I'd like to pop along too as i'll most likely be in town at a gentlemen's club anyway. May as well put a few names to face however I prefer the 30th myself.

Anyday after payday is nominal!

I don't know if there is much point for 8, is there?

Will they accept a booking for that number?

Tom Dunne

Friday 23rd November

All righty. I've created a Social.ie event for this.

Full details here. Could somebody who knows the place check the map and make sure it is accurate, the Long Stone's website's map is a tad obscure. We can't have punters ending up in Pearse Garda Station, now can we?

Map is right. It's a hard pub to miss, there's a big Longstone written on the side wall. I shall endeavour to drop in for a beverage.

Ah, I think I know it. I can certainly picture a pub with big writing at the side of it, I just never paid any attention to it.

Well it's time you started! I seem to get free Guinness when I go in there

As a matter of interest, how will we recognise each other?

We fall into one of two categories:

Late 20's/early 30's professionals who look like they are out for a few civilised after-work drinks

or

lumbering slobs with barely a head of hair among them and of ample girth, gagging for a drink, ogling every female that walks by, especially if she is carrying platters of food

Alternatively, we could invent a secret BG+RH handshake.

The beer gutted and follically challenged should stand out.

see if we reserve an area, we can put up a sign saying Yore Ma's and then we would know who we are are

i might drop in on my way home from work and see if they will reserve one or two tables for us

or else we could agree to wear/bring carnations

Wouldn't we all look a bit stupid wearing tins of condensed milk?

That would be great if you could.

irishbird wrote: »

And where would we put them, seeing as we don't have hair.

I could think of one or two places.....

It is possible to reserve the snug in the Longstone. Should easily fit 20 people around the 3 tables.

Unless we just book one table...

I ventured into the Longstone this evening to sample their ales. I deem them worthy.

I assume no one has any issue with me tagging along? Brother Tom knows of me and my beering ways.

John Mason

Friday 23rd November

okay, table booked in the Long Stone for 10/15 people on friday the 16th November from 6pm onwards. so brother and brotherettestry and drum up some more people please

feylya

Friday 23rd November

Did ya get the snug?

copacetic

although I haven't been a regular visitor here since the first few weeks I'm hoping to make it along to this. hopefully it is the least nerdy that any event organised online could be!

Ah now, brother Zaph.

Let's be honest here - nerds are hardly BG+RH material. With no disrespect intended to nerds.

Zaph

Friday 23rd November

I agree, Brother Tom, just trying to rattle Brother copacetic a bit

Are you implying Brother Copacetic is a nerd?

Zaph

Friday 23rd November

Now don't be putting words into my mouth!

Brother copacetic was worried that nerds might show up, so I decided that I wouldn't entirely erase the doubts from his mind.

copacetic

I'm getting worried now, in normal company I can be the most techie/nerdy, compared to the average boardsie I'm not. Have the nerds taken over the brethern while I wasn't looking?

Zaph

Friday 23rd November

Nah, don't worry Brother copatetic, the most technical thing a Brother can manage is the tap on one of them new-fangled Heineken kegs.

I did. I mixed them up with the beer-tasting classes.

A wise move, no point running before you can walk, or drunkenly stumble...

Just a reminder for the beers - 16th november, 6pm the long stone. have we come up with a sign yet, i think the cans of carnation milk is the best

I know there's a sign-up thread in Social, but seeing as very few people have found it maybe we should have a Yea or Nay public poll for those who will/will not be attending. That way we can see at a glance who'll be around.

I was joking about the carnation milk, but I do like the idea of a couple of tables in a pub piled high with tins of condensed milk.
