    OK beers this friday at the infamous OConnells in Eyre Square...Whos in?:)

    Friday 8th @ 8pm?

    I'd probably be up for heading in for a pint or two, I usually go out on friday nights anyway.

    Anything with drink usually wins outright lol!! Would be up for Beers sometime too.

    Bowling is fun i.m.o. if it's not an activity a person enjoys so be it, c'ést la vie, on we go! Can't do anymore than that unless anyone has any suggestions for other things to do. :) But some do actually enjoy it. :) Would love to do beers if anyone is going.

    I live a fair distance from city myself, and know it's hassle for anything on in the city, but there's ways around that sometimes! Because of a couple of questionable troll-esque posts prancing about the place; - it's causing nothing but ~un-necessary~ negativity, :( is possibly off-putting for anyone that might like to get involved, and it's now also starting to cause annoyance.

    I'd much rather try and get something happening, and if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen, and I'd most likely try for it again another time too! :) But would much prefer to be contributing and participating rather than messing about at the following carry-on; -



    ***I'm making an effort to try organize something and have to put up with this crap!***

    I don't even want to go bowling now, the good has gone out of it lol.
    :(:(

    just relax, this is the internet. don't go getting mad at a pc monitor (or laptop if thats how you choose to live your life)

    But....it wasn't you that started this thread, why do you say you're making the effort to organise it like they're derailing your thread?? :confused: And that penguin isn't trolling or "crap", it's quite an accurate representation of what goes on in these threads!


    Accurate is mentionned here, yet this post itself doesn’t seem too accurate. Those penguins ducks need to be lined up in the one row there to start with! (Like what I did with that?!) :D I put about organizing bowling this week in here as it’s a current related one. I never said/implied I started this Thread at all, or likened it as mine. :( Would have been nice to know what exactly that post was about, it's questionable that it's un-fairly written, but life isn't fair according to William Goldman! This slant of the discussion is about Nights so far and the collection of similar Threads in general, it’s not about 1 Thread. Never said anything about the penguin at all either by the way. Everyone posts as they wish, like they are entitled to do so, in fact I like the penguin. :)

    All I’m pointing out lol, is just that in my view the constant consistent continuous going on about stuff being cancelled is off-putting, dis-heartening, draining, etc. It definitely doesn’t sound good for any new Boardsies coming along that might potentially want to get involved and participate. Surely these aspects are plain/clear to be see? :confused: It’s purely negative, and of no benefit to anything, that’s why I’m concluding, that with no purpose, - simply being nothing more than needless and un-nececessary – it is a waste / crap! Isn’t it supposed to be onwards and upwards lol, not a downward spiral ...... :confused:

    But I've learned that there's no point trying to make a point sometimes!

    Appreciate your concern for my welfare but would appreciate more not being told what to do or not to do when replies are supposed to be based on posts not posters! ;)

    Not mad at all, it's not something to get mad about, as it's highly likely and possible it'll be brought up again and again and maybe even again!! :D So why waste energy getting mad about it! I'm just concerned that the continuity aspect of repetitive-ness is influencing and is likely to be viewed un-favourably. This is the public domain with everyday use, I'm of the opinion it mightn't be the place for constant consistent one-sided purely dis-couraging ways, it's not going to stop further posts, just my opinion.

    I think this discussion has ran its' course anyway, possibly may even be locked soon, but if it's felt it's needed to be batted about more, continue on and on and on and Ariston!!! :)

    Crap that it didn't work out. We'll try a Beers in a while and see how that works out.

    I can't go to Beers this week as I'm off on holiday Friday night/Saturday morning but would love to make it to any other ones organised...I'd love to organise lunch/casual dinner sometime but I tried that before and it turned into a night out getting smashed within a couple of pages!

    We did a girls night of tapas and drinks before that went really well, about 15 girls showed up, and we did lunch in the G another time, movie & food too, I'd definitely be up for something like this again if anyone is interested. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 630 ✭✭✭mazthespark


    id be totally up for a beers whenever :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 fepradella


    I'm new in Galway and I'm up too :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Galway K9

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    Should we start a new thread for it? Just to make it more visible to people who don't check this thread.

    A friend of mine who's new to boards said she might tag along

    I should make it along too. Not a huge poster here in galway city (or actually anywhere else) but it would be great to meet new people :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    So are people heading to O'Connells tonight then?

    Edit: Since it's 10 to 8 now, I'm going to assume that's a no. I'm meeting a friend in O'Connells for pints around 9/half 9, so if anyone ends up going come say hello. I have purple hair so I should be easy to find :D.
