Winter Break: Sigmund goes to Dublin

Dr Lobster* · Tue 19 Oct, 2004 23.46

i'm going away to dublin at the weekend for a few days, and have had a worrying thought: what kind of electrical plug fitting does southern ireland have? i know it's considered part of europe, and i know most european fittings are wierd, and i've never been before, and i really don't have a clue!

basically, will my winky waxing machine work in the emerald isle as well as it works in sunny norfolk?

An electrical winky waxing machine? Ooooooo.

If you're going to be north of the border I'll plug it in for you.

thank you very much barrett, i shall try and get some pictures of the inevitable piss up that will follow when i come back for your amusement.

Oooo... didn't even notice this 'til now. As Barrett said, plug is the same three pinned safety thingy plug here.

Points of Interest:

-Avoid most, if not all of North Dublin (well except the bitty of the city centre on the North Side).
-Prepare to be grossly overcharged on... mostly everything.
-The new trams only seem to have crappy *ting* *ting* *ting* bells, so be advised to LOOK BOTH WAYS

-Have a good time. Get pissed. etc...
