    When I seen you say you were going I decided to go, picked up a friend and by the time I got into town to leave car and get a taxi it was 8.45, the traffic outside Pennys were you get the taxis was horrendous and I worked out would take 50 mins to get to the venue and that by my reckoning we'd only have little over an hour as the bars close at 11pm on Sundays.
    Got a takeaway instead, oh the bitter cold also helped make our minds up.

    Yep, my reckoning was, I could spend 15 minutes getting there, 15 quid each in the door, and have a wander around for 3 hours... Or spend the 15 quid each in the pub, and go for a good nights sleep! Again, the cold helped my decision...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,699 ✭✭✭ThOnda


    Or go to NCH to play "who is hiding a tattoo and where" game ;-)
