Now, for the next one....

I'm hoping to host one this month,
Any particular Friday suit best?

Actually, 21st of Sept is out, as I am selling paintings that weekend!

So, maybe the 28th?

28th suites me as it's just after pay day. Yay! :-)

CiDeRmAn

Not much interest?
Well, is there a date or place that might suit better?

Thought I thanked the post? Any weekend suits me really unless it doesn't suit Retr0

Atavan-Halen

Any weekend that's not the 8th suits me!

CiDeRmAn

OK, well, get Retr0 to put down that frock and have a look at his calendar!

Retr0gamer

I'll be there.

Can persistent no showers like Enternow, O1s1n and the rest be convinced to brave the North Co.Dublin night?

Hey, I shower at least once a day!

o1s1n

I'll do my best to try! The 28th is quarter end in work though, so I'm more than likely be very busy. We shall see.

CiDeRmAn

Right, just confirmed with She Who Must Be Obeyed that the night of the 28th of September is a go, so I'll stock up on nachos, haribos, energy drinks and other essentials for the big night!

After the 28th I'll run something for the Christmas in December, last year was a good laugh!

CiDeRmAn

So, just to remind all of the 28th of September and the Beers in my place.
Should be a blast and all are welcome.... even members who have lost their way and don't post here anymore
Give me some idea, if you will, of whose coming, so I can get in the appropriate amount of Pizza/Nachos/Haribos/Absinthe....

I wouldn't say that too loudly if Retr0 is going

CiDeRmAn

It'd be swell if that did it for my but I just don't rock that way!

At least I'm not the one openly propositioning a gay bloke in front of everyone! ;-)

He's doing exactly as he should do in this case. He worded something innocently, & we attacked him. Now he's simply passing the slagging onto someone who made a bigger boo boo - Atavan :D Normally Retr0 is the victim of such 'pass the book' banter, but lest we forget what Atavan done too

CiDeRmAn

Ahhhh!!!!!


I'm going mental!


Can't people not have a laugh here anymore?


It's too early in the morning for this!

And I've painting to do today!


Back to the relevant stuff, whose coming on the 28th?

I'm starting to wonder the same thing

CiDeRmAn

I'm going to leave the 28th out there for the next few days, if I don't see enough interest I'll knock it on the head, which will be a real shame because I know I've had a blast at the last few of these.

Come on people, crack a smile and come on over!

Enternow?
Sparks?
the rest of you reprobates?

Atavan-Halen

I already said yes!

Hello.... :P

o1s1n

Turns out the 28th is actually my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary and they're renting out a function room.

As much as I'd love to hang out with you guys, I can't really pass it up!

Retr0gamer

Middle of nowhere.

Steve X2

I really must go to one of these beers nights at some stage.

johnny_ultimate

Nothing like heading into the middle of nowhere to meet up with strangers from the Internet :P

But yeah, will potentially be game for this, lift dependent of course!

CiDeRmAn

The more the merrier, even hipsters are welcome, welcome to stand smoking in the garden discussing how much they're not going to like The Hobbit!

I'd need to scab a lift off somebody too, no way in hell public transport will get me anywhere near there.

CiDeRmAn

Actually the 41b will drop folk at the end of the road.

There's actually a bus that goes near your house?!?! I thought folk out that way have never even seen a bus!

Also, can we play rock band at this?

Ciderman?

Atavan-Halen

It does bear a slight resemblance to him....

MrVestek

Ohhh right cool well even still I may then need a lift home afterwards, lol. Or at least a lift into town where I can then get a taxi home or whatever.

Planning on bringing my original Xbox 1 with CoinOps 4 loaded onto it. Does anybody object to this? May also possibly bring my Dreamcast with VGA adapter and Link83 bios mod.

o1s1n

The only thing you'll need to bring to Ciderman's is something to catch all the drool when you check out how many consoles he has set up in his attic

Bound to be some incontinence pants lying around given his age

Having had a career in working serving people who need such products I was not, in any way, prepared for this...


So, this is what happens, apparently, when Ann Summers is making incontinence wear for men.... oh dear

On the plus side, you'll certainly get some looks from the ladies walking down the street wearing one.

CiDeRmAn

And what has been seen cannot be unseen...

I can see some of the lonelier members of the forum nipping off to McCabes to buy a pair....

No, there is a bus, and as for Rock Band, as long as it's for the 360 or Wii yup, no PS3 in mine, unless someone wants to give me one... a PS3 ffs!

A bus that comes 4 times a day at horribly inconvenient hours. :P
