I'll be your friend if you buy me a pint
Seriously, we are a good crowd. Post here some more, initiate a pub visit or such and I'm sure there'll be a few boardsters there.
PM louisecm or 440Hz, both new to Galway too.

Other than that, take a course, get a local, ...

I could do with more than one friend and a few aquaintances.

Working from home does limit meeting more people.

Boards beer sounds relatively good. Only when I'm not working, of course.

That's literally all I know, apart from that. I'd say try ringing them and asking for more info.

Yes, PM me. We can meet up, and worst case scenario you'll only have to pretend to like me for a half an hour or so and then we can politely go our seperate ways.

I suggest Friday 31 August 9pm in Blue Note smoking area. Wear something camo.
Or the day before, either suits me anyway.

Yeah, I'm becoming a pain in the hole now, as I can't do that Friday because of the wonder that is Electric Picnic. Mayhaps you should all go on without me.

Got me thinking of the old joke:
Q - How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A - (Sigh) Don't bother, I'll just sit here in the dark, I don't want to be a nuisance to anybody.

I'll put up a new Beers thread with a few pubs and dates. There should be an old one here somewhere to copy. Syxpak can change it if need be.
