The point was that a lorra lorra people tend to go away for the June Bank Holiday!

Just on that,the only date I categorically cannot do is the 27th/28th as Im on a stag that weekend.

Also are we using proportional representation in this system...some date will get eliminated and then 2nd preferences will be distributed until we have a winner? :pac:

I approve of this system.

Doubt the poor mods will though.

Free for them all, until I check my work schedule and discover I'm in Belfast

Jaysus checked the schedule, not the 20th of May, all other dates are fine

Spent ages yesterday wondering why the 20th May meant something to me. Realised I have a friend whose band is playing Whelans that night. So I'll have to show my face there. Though you can all pay in and watch them as well :D

So where's this meetup happening then? Clare is it?

Otis Driftwood

Friday 27th May

Clare eh.

Hmmmm.

Hows about we put that in the maybe column.



On that actually it might not be any harm to start suggesting potential venues.

The last one was in Solas so I think this time around maybe have it somewhere quieter.

Places like Doyles.Kinda old manish bars but not too old manish if that makes sense.

stupidusername

Some time in June

Yes! Old mannish pub:)

ToniTuddle

Ya know for Sat 21st May it says 9 people voted....why can I only see 8 names?


As for places....

TP Smiths the one on Jervis.
Whelans never been but it's meant to be good
Sub Lounge/O'Reillys this place I like, cheap and good music and the bar does promotions each hour of different shots :pac:
The Grand Social near the Ha'penny bridge thingy
On the other side of that same Bridge is the Gypse Rose bar
Doyles been there for beers before and was good spot

Oh and there is another pub we went to for the comedy beers....I'll dig out the name of it now in a bit.
EDIT: here we go! the name of it is Peadar Kearneys

That's all I can think of right now!

Otis Driftwood

Friday 27th May

Reason for only 8 people showing is because I think that non reggies can vote so their vote shows up.Bit of a glitch in the matrix tbh.

Scared of heights maybe? Short and scared of heights, how bad is that?

Larianne

If yous are looking for somewhere that's old manish and for chats The Long Stone is a good spot.

Macturcaills has the cheap booze. (I know O'Reillys does too but its Rock night on Saturdays!)

Doyles is great for dancing. (oh and has drinks specials!)

parker kent

Friday 27th May

I think two options are needed. Somewhere old mannish and suited to chats for pre-12. Then somewhere like Doyles/Whelans that gives a mixture of the two for the wee hours.

Dord

I think Whelans would be a good one, either that or Doyles.

+1 on the above.

The Long Stone is a great spot.Excellent smoking area in it and their Guinness is top notch.

On Whelans there are always gigs on in it so that may be a non runner.

The Long Stone is just a 3 minute walk from Doyles.

Id be 100% happy with those venues tbh.Reasonably priced bevvies and central location plus no cover charges.

Win win!

Not as bad as being afraid of heights and really really tall I'd imagine.

Yeah well....it's a funny looking bridge to what I'm used too...there's no grass growing on it

YES! Excellent thinking woman
That LongStone is the other pub there was a beers on then we all went to Doyles. Awesome night

You gonna definitely come to this Miss L so we can finally meet and shake our bums on the dancefloor? :pac:

*Minor pedantry*....I did mention earlier that I have a good friend playing a gig in Whelans the night before, so I had included that in my thoughts! I meant a "Whelans type" place instead of specifically Whelans.

But the ladies appear to have picked a very good plan!

ToniTuddle

Major benefit to the Long Stone and Doyles plan?

Less walking time = less complaints about sore feet :pac::D

You madam, are a rarity! The "my feet are really sore, but it's not the fault of the 6 inch heels I wore despite knowing we'd be walking a lot" conversation is one I know too well!

I've lost several years of my life sitting on a seat watching various sisters, mothers, GFs etc finding flats, heels, wedges, boots, sandals....

Is that an offer to come shoe shopping with me? hate shopping. ugh. so tiring.

I can imagine, but it's even more frustrating when you're the one that needs them. And I do need them. I've two pairs of shoes with me in Dublin, furry boots and white runners. neither of which will do for a night out.
