    Ugh I just realised I have to get up at 6am Finnish time which is 4am Irish time, then get a bus, a plane and another bus. I should be back in Galway around 5 or 6 I think so if others are interested in a few cans beforehand maybe we could arrange to meet somewhere? If I don't just fall asleep and miss the whole thing.
    I nominate this as your karaoke song :pac:

    What are the bye laws like for street drinking in Galway? I'd presume with it being a place full of dirty smelly students and hippies that it's OK?

    If its in a plastic glass you usually never get any hassle.

    also: just got my rota from work and I can make it!

    Drinking on the street is fine. I've walked past gardai holding a bottle of bucky and they didn't say anything.

    As long as you're not acting the arse, then it should be OK to drink in public.

    This is pretty much it.

    Much like Boards.ie, the rule of thumb in Galway tends to be "Don't be a dick" and you're grand.

    I've booked the area for 8pm (if another lovely mod is reading they might add that to the title?) but I'd say there'll be a few on the booze before that.

    I only get in from the states the day before so I'll be jet lagged and therefore pissed after one drink!

    :) Four pints? I am normally tipsy after two and a half so I imagine by four, I would be telling the barmen I loved them and you would have to drag me out of there. Anyway, it would be a great plan if I lived in Galway but unfortunately, I don't.

    Well there after 4 if ye aren;t in love with the barman then you can call it a night.
    Well thats graaaaand Just bunk up with someone. Get a hostel with one of the crew travelling over or sleep on our sitting room floor. I think we have a double inflatable airbed lying around.
