Not decided Franā€¦ but possibly Villanova I think

Weā€™re going to Cambrils in Salut middle of May. First foreign holiday with the girls. Once you get over the flight and transfers Iā€™d say the four month old will be grand, still fairly stationary and plenty of naps. My youngest will nearly be two by the time it comes around and sheā€™s a fucking handful at the best of times.

Flying tomorrow with Mrs. Moth and the two young lads - 5 hour flight, then a 5 hour layover and a 7 hour flight. Should be fun.

Happy new year TFK dads. Keep non-fathers out of this thread for 2016. Their carefree ways are reminiscent of the gays and their carry on.

Ryan giggs wanted to ride his missus

Weā€™re you aware of this, kid?

If its not breast fed then youā€™re better bringing formula with you apparently.

Ryanair staff are better at dealing with young babies than Aer Lingus.

Buy fast track at airport if flying at a busy time.

Have a bottle / boob / soother ready for take off and landing to help the ears popping

Expect the buggy to be fucked around by baggage handlers so if youā€™ve a really good one then maybe buy a cheaper alternative

Try stay somewhere where your apartment / room is close to the pool so you can sit out on balcony while baby having naps if he / she wonā€™t nap in buggy.

Thank you @mac, some great advice there.

@fran, I would have gone to same place as you but the only vacant spots they have at this stage are badly positioned.

Is your child not bothered by the hair around your boobs, pal?

Heā€™s got used to it thankfully

This is a bit of a weird one. I remember a phenomenon where Irish men would hand a note (fiver, tenner etc.) to young child for luck, where they knew the father or mother. However this evening, I experienced the first time where a random (drunk) stranger handed my young lad a tenner for luck. Neither I or Mrs Mac had encountered this man before and he was insistent we take it. I politely tried to give it back and when he insisted I said it was appreciated but there was no need to be doing something like this. Iā€™d associate such a behaviour with dark rural Ireland. Is it common enough or not?

Take the fiver say thanks and enjoy your holiday mate. Just always be wide

Could be a gypo curse. Best take the child to a priest. Heā€™ll know whatā€™s best for Mac Jr.

It did sound like he was from Cork. You could be onto something.
