portrush
Portrush was just as I remember it as a kid, cold wet and miserable. The last two times I have been up have been on crisp clear days, making Portrush look quite appealing. Today was much more traditional.
The Ramore was quality, I had Japanese Tempura Prawns, with loads of dips, wasabi, sweet chilli, and weird brown vinegary dips, that I am too uncultured to appreciate.To accompany the prawns, I had a huge bowl of 'Big Chips' and a pint of coldflow. I hear the howls of anger from the true stout drinkers, however I always hated stout until coldflow came on the scene.
The trip to the Bushmills Railway did not materialise, we hit Barrys instead, taking Rebecca's nephew on all the kiddies rides, he didn't seem too enthusiastic, which is surprising because he is enthusiastic about everything else, yet a carousel does not appeal.
I took a photo of the only bright thing I saw in Portrush:

Portrush is shite. Always has been and always will be. I never really went to Portrush as a kid, my family went to Newcastle instead. Now that is a real shit hole. One summer we didn't go on a proper holiday so to make up for it we went to Newcastle /every/ week. I know every fuckin tree in Tulleymore Forst Park.
But I am grateful for those weekends, I look back on them to a simpilar time where a go on the go-karts amused me. I sometime wish I could go back to that time.. sometimes..
