rebelabu · 03-03-2012 11:16pm

Ya, a bit saucy alright but dinner included!!! Heading along to it so will post the main points later in the week.

Went to go to one in kilkenny but there looked to be only about 7-10 people there and didnt go in. Youd have to feel for the lads running it..

Was this in Langtons?

I heard something about one in there and sent an email to Langtons looking for some info on it as I could not see anything online about it.

They never replied.

Yeah there was one in there last night. Paddy Mullins, Andrew McNamara, Davy Russell and Shark were among the panal from what I was told. Also heard Davy was in fantastic form, as always.

And Monets Garden!

stuttgartkelly · 05-03-2012 4:30pm

Anyone going to Rush tonight? It'll be nteresting to hear what Andrew Lynch makes of Sizing Australia's weight in the Cross Country. He seems overpriced imo with the 2 Mullins horses having question marks over them. Would have him closer to favouritism.

kfallon · 05-03-2012 5:39pm

Anyone at the one in Stillorgan last night?

Nulty · 05-03-2012 9:38pm

I was there. Davy Russel said the Triumph is a ****e race and he has no time for it. Couldn't make out if he just meant this year or not. I think he feels the same about the bumper - not real national hunt races.

Jese he's a real preview night whore this year isnt he. Seems to have been in every single report i've read

Gavin "shels" · 06-03-2012 2:34am

Anyone going to the one in Cafe En Seine on Thursday? Probably pop along myself since it's free and I'm not in work.

Anyone know what age it is in there? And roughly how much is a pint (supposedly it's a joke)?

It'd generally be 21's and you'd be looking at 5.15 a pint if memory serves me correctly.
Who's lined up to attend as a matter of interest??

If someone was willing to pay you 4 figures cash to talk sh1te for a few hours would you turn them down?

Conan The Contrarian · 06-03-2012 12:49pm

Brady's of Shankill - tonight from 6.30pm. Hearing rumours Colm Murphy is the special guest they've lined up. Hardly ever does any of these gigs, apparently - might be worth checking out. €20 on the door, free booze, food and PP bets... http://www.johnbradygroup.ie/index.php/bradys-of-shankill/cheltenham-preview-night/

Between the free pint, food and bets, it's only costing you a fiver to hear them - pretty good value.

€5.15 is workable, 21's is a pain as my mate is only 19.:mad:
