    I dunno man, that's just what they said. Mind you it'd have been funny had anything kicked off cos they're all animals! Every city has the dirtbag element and u can get a big miss if you're unlucky enough to hit the wrong spot.

    Dunno how anyone could dislike London, quality city, loads to do, great infrastructure and great nightlife.

    I've heard loads bout Edinburgh. All positive. Defo gonna get over soon. heard Scottiish birds are teh balls too!

    holiday blues are the worst. I'm planning (as long as the world doesn't implode) to travel for 2-3 years so that'll be balls comin back from that.

    Aye. I'd shudder to think what kinda impression some of our clubs leave with the weekend breakers.

    Just can't stand the place. Sells itself as a big intl. city, when in reality; it is a sprawling mess of grey concrete, dirt, multiculturalism gone horribly wrong, and the most over the top pricing I have ever encountered. If you've ever been to New York, it is hard to take London seriously.

    Aye, Eden-burger is the biz. We should get an epic soccer beers going there :)

    Those be some mighty fine traveling plans you have there. Eying up something similar myself. Would love to get back to Canada for a year, travel coast to coast in the U.S, and maybe squeeze in S.E Asia as well.

    Ok, I don't mind some photos, but this thread is for off topic discussion.

    If you guys want to turn this into slydice thread, I'll just move it to that forum and close the thread.

    They seem to love it. You meet the weekend tourists in Coppers every week. They love how its socially acceptable to get blind drunk in Dublin. But I'm sure once they sober up they see it for the kip it is.

    LOL first time I read that i thought you were talking about Dublin!! I've been to New Yoik twice, last November was the last time actually, my best mate's there atm. Love New Yoik. But I also love London. Mainly cos everytime I go we have nights of epic randomness....for example last time I was there we ended up in an illegal basement nightclub that was full of Brazilians playing Brazilian dance music.....we were the only gringos in the house! One of the most fun nights out I've had...continental challenge was completed too!
    Aye, Eden-burger is the biz. We should get an epic soccer beers going there :)

    Baby steps, we've to go to Deventer/the Dam first remember! Plus the last soccer beers saw myself, Des, pfb and Bounty Hunter turn up and then we got started on by "Dimitri".....numbers!! tbh!

    A season in Whistler in Canada followed by a tour of the US at different training camps with the pros (MMA - I'm a geek), then back to S.E. Asia then hopefully a year in Oz where I'll find a wife.....I have a weakness! :pac:





    Right gents I'm off to the cot. Should have done this about 2 hours ago but what the hey! Epic way to spend a friday night i have to say! :pac:

    Evening GY. How was your day?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,552 ✭✭✭✭GuanYin

    It isn't a question of behaving, it is a question of the right place for things.

    As I said, I don't mind a photo in context, but randomly posting a load of photos of women is not why this thread was allowed to run.

    Maybe I need to post some ground rules.

    Evening GY. How was your day?

    My day was OK, was busy but I like it like that. I'm going to happy hour soon :)

    To be fair, I started that when I fcked up my 5000th post cos charlie requested bewbs! Once off. We dont normally post slydice type stuff and ya have to admit, some of the GIFs are funny and EVERY fail GIF aimed at me was deserved (I really made a balls of that post!)

    Good stuff. Busy days make the day seem quicker. I however choose to let my busy workload build up as i value my days on this thread more than being busy. Slow day on OT > fast day workin tbh! Though i have learned to balance it better than a few months back ("Aye right"!) the day does rip by when you're busy though. An active mind is the best way to be.

    Happy hour is the shizzle. Whats your drink of choice as a matter of interest? Lucky u. I'm goin to happy 8 hours now, better known as bed. (I said that 20 mins ago too but got distracted!)

    I have a tablet PC, so I tend to browse boards standing in the corner when people are talking about things I'm not particularly interested or involved in.

    I like soda and lime :)

    Otherwise a good red wine or a well made espresso martini.

    What about you, all beer, right?

    I'm too drunk to focus on the last few pages, but loving the photo of Zooey? Is that how it's spelt? Two things about her. Elf! Will Ferrell is in it so therefore you have to love it. And secondly, her band, She & Him are pretty frickin' good

    apologies GY, should have posted the context for my pic addition. Had just been watching a movie with her in it. She wasn't the main person by a long shot, but just thought she was the most attractive, while also being the least 'done up'. Not something one see's too often.

    On the dry myself tonight, can only afford one night out over the weekend, so that'll be tomorrow. up early enough tomor for some surfing anyway, so didnt wanna be hungover.

    Unfortunately they outlawed 'happy hour' here a few years ago. Enjoy it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    I think this may be my first ever proper drunken post. I usually don't drink too heavily but I may have had my body weight in the stuff tonight.

    Funnily enough I always seem to maintain my typing coherence when i've been drinking though.

    I'm afraid to go to bed in fear of the dreaded beer-spins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,908 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    In 6 hours time I will embark on a 5 hour long free piss up. End of year football thing and the club are putting on a three course meal in some swanky hotel with free alcohol between 7 and 12. Gonna get Lionel Messi!

    It depends on the scenario. I've been single for a while (by choice may I add! :pac: - cue smart comment! :P) so haven't really done the whole eating out thing a whole lot bar the odd occasion but when I'm eating eating i actually really like white wine. If i'm just goin out to party I start off with beer and then onto Jager usually.

    If I'm havin 2 or 3 drinks with a couple of mates then nothing beats a couple of pints of Guinness.

    Nay! This was maybe true about 3-4 years ago but now generally anything with him in it I vigorously avoid. He hasn't made anything that made me laugh since Anchorman. I thought "Elf" was atrocious tbh.

    Yeah Whistler is savage. Went camping up there when I was in Vancouver (proper rugged-man camping:cool:), and it is in a world of its own in terms scenery and the like. Would love to do another summer in Vancouver, and then head up to Whistler for the snow season. Supposedly jobs a plenty as long a you get up by the end of September.

    So when are we booking the flights? :pac::pac:

    Ah no, there have been some legendary threads around here as a result of drinking and forum-ing. There was one gem from Archimedes in AH a while back. I also remember Kjdacl arguing with just about everyone in the Soccer forum last year after a match. Not completely sure he was drunk, but that was the general assumption :D

    Yea i've only heard good things, would really enjoy that tbh so hoping to get it done.

    Well I've 2 years to go on my contract/exams here then I plan to leave this place for at least 2-3 years!! But I've a while to go yet...plus i've to save teh monies!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,908 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Lol I remember the Archimedes AH one. Had to PM the poor lad to make sure he was ok. Sound lad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,815 ✭✭✭Charlie


    I thought you were meant to be on your bender, sans paying?

    Would I be right in assuming that if this is a work do, and the boss is picking up the tab, a few of the shelias will be making fools of themselves, Christmas-do styley?

    Edit: Where's all your sigs gone? Teh bacon pull a Rodney King on ya?

    Has anyone ever seen the Graham Taylor documentary about his time as England manager during the '94 qualifying campaign. It was on ITV4 a few days ago.

    Absolutely epic viewing, on a par with David Brent in terms of cringe.

    Anyways,

    You can watch the full thing here. Well worth a watch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 288 ✭✭Publin
