    I'd love to go but would be sh*tting it - never been to one & dont know anyone!! How does it work? Do people say who they are or do you stay anonymous?

    I'm gonna go for the 1st time and yeah i agree will prob be a bit "weird" meeting people who you have probably spoken to many times on here for the first time but alcohol is the great conversation lubricant :D

    I remember a few years ago I was in a friends house having beers.

    Her mother arrived home from her Xmas party or some other shìte laughing about all these people she saw in The Palace.

    "This bunch of Internety people were all carrying around cans of condensed milk. The feckin eejits. I think someone said they from a website called Boards or something."

    I pretended not to know what it was and oh how we laughed at the saddos meeting people from the internet...




    See you all November 1st. :pac:

    For those wondering if their nerves will stop them from coming along for the first time, it'll be okay! Many of the first-timers have gotten in touch with each other before at previous beers and met to have a chat/drink before moving on to the beers itself (support in numbers and all that), so there's an idea some of you might take on board if it suits. There are usually one or two regulars who would be happy to meet up and put your fears at ease :)


    p.s. Liz really is incredibly sensible, doesn't even know where Coppers is...


    once 1am comes along though, different story haha.

    I'll have you know I've only been in coppers 2 times in my entire life!! And only one of those times was after a beers :p

    Seriously, for anyone who's a little bit nervous, don't be! Beers are always great craic, there are no cliques or anything like that and everyone is very welcoming.

    I think you shouldn't ask that question and just take your chances.

    Just how brave are you?

    Mod

    Hate having to do a mod note in a beers thread but I've just had to delete a load of off topic, cliquey posts. The exact reason the last beers thread was closed.

    Everyone is more than welcome to the beers, unfortunately flirty off topic chat leads people to become uncomfortable about attending beers. Take it to PM.
