Gambling Forum Meet - Wednesday, 27th July

UrbanSea

Hi lads. Was thinking it would be a good idea to get a gambling forum meet up at some stage this summer. Was thinking maybe the wednesday at galway or the Thursday (ladies' day )

See,I have no mates in real life but I'd like to think of some fellows here as mildly sound. It gets lonely sitting inside all day on this site eating,and I occasionally like to venture to the outside world.

I once had a friend named Ethan in play school but he moved to Waterford.
He was sound,we used to play with Thomas the Tank Engine toys. I was pretty mad one day when he tore the sticker off one but looking back it's no big deal.


Anyway,who'd be up for it? Racing during the day follows by a few beers and a feed.
Plenty of females around for a bit of eating,shooting and leaving with the help of God.

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

A year early for me I'd say!
Have fun chaps!

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

It's ok baz,I'm waiting to get with my first woman,too! Ah well,hopefully someday.

finbarrk

I'll meet you if I'm there, no prob. You know a bit anyway!

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

I could be tempted.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

That's the spirit gentlemen! Any chance of a poll James?

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

No.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Ruin my week.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Thanks for the poll.

One or two changes are recommended. ''Yes,U.S pulling bitches all day''.
Or ''No,busy pulling myself that day''

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

Access denied.

Will it be handy to get a hotel or some spot? We should of organized this properly a long time ago!

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Hotel is going to cost a bomb. Most are booked out at this stage.

Jonjo will put us up :pac:

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

I've a strong feeling that this won't get off the ground. :pac: I'll probably be heading up anyways.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

It will man don't be a negative nunny we'll sort some accommodation out. I've a friend bout 20 minutes away,I could ask if he'd put any of us up,except he moved back in with the parents cos he's poor

Derek!

Is there a dress code?

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

No. Clothing is optional.

Derek!

Perfect I wonder if many will go

x PyRo

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

You missed the joke. :pac: No idea what the story is with the dress code.

I doubt many will head to be honest. I'll be there in some way, shape or form all going well.

Derek!

Oh yea lol I'm havin a slow day
I'd say if it was organised sooner much more people might of went

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

No dress code Derek. Plenty wear suits but not compulsory. I'll just be looking handsome as usual.

Derek!

Them ladies better watch out then

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Haha I know well. I hope they don't try and resist,they'll only be making it harder on themselves.
Would you be up for heading out at night too Derek?

Derek!

Yea I'd say it would be a laugh
Do you think many will go?

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

4 according to the poll so far. I will anyway,even if 5 or 6 went it'd be a bit of craic.

Would have been on for this 2 years ago as I was working in Galway :pac: Not this year though, wouldn't really be into going to the Galway races at all unless I was up there.

On a similar note though was thinking earlier today do the gambling dudes on boards have meetups, cause every other fecking section of it seems to :pac:

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

I've been gracing this forum with my presence for well over a year and there hasn't being one. There was meant to be one back in October for the Hatton's Grace meeting but didn't go ahead. Hopefully this one will,good craic at Galway,pity about the poor horses.

Ah now Derek if I told everyone there'd be no fun in it or surprise.

i'm 20mins away but the wife wouldn't have it

haven't a notion of going to the races on wed/thurs as
i hate crowded racecourses (excuse for always losing my hole)
pints afterwards on the other hand i'd be more than game for

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Haha she'll have the chains out...and whip. :pac:
Where would you say in town burner? Down to the Skeff or some spot

Gavin "shels"

If I had a penny to my name I probably would have popped across. Didn't have any work for over 2 weeks and was on holidays so I'm fairly skint.

Hmmm we could always go to Coyotes :pac: ano. Id say we'll be parting ways at some point later on,I'll be the freaky guy fapping in the corner of C.P's tah night

noelpat

One potential problem about this could be the extortionate prices of the hotels in Galway :eek:

fkiely

I could be tempted if I'm down at the races this year. My folks live in Galway as well so place to stay and all that. I'll look into it.

Nulty

No chance. I spent all my pennies in Cork on the weekend.

The Hattons Grace meet was doomed because the races were postponed more than twice due to the weather. I went though and got Asigh Pearl at 20s. Also backed Hurricane Fly at 10/3 and had a bit of an ew accum or multiples with Kempes placing. It was a good day, pity you all missed it.

Juwwi

A quick look on hotels.com and its coming up as €200 a nite in a hotel midweek :eek::(.

Derek!

It seems the hotels are takin full advantage of race week with their prices

restingpilgrim

Guys I live in galway. Raceweek is great craic but all the hotels tend to triple their prices for this week. A lot of people now stay a short journey out and designate a driver for each day. Better off getting a B and B about ten miles away where your business is appreciated. Also here that there will be free concerts in the docks area this year similar to when the Volvo Ocean race was in town.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

I have a free room for the night with someone but no room at the inn for anyone else,it's about a quarter ofnthe size of a box.

8-10

Only if Cat Stevens is there.

I didn't get the poll. But no, can't make it outside of Dublin midweek I'm afraid but sounds like good fun.

UrbanSea

No, I am not a hero.

Hopefully the next time.

UrbanSea

Don't do it jive and it's midweek

Galway would be better but it's also further away and more expensive :P Does the fun outweigh the distance + price??? I'm skeptical

Oh yeah without a doubt.

Lads if ye said you're going to go but didn't put it in the poll could ye? Just handy for knowing potential numbers.

Frankie Lee

If ye don't mind staying in a hostel, I would recommend Barrnacles on Shop street, its cheap and reasonably clean.
