Alcohool competititon?

Mr.Nice Guy

A winning combination! Alcohol + Pool = Alcohool. I think it's time we had ourselves a nice Alcohool competition in UCD and I'm going to throw out the idea officially here for you all. The last meet-up was a bit of a disaster for lots of people who weren't quite sure where to meet up so this one needs to be organised better. I figured we should have a thread like this where we sort out the nitty gritty details such as:

What day shall it take place and at what time?

I suggest Thursday, 10th November at around noon.

Where shall we meet?

This is the tricky one. I suggest The Blob and that someone maybe wears something really distinctive so they are easily identified.

OK, so those are my two suggestions. If anyone has any other ideas feel free to post them up!

If we can agree on the details then we can set up an offical thread pointing out the date, time and the area to meet at. Your thoughts?

*raises hand*

The fact that after tonight's flurry of posting activity I'm the 1st to say ''f**k yeah'' doesn't look very good.

We need more alcos like me.... c'mon people!!!

Ah why are these always on Thursdays? That's one of the days I'm in 9-4 straight.

Mr.Nice Guy

Good man, Zane. It's high time the Zanemeister and the Nice Dude met at long last.:D

Well, I don't know about other years but as a 2nd Year Arts student I have a few essays to hand in ranging from Monday-Wednesday so I figured either Thursday or Friday would be better as people would be able to stay around and relax without stresssing over exams. I don't really mind but I figure it's best to have it near the end of the week.:o

Would love to go (be sure to wear something distinctive! ) but thursdays at noon aint great for me. That said i'll pop down whenever i'm done

Mr.Nice Guy

Bump.;)

beanyb

I cant go because I'm going to amsterdam that day (yay!) but I'm just going to point out that the blob is a bad idea. Everyone arranges to meet there so there's always so many people around! It's hard enough to meet people there that you actually know already. Somewhere with less people around should really be considered.

orangerooster

I'll be at it, time and day suit me so I'll more than likely be there.

Mr.Nice Guy

If the day and time are alright with people then let us sort out the meeting place. As beanyb said, The Blob is where lots of people tend to meet up.

Anybody got any other suggestions?

^ the most obvious place is to meet outside near the entrance to the bar. Not too many people tend congregate out there.

Don't the smokers congregate there?

outside bar on the steps into the restaurant...
bring a piece of fruit and hold it in your left hand --i reccommend an orange for its high visibility properties!

BKtje

hmmm that might be a sight to see. 10 of us holding oranges or bananas and still not talking to eachother

Chinafoot

I was actually going to suggest the steps into the restaurant.:D

I think that's a good idea but the fruit?:o

Got a better idea, sunshine?

Me, I don't need the fruit. I've posted god-knows-how-many pics on this site, in Know Your Nerds and on my weblog. So anyone who fails to recognise me is just being lazy tbh.:cool:

Yeah, yeah... Arrogance personified.

Sh*t, that is a better idea actually...:o

You may have won this round, MNG, but I shall return to wreak my revenge!

... Or I'll just turn up on thursday with a bottle of water and we'll call it quits. Whatever.

Scraggs

feck ye anyway... fruit is far more entertaining!!
and water outside a bar?!!.... I dunno...at least the fruit serves a purpose by lining the stomach whereas water...thats not the kinda hydration i want at an alcohool fest

I'm going to the main beers on Saturday anyway. I'd have to agree that it's handy because everything's organised (And it's on at a time I can go )

I may be working in my slave labour job on Thursday but if I'm not I'm sure I'll be able to pop along and cram in some alchohol abuse into my zero hours of college on Thursday.

Ah sure it's important to take a break from working every now and again. Trust me. Because I understand the importance of taking a break so well, I've given up on working altogether.;)

Mr.Nice Guy

Bump!

So who's able to make it on Thursday?

BKtje
