You scored out of !
You chose... Paris
Ah, the city of lights. You're a bit of a romantic at heart, aren't you? You like the finer things in life, like good wine and good food... but most of all, good company.
You want to relax, but also like to go places ever so slightly off the beaten track. You're laidback but up for fun. You often choose things that can otherwise be a little overlooked.
You're easygoing and laidback and enjoy chill-out time. Your family is important to you, but you also like to kick back and have fun every now and again.
What's important to you in life? Beautiful things - be that a stunning skyline or art collections. You like to keep things nice and neat, but also have an adventurous streak.
The sprawling city of angels - does a part of you think you were born to see your name in lights? You like excitement and buzziness, but also want room to explore.
You'll often root for the underdog, and while you like city living, you also value a sense of community spirit. History and people's stories are important to you. (As well as a good pint.)
The ultimate buzzy city, you're in search of constant stimulation and adventure. If you can't travel the whole world right this second, you'll just take the many worlds that live within New York.
And best of all? All of these great destinations are available on Aer Lingus’s million-seat Great Escape Sale. If you’re looking to escape this winter, log onto aerlingus.ie and see what great deal (and adventure) awaits you.

If some of the parents, pointlessly commenting on FF v SF v FG politics here, instead brought their children to the free flu vaccine clinics today (or tomorrow), the HSE would be better able to cope with unavoidable accidents.
I wonder if we would be allowed have a referendum on restricting some peoples access to the internet?
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the usual conspiracy nonsense then you are officially blocked and barred from any kind of internet access – this will help you by not allowing you to be hoodwinked into believing any other utter rubbish and it will help society by preventing you from spreading your tripe.
Before anyone says I’m being a fascist etc I’m proposing a fair referendum where the will of the people decide the outcome – if the looneys win then I’ll accept that I live in a country of looneys (I really doubt they will though, thanks be to God!!)
