Would tomorrow night be too soon? Saturday?


If it's any consolation, awareness of mental health issues has leaped forwards in recent years, and I reckon almost everyone has at least one mental health issue anyway. So don't stress it. Come to the beers and you'll have at least one person who won't leave you hanging by yourself.

I think the group I went with were friends already or at least knew it each other outside of boards so that feeling of intruding did hit

Doesn't matter how tall a man stands Fred, or heavy a man walks. Equilibrium. Over to makkikomi... He'll explain.

You sound too lovely, and now I am glad you are not coming, I would only disappoint your expectations (but try to come).

As for the rest of us, we should make some kind of serious plan. Flannery's on Saturday, does that work? It's reasonably quiet around 8pm even on a Saturday.

If you’re not dressed head to toe in tweed I’ll be very disappointed.

If you don’t arrive in a set of “inverted commas” then I’ll be disappointed...

I’ll quote myself from earlier .....

Reminder on the night out to make sure that you confirm the adjacent stalls are empty of fellow lavatarians (especially JohnnyFlash), before unleashing any devils dumplings ; lest you spawn another ‘etiquette’ thread

A meet up on Camden Street sounds ideal to me, and not just because it’s a 6 minute walk from my place

Walking distance for me too, neighbour. We can shove the rest of them into taxis. So what are we saying about a date and time?

Is the party in her house? Just the one toilet? I'd say the throne will see some action. Absolutely minging by the end of the day. Probably serving rich and starchy food too with a few of the older relatives looking for tea and coffee. If it was my house I'd put plastic sheeting down around the toilet and a little fluorescent sign asking people to remember to wash their hands.

I shall put on my best shoes!!

Only re-regged this evening and she's already starting threads about Boards beers. Notions!

Anyone attended one in the past? How were they organised? Anyone up for it? QUESTIONS!

No. There's no camaraderie here anymore. It's just journos trolling for clickbait article ideas now.

You had me until Flannery's. A more woejus kip I have never been to in my life.

You’re not from the country then, I take it, D?

Country folk love nothing more than squeezing into a packed Flannerys before making their way to a packed Cooper Faced Jacks.

I’m not sure where the “attraction” lies but, if I had to guess, I’d say it’s from growing up in vast open, isolated, spaces so when they hit the “big smoke” they want to get as close to other people as possible.

If you’re looking to meet people, possible for the first time, and to have a bit of a chat I can think of nowhere worse than one of the most popular, outside of Templebar, pubs in Dublin.

But good luck to the attendees, hope it’s a good night.

Is Flannerys a bit of a hole then?

It depends. What's your opinion on GAA jerseys outside of match days?

It’s not a hole, it’s just a particularly popular spot. “Cassidys”, “Devitts”, “Ryans” or “Camden Exchange” would all be, in my opinion, better suited for this sort of “meet up”.

It’s a culchie sweat shop type pub with watery beer, brutal music and a muck savage clientele. The toilets can be gross.
But apart from that it’s grand.

Deebles McBeebles

As someone who won't be there and is from the country, I'd go Cassidys. F*ck Flannerys.

Even the most culchie of culchies can find Cassidys too so it makes it easier.

So have we decided on a date and venue yet?

I agree that most of the keyboard warriors types won’t bother to show up, lest they be actually challenged on their opinionated ranty posts. Would be great to finally put face to usernames. I do know a few boardsies in the real world but not through a boards meet up.
