Ghost Bus tour Saturday September 2nd?

ladybirdirl

Afternoon all,

Anyone fancy doing the ghost Bus tour on Saturday September 2nd? 9.30 tour so beers can be had before and after!

Cost: 25euro

Go on you know you want to and I have to stop talking and actually contribute something!

Ladybird:)

6th

Count me in, just checked the calender.

monkeyfudge

We could also do Bram Stoker beforehand actually.

6th

Ah surely the Bram needs a night to itself so we can pop into barcode and meet a very special Boardsie

stevenmu

The 2nd looks good for me too.

monkeyfudge

The 2nd is fine for me too by the way... can't do the following weekend as I'm in Budapest.

stormkeeper

I'm up for it, as as far as I know, I'm free.

Nevyn

Maybe.

stevenmu

Better to point this out sooner rather than later but that is the night of the Germany match. Kick-off is 7:45, should be finishing around 9:30-ish. Might make some people a bit reluctant to go, or say they'll go, then realise the match is on and not turn up.

Gillo

Hopefully, I don't want to give a definite as things have a habit of changing in the last few days. I more than likely be there.

ladybirdirl

Ah bugger the match (not literally obviously)

So what say you all, change the night or go with the chosen few we already have?

Ladybird:)

stevenmu

The same night is fine for me, if we're meeting for a few drinks before anyway we can meet somewhere that'll be showing it and then just miss the last few minutes

ladybirdirl

Steven my dear, do you really think I'm going to be able to drag all you boys away from the match to get on a bus after you've had a few drinks?

for that ridiculous suggestion I'm going to make you help me (I'm not quite sure how I will make you as I'm only little but I'll think of something)

We leave it at Satuday so! We need to get a few more going though, particularly the girlies

To do my best Mrs Doyle - go on go on go on

Monkeyfudge - budapest eh? Very nice. How come all of you lot get to go on holidays

stevenmu

I'm sure you will, the day women can't manipulate and bend men to their will, is going to be a great day for all humanity, but isn't likely to happen any time soon.

Oh it's for a boring work thing... I hates it!!! Nice city though.

Oh and I care not for the match... just make sure the pub serves Kopperberg.

Who are Germany playing anyway? I'd like to see them get beaten as I'll have to deal with a lot of German people the following week in Budapest.

Har har, I'll definetly think of something now!!:D

ladybirdirl

no idea who Germany are playing

Monkeyfudge, what pubs in town serve Kopperburg.?

Given that the tour starts on O'Connell st and as I've said before I'm only little so I'm not legging around town to find a bus, has anyone any suggestions for pubs? Being a southsider I wouldn't really know any of the pubs along O'Connell St

Ladybird

monkeyfudge

How about the Lotts pub on the corner of Lotts and Liffey Street? It used to be that African crafts place... it's nice, fairly close to O'Connell Street and they serve Kopperberg in the proper glasses and everything... oh and the Pina Coladas aren't bad either.

ladybirdirl

Think I know where you're on about, if I get lost I'll just ring all of you anyway.

sounds good to me - Lotts it is then! Good decision monkeyfudge!!:)

Pina coladas eh, the night could go rapidly downhill before it even starts!!

6th

All sounds good, I have a christening that day and its a good excuse to leave early .... well not a good excuse but an excuse none the less!

stormkeeper

Seems I'm going to Athlone with a mate that Friday and staying till Sunday, so can't make it now... soz

6th

Ok so what is the story with this, does it need to be booked in advance or can we just pay when we turn up at the bus?

Shinners23

Wow - I was just talkin to a friend yesterday saying how I've been meaning to do it for ages

Yes - count me in

6th

Yup that's right 6th. I need to book the tickets in the week leading up to the trip and I need to pay in advance obviously.Bit weak on the uptake but stopping short of bribery it looks like this is it!!

6th

So would you like cash before the night? maybe paypal or i could creep into your room at night and leave it on your pillow? Will we all buy our own?

I'm in town anyway so could go buy the tickets as long as i know people will show.

Gordon

Who you gonna call? Ghost Bus Tours!

6th

love it, though you may need to be slapped for that >_>

ladybirdirl

ooh bad pun I love it!!

I think I can get into town to get the tickets and I reckon paying on the night is easier, I'll just hound anyone who doesn't turn up!!

You're more experienced than I am at this prganising, what do you think 6th

6th

sure i'll try pick them up on monday if we can get numbers sorted, i'm only off capal street

stevenmu

How late can it be left to book, it's almost guaranteed that some people will pull out last minute and probably some will want to join up last minute too.

6th

I'd say we leave it til wednesday and screw anyone after that.

ladybirdirl

Don't know about that - the lovely girl in dublin bus was soo helpful. I'll ring again later and check it out

Ladybird

Shinners23

Guys, so sorry but I am now working on Electric Picnic.......well not so much working as drinkin!!!!

6th

Where are we with this?

ladybirdirl

I think we're down to 4. I don't know that Thaed is coming, shinners is out so it's

What say you all - go or not?

Ladybird

6th

I'm easy either way, so i'll see what happens. Poor show for this people - shame on you all!

Stoner

6th I've an exam on the monday, and I've been before , otherwise I'd go. I tried to get the walking tour one myself a while back, but the guy wont ring back!!!

ladybirdirl

Right then,

We give it till Wednesday and then decide. Anyone up for a few beers if this doesn't go ahead? And yes before you say it 6th, I will actually stick around this time

Ladybird:p

6th

Sure if we're gonna have beers than we may as well do the bus even with 4 of us i'm up for it!

ladybirdirl

Even if monkeyfudge is on the pina coladas and you're on that dodgy beer?

I don't mind, I'm up for it. Take a vote wednesday

monkeyfudge

Any chance we could do an earlier tour than the 9.30 one? As there is something else on that evening that requires my august presence.

ladybirdirl

Right lads - as it's just the famous 4 ( I know it's really famous 5 but there's only 4 of us)

do we do this or not? I'm up for just meeting for a few social beverages. Monkeyfudge has somewhere to be so what say you all

Ladybird

6th

Who's going again?

Ladybirdirl
6th
Stevenmu

sure i've booked the time off anyway so if its going ahead i'll still do it. Nice chance to meet starngers on the bus

ladybirdirl

so will we go do the ealier one and monkeyfudge can join us?

We need to go get the tickets - I can try to get in or if you're in town 6th would you get them please

I'll pm the likely lads and let you know how many to get

Ladybird

6th

What time is the earlier one at?

ladybirdirl

7.30 6th. You've a prior engagement don't you - can you make it for that

monkeyfudge

Any idea how long the tour takes?

Stoner

Lads even though I wont be there, I have done it before and it took about 2-3 hours, it was great value and it is a mixture of good entertainment, local dublin history and a some ghost stories, well worth just the 4 of you going as the guide does all the talking anyway, I've been on far worse ghost tours and not too many better, btw the darker the better

Oryx

I wont be making this one, as im too far away, and have to work that day. (Thanks for the pm ladybirdirl) Plus I have a wedding to go to the previous day, so I will be a bit the worse for wear (I hope). Good luck and enjoy.

monkeyfudge

Eeep... 2-3 hours... Any chance of doing this on the Friday or Sunday instead?
