Big Mac.....your "GAA"..............

We love everyone in Bermuda even Lions and Tigga's and Bears OH MY!!!!!!

Hey Bigmac - try emailing bermudagaa@gmail.com for info on the GAA.  Best of luck!

Don't know where your from Biggy.....but a statement like that is cause for multiple law suits. The "Pharmacy

It's still hot right now and will be for the next few months.  You'll still have plenty of beach weather, no worries.

Only Friday night hotspot I can think of which is sort of in your area is the Veranda Bar at Elbow Beach Hotel.  They do an all you can eat curry buffet and salsa dancing on Friday nights and the place is usually packed.  Get there early enough for a quick dance lesson, then boogie the night away.  There's also the Swizzle South Shore.  There was a shooting there when it first opened a year or two ago but I haven't heard anything since.  I've never been there but I imagine that if it is still a dodgy place, someone else on here will let you know if I have led you astray.  Apologies in ad\/ance if I have.

Otherwise, all the best action is in town, which is close to Warwick, especially if you take Burnt House Hill to get onto Harbour Road.  Burnt House Hill is very near Whites in Warwick.  If it isn't rush hour, it's a quick and scenic drive.

 

Hey ya Bigmac: I agree with Valentine (@ Val: where ya been lady?? Glad to se ya back!)

Swizzle South Shore is an AWESOME place to grab a drink or food. The people there are great and it's a little less crowded and crazy.

I'm in Warwick and it's great little Parish, other than Elbow and Swizzle, there's not much more 'close to home' BUT - this island is so small that almost everything is 'close to home'! And cab rides back from town are like $10!!! (Don't drink and drive!)

Another favoriute thing to do when the weather is good (which is often) is grab a cooler full of brews and cop a squat on the closest beach!

I have recently succumbed to the Friday night craziness known as Happy Hour (all this means is after your first hour at Princess, you will have drunk enough to be really happy ALLLLLL night long!!! Although that does not seem to stop me!) It's pure messy craziness!

Now *I* will have to sneak a peek at the new pharmacist up at White's - hahahaha! Just so I can recognize ya at Happy Hour!

hi folks
important question. would anyone know is there a bar on the island that shows gaelic football. namely tye all ireland final. answers on a postxard please. well on here actually. this my seem a trivial question but an important one for a tyrone man at this given time. thanx very much folks. hope to hear good news on this front

Wow! well this turned into quite the comprehensive thread. bigmac mate, sounds like you're heading over with the right sort of attitude; but if you're anything like any of my Irish mates back home (ie. easygoing, love a good drink, love your sports and have a self-deprecating sense of humour) then you are bound to enjoy your time in Bermy. As a relative 'newbie' to the island (going on a few months now) I have to agree with pretty much all the advice everyone has given you (don't let the url fool you, for the most part the majority of people like it here, and the members on this forum (we?) are a pretty good bunch. SOME of the locals can be a little paradoxical in nature, but you get that wherever you are in the world. Yes the island is expensive, but it all depends on how you spend your money. For a small place the nightlife is pretty damn good really and there are a decent number of places to go. Heck i've barely been on the net (and therefore not posted much) since i got there (I'm off-island at the moment) because I was kept busy exploring the island, culture and nightlife. There are also plenty of good-looking ladies how many of them are single, I cannot say though. As you pointed out, it can sometimes be a bit difficult meeting people outside of work, so I (as others have no doubt already done) will put myself out there as saying that I as an Aussie male (25) am just about always up for some beers and footy at the pub.

Lastly I too found it a little daunting, but very exhilirating at the same time, when I moved over from Australia. Many of my mates thought I was nuts moving to the opposite pole of the earth, to a country i'd never been to and didn't know a single soul. But I for one thought that was half the fun.

So good luck with the move!

wait till you see Bermuda in the "winter" time...say Late January to Early March lol.
