Boards Beers: This Friday, May 16th

tristanc

Friday seems to be the poll winner. Location?
I'll suggest:

9:00 at McAlindens

Then likely to the Roisin at the end?

Art_Wolf

And it looks like I will be here this weekend \o/

ciotog

Great - will see you there. Possibly later than 7:30 but I shall be along (back to feeling like a tourist in Galway again after being a month away).

Early start?! Some of us will still be working at that hour (after doing a three-hour exam!). The Róisín sounds good too.

The Queen

Agh ye bastards. I'm in England. :mad:


eh.... When did we get this? ----> :rolleyes:

I shall hopefully be in attendence. I'll be the boardsie with a red mohawk and patterns shaved into either side of his head.

LadyMayBelle

I suggest a freaking course in planning! 3 threads to sort out beers? I'm unimpressed!

Technically the first one was to drum up interest, the scond to set a date and the third to make a lsit of all those planning to attend.

I'm actually quite impressed by the thought and planning which has thus far gone into the event.

Toto Wolfcastle

I'm impressed that it was sorted out in the end!

I didn't expect anything less from the clearly fine and upstanding people who frequent this forum.




Ooops, sorry, thought I was in AH for a minute!

Bit of a low blow there.

If this was After Hours then the meeting place would more than likely be "Your Ma's house" and we'd all end up argueing till someone mentioned those damned foreigners taking all our beers before the thread was locked.

Toto Wolfcastle

LOL I jest, I jest! In fairness, I have probably posted in/read the Cork forum about twice whereas I post/read here everyday!

Stupid Galway people, coming in here, taking my Cork accent. (BTW fail! I never had one to begin with!)

Enjoy the beers anyway.

I'm the same. I haven't lived in Galway for nearly 3 years and still read the forum every day. I guess deep down I still long for it's busy streets, many shops and the awesome characters. Then again it could just be the fact that you can go into a shop and buy comic books without being asked if your 5 years old. Damned Eason's staff and their condescending manner.

I was thinking the same thing myself in fairness - tristanc gave the dates and all people had to do was say 'I'll be there on ...'. When did going to the pub become so complicated

Will do, just have to track down a copy of it - does it need to be ordered online or will I be able to buy it locally?

PopeBuckfastXVI

I think I got the last copy in Dubray.

I'd say go for online, it's incredibly short so don't worry about having enough time to read it

One of my mates was trying to convince me to come to it yesterday, but I don't terribly relish being a decade older than everyone at the party

Sure you went with me to see thee Dropkicks and I'm around half your age.

MattKid

Did he give you sweets and then try and touch you inappropriately?

Ah, but the dropkicks concert - not everyone half my age. A lot of my mates in this town are a decade younger than I, it seems to be the nature of the beast here. It's when there's 200 people a decade younger and then me that I draw the line.

I require critical mass. Ie mixed older and younger crowd - grand. Only old dude among the young 'uns - I'll be self-conscious. Nude beach - totally down with it. Naked among a bunch of dressed people - hell no. Drunk in a festival with a bunch of people on the tear - great craic. Only drunk person amongst a crowd of sober people - well, we all have our exceptions

Excuse me? I'd never encourage impressionable youth to be eating gratuitous sugar! Broccoli, carrot sticks, and brown rice. And maybe just a little whiskey.

I've never understood giving sweets first. Surely they should be given after as a reward for a job well done.

Have fun.
