    Is anyone interested in some ARTist beers?

    I'll be briefly passing back through Dublin on Thursday 14th April and will be loading up on some good beery carbohydrates* in Messrs Maguires that evening if anyone is interested in joining in.


    * May not actually be suitable carb loading for people doing London that weekend.

    Perfect timing for myself. I've a 6:50 am flight to Antwerp the following morning. Couldn't think of a better way to get the carbo loading kickstarted.

    See, I knew it was an endurance drinking event in clogs that you were going there to do. Nothing to do with that running lark at all. ;)

    Under the current circumstances this seems an even better idea. Be nice to go and just raise a glass for Eddie. What time are you guys planning on meeting?

    I was just looking through them a few minutes ago. That's a great pic. You don't often get me in front of a camera or smiling let alone doing both at once. Stupidprivate is quite the talented photographer!

    That sounds like my one. If it leaves here when they currently claim though I should get in sooner than that. Will have to hop in a taxi now as I'll be far too thirsty by then to be messing about on waiting for busses.

    Oh dear. Glad I didn't get dragged along for that part of the night.

    I did manage to lock myself out of my hotel room somehow though and was wandering around lost and without my shoes on for some reason until a helpful night porter let me back in. No idea what I was doing.
