    What's the worst that could happen? You don't like people. So you have 1 drink and call it a day. I've met some really sound people at these things.

    Should we combine the two? Have an official boards.ie bake off followed by celebratory beers? Or am I being an event management beast again?

    It just wouldn't work - I think the best thing is drinks in February/March and then maybe a picnic in April/May

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    woah woah!, it;s actually going ahead!?

    "I was bluffing!!!!! I hate meeting people"<runs away>


    ah no. I feel I should say if you cant go then that's fine, but speaking as a person who's gone to these things before take my advice: PLEASE don't not go just because your worried.
    Once you get there and start chatting all your preconceptions go out the window in about 5 seconds, believe me.

    I'd love to go, just need to know the place and time so I can arrange it. I'd actually be more nervous about going down and walking around Dublin on my own than anything else! :o

    I'd say once I get there I'll be relaxed quite quickly with a drink in my hand. I dunno what that says about me exactly, but I'm sure to some it speaks volumes!

    We were all like that at some stage. I was still printing Google Maps up until recently. I'm sure someone will meet you or something if you're unsure of your way.

    It may be blind leading the blind, but if I'm going I can meet you at one of the train stations or whatever.

    I sorta know my way around the main parts of Dublin, I was there a fortnight ago! It's not getting lost that I'm worrying about, it's being on my lonesome in the big city where some unsavoury character might mug me or beat me up or something! :eek: <hyperventilates>

    If it's in March that would suit me better but if everyone else prefers the end of Feb then so be it. Just my two penneth worth. :)

    Are we aiming for a weekend or is any day of the week an option? Working Mon - Fri 9-5, a Saturday would be much more suitable.

    I'd be in Dublin anyway so that works for me. I'll be with other gays and some straights though, I suppose I could slip away from them for an hour to have a drink with all you's lot! :D

    Any of the February dates suit me.
    Not Paddy's day though, as I'll most likely be gone home :(

    I'd have to try and wrangle the night off work for it, but I'd love to head up just to meet some other boardsies! Any weekend really barring the Paddy's Day weekend suits me, tbh. Just so I know so I can get the night off work, and Friday would probably suit me better too.

    If you hadn't have said anything, no-one probably would have known and you could have joined in!

    Well, you're 17, you can come and have a bag of crisps and some brown lemonade or something!

    What the hell is brown lemonade? That sounds horrendous, I'll have some pork scratchings and a 220ml bottle of Pepsi that cost €2.50!

    You don't know what brown lemonade is? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_lemonade

    I'm only 27, but you just made me feel about 60! I thought it was a whole Ireland thing, not just in the north. Or you're just too feckin' young! Kids today...! :D

    yeah, I'm 30 this year and never heard of it. I think though, from looking at it, it's similar to our red lemonade which is the drink of the (very hyper) gods. it's like footballers special. Now that's a drink. Scary stuff. Although up in Donegal I did buy a can of "Pussy" energy drink. I kid you not.

    Sure I've seen a special hello kitty edition Of roxana deodorant - the scent is 'pussy wind' no word of a lie! Not in Ireland but I've seen roxana. Perhaps it was Spain....

    Feb 18 is the day of the boards.ie nocturnal forum (and Gentlemen's Club forum?) beers.

    Feb 25 is the day of a major trans conference in Waterford.

    Paddy's day might not be the best time to hold it, though it doesn't represent a problem for me.

    Anyone have any thoughts on letting the pole run for another while or settling on the two most popular dates for now. It's still only January, so we still have awhile yet.
