Fights to the UK change over the year, you can go to ba.com and zoom.com and check a few out but they run from $600 to $1300 cattle class I'd have to say.
As for booking in advance, the further in advance the better......closer to flight usually means far greater price...again a bit different!!

that = the old fart answer. Christmas is funny. The only big event near christmas seems to be the boat parade. there will be various christmas themed parties at the different bars in december. don't forget to buy your x-mas tree off the side of the road. an theres late night shopping in town leading up to the big day if you forgot your presents, a real convenience as shops are NEVER open that late here.

New Years? Well of course if you don't go out it'll be quiet!!! sheesh. i can tell you there are usually several large parties/concerts thrown by various groups and clubs. I can tell you I went to the Collie Buddz (learn his name) and Shaggy concert in town, while there were also parties at several at the various clubs, and also beach parties at several other places, I know I almost went to the coral beach club. You'll go where your friends go, but there will be choices.

Sorry to hear you're a Man U fang

There are those that would disagree with that statement.

You just reminded me of this:

Absolutely hilarious.

Let me try and get my post in before Blahblah this time...

August will be Hot Hot Hot, and the humidity will be High High High. It starts to change in September.

Personally I have never had the need for heating (being Jockish), the dampness is more of an issue than the cold. Just like primary school, I wear my shorts all year round....

Most houses have tanks to collect the rain water from the roof. I drink it year round, and have sufffered no ill effects, (although my posts sometime suffer). Provided you are sensible with your water consumption there is generally no need to purchase water, unless there is a long period without rain.

I live in a one bedroom apartment so pay all the bills. This is only a guide but it might give you a feel for what it costs.

Electric bill is normally around $200 a month, and rises to $300 when the A/C is in use.

Telephone Bill is $29 per month (flat rate as I don't use the phone much)

Long Distance telephone. I use TeleBermuda, or you can use Cable and Wireless. Think I pay something like 17c per min to the UK, but cost is irrelevant when speaking to parents

TV. I pay $120 per month for full channel line up plus carrier for internet. TV line up excludes movies and other subscription channels

Internet. I use Logic and pay $99 per month for 2mb service.

All utilities are paid monthly.

Hope this helps, It is expensive but if you are in shared accommodation the bills will be shared as well. There are some landlords that include some of the utility costs in the rent, but they are few and far between

Jimmy-J meet bigmac - he'll fix that for ya.

  Bigmac, I'm a Bermudian living in Dublin. I've lived in Ireland for nearly seven years, married and settled here. My wife, who's from the north side of Dublin (Lorcan) has been to Bermuda with me a few times and she can definitely give you the scoop from an Irish perspective. It's a strange place but it has its merits!
   You can text me if you'd like, my number's 085 159 3079, or I can answer any questions from here. I have some books about Bermuda, a few newspapers, not much else. A lot of empty rum bottles, heh heh.
    I'm a Bermudian who left but, bizarre as Bermuda is, I didn't quit the place because it was driving me crazy. It's just too small. If I'd grown up in Ireland I'd have itchy feet myself.
    I have a couple of friends I'll ask re: accommodation cheap as possible ... if I gather any wisdom on that I'll post it here. This site is indeed a mine of information.

   Hoho, you'll laugh your ass off at Flanagan's, my friend. The last time I got a Guinness there, I couldn't even finish the thing. It's pretty tacky kinda standard Irish bar, but it's generally packed.
   I also recommend Hubert's Bar. I forget what street it's on, but the area always did have a ropy reputation, so you don't want to get, like, blotto there, but they have some enjoyable enough music some nights - it's worth checking out when, taxi drivers always know. If you like little odd bars. I haven't been there in a few years, so if that bar has turned into a hell hole in recent years, hopefully someone here will say so. I guess a lot of places in Bermuda are pretty bland for drinking, is the thing ...
   I asked a couple friends if they know of any house-share type things going around, incidentally. That part can be tricky, but if I hear something I'll post it on here.
   Bermuda is a good place to get a change. It can be very "Twin Peaks" ... or Craggy Island, come to think of it ... but there's no place like it. Getting out on the ocean in any sort of way is an excellent way to get the best out of it. It will be hot in August, very bright, generally very sunny, sometimes muggy as hell.
    Being Irish helps your cause, though. Everybody likes Irish people. I didn't know there was GAA, but until 6 years ago I didn't know what GAA is.
    Well, let's see what I here back from the folks I asked, anyhow. Cool ...
