Sligo Beers. The Mega Thread.

Gillie

MOD note

All Sligo Beer threads now merged. This thread is now your first port of call for all discussions pre, post, and for those using your hand held mobile devices, during Sligo Beer nights or even days. A temporary thread may need to be created if wanting to includ a poll, which can then be merged into here after beers are drank.

Want to get a few of the Sligo Boardsies together for a few Alcoholic beverages, or soft drinks if you’re driving, discuss it all here.

Have fun.

Irish Stew

A regular poster on this forum has PM'd me with the idea of getting together for a few beers.

What do ya'll think?

If there is enough interest we'll kick around a date and a venue.

Basq

Sign me up.. definite interest here!

Gillie

Good man.

Poll added

JIZZLORD

nicolaonfire

Haha this would be interesting! I would love to go!

TequilaMockingBird

Count me in.

brianthebard

Will we have to communicate by IM when you get to the pub? If so then I'll go.

TequilaMockingBird

In the Beer Guts and Receeding Hair Line Forum Beers, they are each bringing a tin of Carnation Milk (?!). What would we each have to bring...?

An Argos Catalogue?
List of Planning Applications?
Shanyne Ward?
A Spoon Playing Busker?

Not really. The poll was to grab your attention.
You in? (Bring the duck!)

CountingCrows

Carl and Lenny show their support for the Meltdowns, Homer's supposed new football team with this exchange:

Carl - "I've got 'Melt' mania!"

Lenny - "And I've got 'Downs' syndrome!"

.....I'm in

Will muffler throw me out of the pub if I don't use a coaster?

Don't know but I might!;)

AlmightyCushion

Depending on the date, I'll go to this. Fridays will probably be best for me. Should be fun though.

gustavo

I'll go , if only to provide a bit of eye-candy for the ladies.

You still shoving Skittles in women's eyes? Didn't the warrant for your arrest at least somewhat dissuade you?

Hopefully no one will be injured with all the sharp wits about!

magnumlady

I'll be there, but if I have a coke when everyone elseis having a beer will it be counted as going off topic and will I get a yellow card?

Gillie

Hmm.

Non-drinker and always has a camera!
Your a danger to ppl like me and Counting Crows!

TequilaMockingBird

Don't worry Magnumlady, I'll have an extra Vodka in my coke for you, so they should leave you alone.

No...don't thank me. Its fiiine. Really.

sligobhoy67

I'll go if you all promise to buy me a drink.

You can sort out amongst yourself as to who will pay the appearance fee.

Could I suggest a Poll for the tallest guy please?

















I need him to hide from Muffler.

Counting Crows and JoeyJJ are pretty tall!

Correction - Pretty & Tall (even tough pretty isn't really the look I'm going for!)

not saying i'm going, but if i was, do we go by our real names or usernames, and do we have masks with our aviator on, so we reconise each other

We'll decide a place to meet and it will work itself out.

Gilly/Gillie is practically my real name at this stage anyway!;)

So. Do we have enough to make this work?
Nothing from Madge, ilgatto, Peasant etc. yet?

TequilaMockingBird

Any ideas on where yet?

We best warn the establishment beforehand, so they can lay on extra chairs.

Six or seven rather uncomfortable strangers are about to decend on them.

As a smoker, is there any chance we could go somewhere with a smoking area pretty close to the drinking area? Otherwise I'll be gone for half the night. The only two other SliBoards (like it?!) I've met are not smokers so I guess I could be on my own.


Soooo... I propose the Belfry, back bar, nice booths that would probably fit us all, and a heated smoking area beside it for me! Also, I could press my nose up against the window to see what your all up to while I'm gone.

going off topic very slightly, dont smoke my self, but spend more time in the smoking area of the belfry than i do inside, seems more sociable out there

We're livin' on the edge, us smokers.:cool:

When you dice with death like we do, you tend to try and enjoy every moment.


Back on topic, anyone else got any ideas? Belfry, can be quite loud, could be hard to hear each other (yes, I AM that old!)

Gillie, oh Master, lead us.

CountingCrows

A few cans in the ironically named peace park?

Basq

The Glasshouse is a nice little spot too.

TequilaMockingBird

+1 The Glasshouse

CountingCrows

My vote goes to McLoughlin's on High Street. Nice cosy spot with good Guinness and isn't as intimidating for strangers as bigger bars like Glasshouse & Belfry.

Gillie

I'm a smoker myself.

As for a venue.
McLaughlins sounds good. So does the Belfrey and the Glasshouse.
Hard to say really.

What are your thoughts?

magnumlady

My vote goes to the Glasshouse, cos I can park there and don't want to be walking through town at night.

I haven't been in Cullens since last Feb.
Long story! Will tell you over a cold one!

Haven't being there in a long time either with no living in town... Not sure i'll make the beers evening but you never know.

We have our designated driver. I apologise in advance for getting sick in your car.

magnumlady

Thats all well and good, but I have to be home before midnight or else I turn into a pumpkin (oh no I'm one already!):D

Guys you have to realise that as a moderator, if there is a local boards event then the mod pays all night long,

Muffler and I had the donegal and leitrim reunion last week, it was a great night but a very low turn out.
