    Last time I drank tequila was in Lafayette with Pembily,Bluewolf and one or two other folk whose names escape me.

    Stupid decayed grey matter.

    Lafayettes only problems were the loud music and the other people in the club (a bit too cool for school for my tastes, but sure once we are there the rest of the people don't matter too much).

    So I'll stick to my usual story, we should go somewhere suited to chat first and then people have the option to go somewhere else after. The Long Stone/Doyles combo worked very well when we went there.

    I didn't even say hello to you at Lafayette. I think I was too busy fondling Tar. *purrs*

    Having only popped my boards beers cherry at the last gc one, and being quite newly spending time in Dublin, Ill defer to greater knowldege of the right pub, any of the weekends is ok, looking forward to seeing some of you again, and more for the first time at this one.

    P.S, Otis, I'm around most weeknights and usually in the mood to check out some of the venues......for research purposes of course.

    Ive got a better idea- why don't ye all come to Sligo for a weekend!? My floor can sleep an infinite number of bodies, we'll probably have most of the pubs to ourselves, and I'll keep the oven full of pizza and chicken wings :D

    Any Date Is Good For Me
    McTurcaill's is a great pub. It's also well within walk/falling distance of my house. This'd be my first ever Boards beers if the date does work out! Be gentle.

    I'm all for going to the same pub as the last time,
    selfishly enough because I have a vague notion of where it is now!
    (Larianne..may need you to sat nav me again from wherever the beers is to the crossy over the bridge part of Dublin!:pac:)

    McTurcaills is beside Pearse St Garda Station P and is a stones throw from Doyles where we were after The Duke at the last one.

    If MacTurcaills give us that round alcove bit it would encourage mingling as people won't get trapped into corners and feel rude moving about. It's also nice and central for all, even close enough to the hostels that most of our country brethren stay in.

    If you're going with MacTurcaills I wouldn't go with the alcove. It is

    a) too confined and will be difficult to mingle

    and

    b) WAY too far away from the bar! ;)

    Drink is cheap there though. €3.50 pints. I'd suggest any area near the bar, the section on the right as you go in the door at Tara Street. :)

    Would MacTurcaills suit the split we normally try to get? (i.e somewhere quiet to begin with and then somewhere for the late night crowd). IIRC when I was last there on a Saturday, the music was fairly loud from 10 onwards.

    Nice place and I'd have no problem going there. Just thinking of the others!

    It attracts a large amount of beautiful women, so it does have that going for it too :pac:

    Its been a while since Ive been in it on a Saturday night however myself and Im sure a few other volunteers will take one for the team and investigate it before hand.

    Re when,it was split between the 19th and 26th so Im going to call the 26th.

    Reason being its month end and most folk will have gotten paid around then.

    But it's a circle of mingling opportunities rather than pokey corners of seclusion!
