Beer session - 28th of July

Fysh

As adam mentioned in the cake thread, we should go for beers. The 28th of July was mentioned so I figure we'll roll with that.

And in case anyone needs a reason for these things, we can treat it as a warm-up to finally getting JohnK blind drunk and kicking him onto the plane that'll take him to Oz.

(also possibly as the warm-up to getting rid of me when I disappear off too, though I'd prefer less kicking please)

Blitzkrieger

Sounds good but I'm not sure if I'll be away that weekend yet. Might just be getting up ridiculously early to drive to dublin........


*reads the cake thread

A chance to drink beer in front of Adam when Adam can't drink himself. Now I really want to go!

Jack B. Badd

Ooohhh, that'll be my next weekend off and I will soooo be in the mood for teh beers!

dahamsta

But.... but..... I can't have beer!

I think you should all go out and drink water, in honour of my 35th!

adam

Fysh

Adam, why can't you have beer?

Tree

my guess would be either diet or antibiotics or setting a good example for someone

i should prolly be around for one or two i suppose.

Ah bog off, like anyone here would read your blog even if they could keep track of all the god-awful pun-based domain names you've registered over the years :P

Mental note : ensure beers involves only pubs with the mankiest possible toilets. Unfortunately, this may mean going to the Brog...

dahamsta

It's not a blog. It couldn't be, since I'm a blogopho.be. Christ you're thick!

Mmmm...the irony, it is delicious! (Not as much as cake and beer though :P)

dahamsta

Mmmmmm, cake....

A quality pub, but you're right, the toilets make some pigsties look hygienic...

You're not allowed to go to the Bróg. That is all.

JohnK

Count me in but less of the kicking please!!!

dahamsta

I'm supposed to go to see Kevin McAleer in the Savoy on Saturday before I hook up with you lot, is anyone else up for it? Not sure whether to book tickets or now.

Alternative suggestions welcome. Since I can't drink, just shouting at ye won't be enough.

adam

pid()

Damn, I'd love to join you guys for this but I'm busy. Another time!

JohnK

So... when and where people?

Tree

given that i origiannly thought the 28th was today i didnt realise i had plans for the same night already, therefore i will be at a friend's bday dinner and girly drinkies. might pop by if someone texts me their position.

dahamsta

I'm going to Mizen Head for the day, so if ye're out ye'd want to send me a text too. If I get back as far as Cloyne I ain't going back to town!

adam

Fysh

Gah, forgot I hadn't said a time & place. I nominate the Slate for 8:30/9ish. I will be texting the regular crowd to try and get people along...

Fysh

Well that failed miserably, everyone's either in Dublin, not answering texts, or unable to read a calendar (and thus double booked the evening).

Feh. I blame the crappy weather, myself. Certainly it couldnt be down to my feeble phoning-it-in attempt at organisation this time around...

dahamsta

When's John going away again?

Jack B. Badd

I have been robbed of my pints!

JohnK

Flying out on the 24th of Sept so its a little over 8 weeks

dahamsta

Bugger, I won't be able to drink then either.

JohnK

Thats just not good enough Adam

Jack B. Badd

Perhaps we can combine leaving bashes as myself and "the twit known as Fysh" (his words, not mine) are departing at the end September too

And appartently it is to be Captain Planet themed! :rolleyes:

FFS, I can't eat either.

So presumably the first Friday of September, inline with tradition?

Who the hell would want to eat Captain Planet?

dahamsta

Gah, I was thinking of Captain Americas.

Are yerself and the twat eloping or something?

Jack B. Badd

Or something... :rolleyes:

dahamsta

Oooh rolley eyes, did I touch a nerve?

Blitzkrieger

Well I knew Kyle was leaving, but why captain planet? I was under the impression none of us were homosexual and/or mentally handicapped. If we have to wear rings and shout 'heart', I'm not going.......

If there's 3 of us leaving then Adam has no excuse for not drinking

Captain Planet because I've developed a minor fascination with the character while working on a comic spoof in the vein of my other superhero strips. And no, you don't have to expose your ring or shout "heart" so all will be ok...

F*ck, I thought all of us fit into one or other category. Sure I'm gay as christmas, and Fysh is a complete f*cktard.

Anyway, where are ye off to?

Ah now adam, you've seen my selection of shirts and, well, we've heard your idea of a good conversation. Let's just be nice and admit that both of us fall squarely into both categories.

As for where we're off to, the bright lights and drug-dealer-filled streets of London have summoned us...

dahamsta

Nice. What date should we look forward to?

dahamsta

That's a month Blitz, not a date.

adam /pats blitz on the head

Blitzkrieger

Ah - you want to be pacific. Boy is my face red.


No, really. I'm sunburned.


The first friday of september seems awfully far away for beers.

Fysh

Yep, so why don't we say last Saturday's beers are now taking place this Friday (first friday of August, natch). For the sake of a place and time I'll suggest the Bierhaus at 8pm, although anyone who wants to turn up earlier probably won't be kicked out by Dave....

Sound like a plan?

JohnK

Unlikely I'll be able to make that; I might be able to make it in later on during the night but its doubtful.

Tree

bier! \o/

Blitzkrieger

Sounds good to me. For some reason I feel there's something else on that I can't think of right now but something always clashes with boards beers.

Blitzkrieger

*bump

So who else is going? I presume since JohnK said he'd be doubtful he'll be the first one there.

dahamsta

The idea of watching you lot get pleasantly f*cked while I spend half my time queueing at the bar for effing water, and the other half p*ssing it back out again, isn't driving me wild with excitement. However I must have a chat with Sascha anyway, so I'll drag him in to amuse... sorry, abuse ye, and I'll stay long enough to see how bad ye get after a few.

adam

dahamsta

BTW, there's something else to celebrate on Friday, although it'll only be a stopgap until I can go out on the piss properly:

I asked LittleMissMelodrama to marry me on Garryvoe strand on Saturday morning, and when she stopped laughing at me and calling me names she said yes; you know, just to cheer me up cos I couldn't have a birthday party an' all. She still hasn't retracted it via the post, in triplicate as per my requirements, so I reckon ye should have a wee toast while ye still can.

adam

Fysh

Good stuff! Congratulations fella, god only knows how you found someone who can put up with you but the main thing is don't let her go!

Edited to add
You don't have a younger brother called Vinnycos, by any chance, do ya?
