    Short notice I know, but put it down to me being a useless fecker. Anyway. Beers? Friday? I'll be back in the country as of Thursday evening. Oh, and if anyone's got JohnK's number in Waterford, get him to come down too. It's only an hour on the bus :D

    I can't drink this weekend. How long are you around for? Blitz was planning on organising a trip to flicks Friday week or so. Something suitably awful, Hitman or summat.

    Only around 'til Sunday, although I suppose we could be experimental and try some sort of non-beverage related outing. Have you permission to eat? Could try going for food instead...

    Hey, I might not actually look half bad in a Speedo these days. You like to Scuba?

    Stuck this earlier.

    I was going to suggest a meet up over the Christmas, specifically because it's been a while since one was suggested on here, and also because I haven't met any of you.

    I can bring speedos, but it would probably be best if I didn't...

    Mrs. Roundy is off to a hen night, may God have mercy on her soul, so I'll have to stay within falling distance of home.

    You're right, I do.

    We have to think of the Westies though (and not the ones who live(d) in Spain).

    Venue? Franciscan Well, or elsewhere?

    I can't, unfortunately. I'm kinda tied to the 30th of this month or the 21st of next.

    (NOTE: There will be a return to Frist Firday from around the end of February next year. Long term preparation for the stag and all that.)

    a day, as yet to be decided, between christmas day and new years day would be most convenient.

    in the unlikely event of us getting large numbers of guaranteed yes's prior to the event we can see if we can scab some free munch somewhere.

    I'm afraid that rules me out :(

    I have a best man speech to give on the 27th, and the following day is earmarked for a session in East Cork, a post marital post mortem as it were.

    My apologies guys, I was looking forward to this.

    I'm on the early morning shift at work until Christmas, and the staff party is this Sat. So unless either Sunday, or the following weekend (22/23) is chosen then I'll likely have to pass. Family wedding on the 28th, so that rules those few days out.

    Christmas weddings are de rigeur these days, it seems ;)

    I can do either of those dates, would have to take the Monday off, but needs must.

    I guess I could make just abot any date between this and then as long as I remember on the night that I have to be up around 6.40 the next morning :) Should make one or two sociables possible.

    So g'wan, count me in for whenever is finally decided. Unless I change my mind again.

    I'm going to drop a PM to the following (please let me know if I've missed anyone, by either telling me to PM them, or posting here if it's yourself I've forgotten):

    Fast Mover, Ned78, Femmy, agamemnon, The Scientist, daveirl:

    Blitzkrieger, Tree, Fysh, dahamsta, aidan, all_smilz; you guys are already on board or have expressed an interest, I take it?

    It's looking like the 20th, guys, pub crawl type of thing I assume?

    Ouhh..I would be very much up for this! Especially as I finished up college a week ago and have no exams. Would also be good to put faces on names and shur who can refuse alcohol?!:D
    Im 60% in for now as I may have to head to Waterford with friends to celebrate their finishing of exams.

    Would love to go to this but it will depend on whether or not I've finished up at work by then (I'm very busy at the moment trying to get things done by Christmas). I'll let ye know how it goes.

    @ Roundy - I'm from Youghal as well so if I can't make it I might see you around town over the hols.

    I'd almost consider popping down myself... would I have to put on a Cork accent to be allowed to attend?

    I did live with 2 Cork people for a year.. so I think I have the gist of the syntax...

    Not really, but you probably know me to see. I saw you mention Youghal in one of your posts, so I checked out your Bebo page and recognised you. All will be revealed soon enough.

    @Monkeyfudge - come on down!
