Fancy stopping by my house and putting this in the back?



Problem is, I really dont think it could be lifted

Fajitas!

I think B would have something to say about that, too.




I still have to get that bit of slang down.

I have a good few rolls of the free unicare film lying in my freezer at the moment. I can bring some down if anybody is interested, but as I have no freezer bag, they'll be thawed out when I get down.

Let me know if you're interested.

I'd happily take a few rolls off your hands!
Cheers!

I suppose i had better start wondering about the drive....


Coming from Kerry through limerick roscrea would it be better to turn off at portlaoise and head for tullamore or is there a shorted easier run?

thanks

Once you get to roscrea, turn left at the third roundabout and head for birr, once in birr it's just a short drive to tullamore. There is a new road there and charville is on this side of tullamore so you should be quick enough getting there

Kazujo

If anyone has any colorful torches, glow sticks or lightsaber type things bring them along. Could be interesting for light painting when the sun goes down

I'm going to have a look in to see what I can get on the cheap.

2 euro stores have glow sticks. I forgot to go back in while shopping for party supplies on the weekend.

Hi everybody!
I'm looking forward to meeting you all this weekend and being all clicky. Just wondering if anyone has any space for a lift from Dublin or if anyone wants to public transport it with me?

I have a spare tent and airbed is anyone needs them.

Is the spare tent still available? Then I'd love to make a loan of it.

Or otherwise would someone else have one for me?

I have space if you need, I'll be leaving from the Marino so if you're on the northside or can meet in the city centre that should be grand. I'll have one space left if anyone else needs it.

Oh, also have a spare sleeping bag if anyone needs one.

Yep the tent is still available so it's yours if you want it

ThOnda

I am driving from south Dublin and then back later that night. If anybody wants a lift, PM me.

That'd be great DutchGuy. Thanks! I'm in town end of Christchurch so town would be easiest place for me. Anyway, I'll PM you my details and then I need to find out what sandwiches/cakes you'll be needing to give you energy for the drive.

I want cakes pretty please

Buzz Lightyear

Have to say I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

For anybody planning on getting up early / not going to bed, here's the sunrise time and direction for sunday morning

I was told "I want never got" as a child but I say to hell with these rules! Cakes for all! And special cake for Tallon!

I'm getting exceptionally excited about this weekend. And worried that I'll forget a crucial something. I won't forget the cake though so that'll be alright :pac:

Fionn

whatever you do - don't forget your camera!!!

kittykrazy

I want to sniffily say, "I never forget my camera!" But I have learnt that that attitude usually leads to ironic forgetfulness.

I actually hadn't written camera or kit on my list so thanks for the reminder Fionn!

Fionn

must make a list too i guess!


anyone know what the weather forecast is going to be like? if it's good might travel on my motorcycle.

Slidinginfinity

I have been throwing thing in a small suit case so as not to forget something.

DK32

Just getting my stuff together in advance of the weekend.

I can give a lift if anyone is stuck. I'm coming from Greystones along the N11 north bound & the M50 as far as the Lucan turn off.

Is there a specific area for tents, like beside your car? How does this normally work?

PS:

Reason I ask about tents is the weather forecast looks nasty for the weekend so I may opt to sleep in my car instead

dave66

I'm more than a little jealous, hope you all have a great time!

Sebzy

We will be camping out back and cars will be round front.
The weather should be good.

If anyone needs a lift from Kilkenny let me know,

I'm coming up from Crosshaven, Cork on Saturday morning and then to Dublin on Sunday. If that suits anyone let me know.

Slidinginfinity

Just wondering if we have any musicians in the group. Might be nice if someone had a guitar or something.

Just a thought.

For the record, I have no musical ability.

DeVore

I can play the piano a little but it wont fit in my bag

DeV.

DeVore

ps: sooooo looking forward to this now ... its going to be epic.

DeV.

Tallon

I can't play guitar anymore because of the aul arthritis

But I can bring one if needed

Sebzy

Despite what people say the two pianos in the morning room are not playable. It's the combination of no maintenance(60 years) and delicate internals. We have been asked to stay well clear but I'm sure if anyone fancys tuning them up your more than welcome once you pass it by Bonnie first.

Well I'm sure someone might have an electric piano somewhere.

"a little"....

Anyway, I'm unlikely to take my finger off the shoot button morning day evening or night time!

Would these interest anyone here?





can bring them at the weekend for someone to mess with

Slidinginfinity

Tallon they might be fun on my Minolta lenses, right size.

Cool, remind me on sat to give them to you. Havn't a clue who you are.

Am i the only person on here with a real name?

theboat

I can also bring a guitar, though I don't know all that many songs. So someone else may need to play it!
I'll bring some shakers or a tambourine or something too. I know loads of songs on those

Tallon wrote: »

As for me: yes:p

But honestly: To remember the combination of 40 faces + nick names + real names is the part I'm not at all looking forward to. Glad I know already a few but still not enough...
