Beers on Friday?

Jack B. Badd

I believe there was talk of beers for this Friday. Is that still going ahead? I mean, I'll be drunk but it'd be nice to have some company...

wish I could join ya, but I am too far away and wouldnt make it in time

dahamsta

Mmmm beer. It's been a while.

Blitzkrieger

I'll be there but I'm not sure what time. I'll have to see how many commitments I can wiggle my way out of........

Where is there anyway? The Franciscan leaves a bit of a walk if we end up in Purgatory afterwards. The LV has a lot of the same beers and is just over the river. How about going there?

dahamsta

I pass LV regularly in my car and all I see is tossers. Sorry.

JohnK

Its been a while since I had a good proper piss up

Jack B. Badd

So we need someplace that
a) isn't full of tossers,
b) has reasonably good pints,
c) is reasonably near to Purgatory and
d) isn't the Brog.
Oh, and e) is ginger friendly...

Suggestions anyone?

dahamsta

It's an impossible dream!

Jack B. Badd

Ah, but you forget that my religion requires that I do 6 impossible things before breakfast! (God, I shouldn't be allowed to watch Voyager...or tell Robert Beltran that he's cool ) Where was I? Oh yes, a reasonably decent pub for Friday's beers... Is The Gateway too far away?

Yes, I suggest that you explain 'ginger friendly' to me

dahamsta

Too far away from Purgatory? Is that the new black? I'm too old to go to places like that, people will start taking videos and posting them to GoogleTube with captions like "Mark Foley Spotted In Cork".

Tree

trilo

I am ginger, therefore I don't need any non-gingers giving me hassle... Got it?

dahamsta

Foxy nana. Heh.

adam /naughty

Jack B. Badd

Yeah yeah, ye're all jealous of the foxy! Live with it, fools

dahamsta

TBH I have a foxy beard, but at least I have the sense to never let it grow.

Jack B. Badd

Tbh I've never fancied being the strange bald chick of the group so the long flowing lock stay! Anyway, pintage and it's location. Time grows short, people...

dahamsta

I've always fancied being the strange bald man, but I'm actually going in the other direction at the moment. Perhaps when I go to some dodgy country where the less hair the better applies. Aaaaanyway, beer...

Tree

i suggest town, after half nine

Jack B. Badd

Where in town? Did I mention "not the Brog"? Erm, The Slate is...*searches for the correct word*...ok.

JohnK

Christ you lot are a picky bunch! :rolleyes: What ever happened to looking for a bar that served alcohol and being damn glad of it?!?!?!?

Jack B. Badd

JohnK's house it is then! Better make a few trips to the offie before we descend, John...

JohnK

Ah, but my house isn't a bar so its exempt

Jack B. Badd

Nonetheless...

Tree

i like the slate wehn they dont get anal about my id, grrrrr

Fysh

My suggestions :

Slate
Newport (might be the wrong name - that place near the bottom of Barrack street near the copshop)
The green place across the road from Scotts
An Spailpin Fanac (or however the name's bloody spelt)
Nancy Spains

Any takers for any of the above?

(IF I was able to afford booze, I'd say it's time for another crawl. But guess who's short on cash...nonetheless, a crawl in the near future is a good idea)

JohnK

Now now Fysh, that's what money lenders are for. Its not like you actually need your kneecaps is it?

Tree

gateway is the joint by the garda barracks on barrack st. the newport is an awful awful pub on paul street.
i rather like the gateway, havent been up there in a few months. and walking all the way up there will save me a few mins of drinking time....

the ovens is the green place across from scotts.

dahamsta

They have Erdinger in the Gateway. Nuff said.

Blitzkrieger

They have Erdinger pretty much everywhere now. The Gateway it is so? I'd say it'll be 10 before I get there.

dahamsta

Not on tap Blitz.

Jack B. Badd

Didn't I already suggest the Gateway only to have it shot down...? This is blatant anti-gingerism, this is!
/me sighs, but me likes the Gateway so me does not complain too much

Blitzkrieger

Next thing you'll be saying the penguins are the source of the anti-ginger conspiracy.....

Jack B. Badd

¬_¬
Now that you mention it, that makes an awful lot of sense...

Fysh

I'll have to update my missive Penguins : The Hidden Menace to include their history in creating and then dooming the Daywalker race...

Jack B. Badd

Dooooooomed... I feel sad now

dahamsta

Listen lads and lasses, less of the banter now. The rest of the regional forums will be upset by their inability to generate a smile.

Tree

awwww, poor other forums

gateway at ten, huzzah!! i shall be there with my hat on

Jack B. Badd

I'll prolly head up earlier if I have company. Who shall join me?!

Tree

nooone loves you enough... in fact, ill meet you at cissies... ummm yeah, i eh may be a few hours late....

Blitzkrieger

Looks like I might be home from work an hour earlier than I thought so I might make it for 9. A whole extra hours drinking/talking bollox/making fun of ging<H<H<H<H people. Is dudara going to make it or are we really going to pore beer on the floor in her honour?

dahamsta

Ten? Who the f*ck goes to a pub at ten for christ's sake? Ye'll be in there at 11am and ye'll LIKE it!

Tree

\o.

Jack B. Badd

I will see you at 11am so, hamster boi @) <- cyclops smilie

Actually I've got a meeting at 11 but that's not the point! What time seriously then?

Jack B. Badd

8ish? 9ish?

JohnK

I'd say 8.30 would be about the earliest I could make it

dahamsta

I like to be in the pub by five or six, otherwise I doze off and back out, but I guess I should be able to hold off until eight.

Jack B. Badd

Eight it is then
Drinkies drinkies drinkies...

JohnK

Is it still the gateway for tonight then?
