Anyway majority seems to be Greenes for the meal. How about next Saturday? If i could numbers asap and try book it like tomorrow or Monday. Just one thing about there, my friend went last time and the online menu was totally different to what they actually got on the night. So be prepared..:D

Count me in for Saturday if it's after 8.

Cadyboo

Doesn't seem like many want to go, but this late in the week now I'd say we might not get anywhere anyway. So dunno what to do!:o

castie

Less of the handbags. Anymore and 7 day bans are coming.
If you dont like the meetups fine but slagging them off here is unacceptable and wont be tolerated.

Goading folks for not going to them is fine though is it?

Not in the slightest. If you built up the courage to go to one of the meetups in the last 2 years rather than chickening out you would know that

sorry for the late response.

Zachary Lively Restaurant is a maybe for Saturday too. Were people thinking of drinks after if we do manage to get a booking?

deRanged

we'd be on for drinks afterwards anyway.

Excellent, might be an idea to try and book a table for 6 people unless others decide they want to come along in the meantime. We'll leave it till Cadyboo sees this and then see what the story is then. If we have a table booked at least we could let them know if people drop out and still have our booking.

FTGFOP

I'm interested I pm'd Cadyboo about it. Me + one more.

Pfft you and your sneaky ways. :P Maybe a table for eight then and I'll chase Zachary Lively Restaurant for a definite answer.

Cadyboo, let us know if you are able to book it. If not I'll check it out tomorrow.

Apparently it's supposed to be poor over the weekend but I'm hoping the weather people get it wrong again.

It's absolutely unreal today...I'd love a twister right about now

Thanks,

I thought they were accepting CV's by email to careers@jdplc.com, that being said I wonder if they are going to open in there at all. The sign must have been up for 5 or 6 months now.

mudokon

I've just booked Greenes for 9pm Saturday for 8 people, hope this is okay with everyone. If anyone cant make it let me know ASAP please.

people coming are:
me
Cadyboo
FTGFOP + 1
Deranged + 1
Zachary Lively Restaurant is a maybe.

FTGFOP

Thanks Mudokon!

deRanged

nice one Mudokon!

wow this weather is the best wont make dinner sorry but hope to see you guys for a drink later , hope everyone is enjoying this tropical weather!

mudokon

Thanks Zachary Lively Restaurant, shame you can't make it. I've dropped the numbers on the booking to 6. Where would people like to meet up? I was going to suggest the abbot ale house seeing as we never got to go there the last time.

@ Cadyboo, you don't need vouchers from the Echo but there is an extra discount if you have them apparently. €25 is a bargain anyway.

The food was fantastic and so was the company. (go on the cheesiness :D) Next time we should try for early food so we can have drinks after.

they took the doors, walls and a bit of the roof! though I suppose if you're taking an ATM out of a bank there's no point in being subtle about it.

LenaClaire

This rain is so yucky I have been spoiled by the nice weather lately and the rain is bringing me down.

Owen

Got drowned. Went out today to do a favour for a buddy who's car wasn't starting. 2 hours of leaning inside a bonnet with rain running down my ass crack wasn't pleasant

I have however rewarded myself with beer, and the necessary ingredients for a curry so hot, it may actually cause the end of the universe by a cascading thermal reaction.

Paintdoctor - you certainly paint a "memorable" picture with that description...!

I can't believe that it's bad down there. It was a fantastic lovely day in Dublin. Blue skys and all. Very windy though!

Hope everyone is doing good here.

deRanged

it's a horrible day down here, weather wise.

and those ATM guys apparently didn't manage to take the ATM afterall. I don't know why not, they got just about everything else.

how's Dublin Webmonkey?

Webmonkey

Ah Dublin's fine thanks. Quite settled here now. Sorry I didn't get to meet up with you the last time I was down. The day went a bit fecked up!

How's things there

no bother, and aside from the weather all is good in Cork. shame we can't shift the rain up to Donegal/Sligo direction - I'd say they'd be glad of it.

The weather has taken a turn for the worse,got drenched in town today.

Ha ha just got sunburned, badly. Couldn't move all weekend. never sun bathing again!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a half hour walk home in the rain to look forward to later. What the hell happened, weather is all over the place lately!

akamossy

Damn this changing weather and making me sick!! Missing out on work and money... grrr :mad:

wispyman

Lads (and gals) do you think we should keep putting up the monthly meetup threads going or do ye all think that things are better just done as and when in here??

Just wondered what the opinions are?!

wispyman

Ha!!

Post number 15,000 in this thread. Do I win anything??
