Al, the veggie option is for IB.

Yep, that's actually mid-range prices tbh.

A long neck bottle of beer, say Coors, or Bud or one of them, would cost about €5.20 or up to €6 in the city.

The place Al is going to is a fair bit out of the city, in fact it's North Co. Dublin.

Actually, give us a report on that place will you, my family will be looking to go for a meal for a birthday soon too.

You cant go wrong out in Oscar Taylors,I was out there for the first time in a long while last Sat night.I had forgotten how good it was and very reasonable.

So do I, which is why I don't drink any of the American beers. Coors, Bud, MGD, all crap beers, imo. (I did take a liking to Miller High Life, which can't be got here)

AND, they are all brewed here "under licence", which means they aren't the real deal at all.

Even the "trendy" Euro beers like Heineken, same price.

The price of beer makes me sad.

Ah yeah, love Oscars I do. They have a sister restaurant in Blanch called The Vineyard or something like, which is also nice.

We go to Oscars so much though, it's nice to try other places.

I love sitting beside the fire on cold nights. Toasty.

I stayed in the Hotel one night, and they had a fella playing the piano in that little room just off the restaurant, after the restaurant had closed. Great night that was.

The hotel was grand, but it was about five or six years ago at this stage, so I can't remember the price.

Too much use of the word fact around here....fact

ShiverinEskimo

I work in a call centre and some absolute culchie motherf**ker just called me a wanker because I wouldn't unsuspend his account after he failed to pay his bill.

Ruined my f**king night. Hateful bastard. I'm trying to do my job and he won't pay his bill and calls me a wanker. Lord bless us and save us. :mad:

ShiverinEskimo

Anyways - rant over. Have a good weekend all.

Over critical are we!! it's a great show..

Switched to watching the 24 boxsets a few months ago so its some light entertainment after all that serious 'saving the world' stuff.. 24 is a unreal thou.. Think i'm getting withdrawal symptoms after finishing all the DVDs.

ShiverinEskimo

Go see Wall-E. Just go.

Bounty Hunter

Would love to see Grinderman live.
Saw Mercury Rev & Goldfrapp a few years ago at Electric Picnic, Goldfrapp were alright, but was very disappointed by Mercury Rev. Rev play Galway in November might go along, the smaller venue might suit better.
Not really a fan of Kasabian, but meant to put on a good show.


/Edit: Xavi6, congrats, tis one of the best feelings ever, passing your driving test!!!

Is it easier/harder than the Irish test? Any reversing around corners involved ?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Are you still here I am sure you were saying that I was doing my best to get rid of you

Anyway my first full on poker tourney tonight and I will honestly admit to being rubbish at the game and am mostly going for the beer and some craic with some mates. Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated, not gonna dare to stick my head around the door of the poker forum, they take it awfully seriously over there.

Is it a home game or a casino game...?

For a start never limp into a pot only come in with a raise.

I presume you didn't have your test here and thats why u did it in Aus.
Means you have to go through the P-plate system now. Very good system but far too organised and sensible to ever be implemented in Ireland...! Zero tolerance on the ol drink driving, which is another good idea..

Xavi6

Yeah I only had my provisional back home.

The system over here is excellent. Booze buses are the best thing ever for catching the arse holes.

Ah it'll be good craic anyways, Glasgow is a great spot. If ya get a chance go to the Nice 'n' Sleazy bar on Sauciehall St.[sp?].

Bounty Hunter

Nice and Sleazy eh? interesting name, think im flying back to London around 2 on the monday though after the 3-day camping jobbo for the festival.

ShiverinEskimo

Went paintballing today with work. OMG it was some craic. I got riddled trying to capture the flag but great craic.

Edit - Removed for general drunken nonsensicalness...

**** i'm locked.

estebancambias

lol at 'fundalk' the only thing fun about that place is the road out of it.

ShiverinEskimo

Harsh.

_blank_

...but true.

And that road isn't even fun when local skobes are firing rocks at the car or bus.

:mad::mad:

ShiverinEskimo

Have either of you ever spent any time in Dundalk? I find it funny that two Dubs are criticising Dundalk and one even talking about skobes firing rocks at cars... :rolleyes:
