I know the feeling - I've been supporting England's cricket for years .... hopeless cause (almost).

Espero que van a soportar las Pumas desde ya.

muy divertido

Ha..........you think you can fool me with that Spanish stuff. Sorry but I'm married to one so I know what your on about! Well at least the easy stuff.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Treinta quince - how does that translate?

[Narnia]

We lost..................translates very badly but that's life!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Never mind - I'll buy you a red lemonade if we should ever meet.

Can I have a bag of Tayto's too?

[mockney piers]

The missus, who is wexford born and bred, is now proudly sporting her Puma's top. If Ireland can't have it, I know who she'd like to win it.

[Annasfield]

mmmmm Taytos - you can get them in the Castle

That's because of Felipe isn't it?

[Michael Palaeologus]

The Welsh seem strangely quiet..

[mockney piers]

Ha ha, possibly, but mostly cos she fell in love with the country a couple of years back when we were out there.

On the subject of Ireland, can anyone recommend nice touristy things to do on your tod in Dublin this afternoon?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Well the tourist nightmare that is Temple Bar reverts to a more arty-boho vibe in the daytime with bits of random music and arts centres around the place

Wander up Grafton Street and look down one of the side streets to see a statue of Phil Lynott, opposite wich I always have a pint (of coke naturally) in Mcdaids, the regular haunt of Behan and his cronies

[mockney piers]

Sounds nice, might take a book and chill too.

Perhaps a walk around the green too.

Cheers Sean

Harry Street ! That's teh name of the street with McDaid's on it

I was going to mention the Green but thought "Dublin - October" etc....

Some good solid bookshops around to have a browse - I find the stock to be often different to UK shops

[Asset]

Jocks have made it to the quarters!

[Keef]

Where they meet the team that knocked Ireland out, and beat France... Will be a tough one! Stand a chance though, which is more than can be said for England against the aussies, although I expect them to play better than they did against South Africa.

I don't know if this is strictly touristy - but you could do worse than get yourself into Superquinn for a fabby coffee slice - as recommended by our own dear Dulwichmum.

[citizenED]

Keef, I reckons that England have a better chance agin the Aussies than the "jocks" (as Asset charmingly called them) do against the Argentines.

Shame about Ireland - always want them to do well.

Darling Mr Mockney,

The only place to go to while away an afternoon in Dublin is the Terrace Lounge at The Westbury Hotel - just off Grafton Street. You can look down at the crowds mulling about in the cold weather, read a book, listen to the piano playing in the background, have the most amazing high tea (or smoked salmon on lovely home made brown bread) and some of the best Guinness in Dublin. When there are queues to get in to every coffee shop in town - the Terrace is always tranquil and civilised and cultured. Order Mrs Mockney a glass of fizz and put your feet up. It isn't even expensive!

[mockney piers]

Thanks DM, maybe next time.

It certainly looks amazing (are you sure it's not pricey?), but we were slightly less classy last night with visits to McDaid's and the Hairy Lemon after dinner at the Chatham Brasserie.

[dulwichmum]

I promise, an afternoon in there is not going to cost you more than about ?25 each with lunch and a squiffy head. It feels very special and it is really romantic... (sigh).
