" style building with everything about the company and the drink from making to transportation and the advertising campaign. On one of the floors was a display of how Guiness is made and at the end you turn a corner into a dark room with alien style lights illuminating a giant pint of guiness...a guiness shrine if you like...very amuzing. The advertisments were cool too, they had every TV advert from the 50's till today. And at the end, the best bit, a pint of guiness direct from the source whilst overlooking the whole of dublin from a rooftop bar.

Yesterday night we went on the Literary pub crawl. 3 actors guide you through the streets of Dublin and perform excerts from Irish plays and literature. They did pieces from Waiting for Goddot and one of Oscar Wildes letters as well as a few others and we went to some awesome pubs.

Some awesome news yesterday that I am sure Dad will be very jealous of...I'm going to see Billy COnnelly live! Can't wait!

Blogger Observations (I will try and put some in every blog as there are heaps of funny things around)
A sign on the Guiness factory roof reads "Warning these roofs COULD be dangerous"
Some Irish Ads:
Ahoy Mister Beaver (selling toothpaste)
Don't look now but I think we are being swallowed (2 pints of guiness talking to each other)
A family sitting around the dinner table: Daughter: "Can you pass the butter Dad", Grandmother: "He's not your father, we don't know who your father is" (can't remember what this is for)
