Forum beers - Saturday, 1st September, Dublin

robindch

Hey folks -

The next forum beers are happening -- after an inexcusably long gap -- on Saturday week, 1st of September, in the upstairs of the Lord Edward Pub in Christchurch Place, Dublin. Hope this is enough notice!

We'll be sharing with the Dublin Skeptics in the Pub and the event's on facebook here -- and usually between thirty and fifty skeptical, beer-drinking, thirsty atheists make it along.

Post here if you think you can make it along. Or indeed if you've any beer-related religion gags.

I swear you intentionally chose the night of the new season of Doctor Who!

robindch

Nope. I've a hot date with Dana that evening

^^^ Teleological fallacy.

Anyhow, don't people have VCR's these days?

I've been shuffling around the edges of this forum for a few weeks now, would love to meet up with you all.

My gag contribution:

You can't prove your god exists but I can prove my beer exists.

kylith

I would love to be there, but it'll most definitely be after Doctor Who.

Sarky

Bloody dublin-centric country... I might make it. We'll see. I suppose I do have the advantage of not giving a rat's ass about Dr.Who.

Penn

Probably won't make it as friend is coming home from Canada that weekend so probably going out locally. If not I might try and wander up.

Beer/Religion Gag:
Thou shalt not lie with beer-goggled womankind as with womankind; it is abomination

Dades

As mentioned to Robin already - almost certainly not.
Flying back from holidays that day... any appearance would be miraculous!

Have fun, though!

VCRs? What century are you living in man?

I know as atheists we aren't allowed have Gods... but what about spirits?

Turtwig

I guess if anything this thread has served to remind me that I really should give Dr. Who a chance sometime.

I'm in Cork so wouldn't be able to go but decided to open topic anyway. Glad I did now....

Is the venue bisexual-albino-dwarf friendly, and do you have a harassment policy in place?

Obviously we should do everything we can to make sure nobody is invited for coffee or offended by jewellery.

Yes it's a two harassment minimum! I might make this if I can travel down and there's nothing on in work that night. Saturday's are tough!

Dades

I hope the Lord Edward Pub has a lift elevator!

robindch

Nope. I've a hot date with Dana that evening

An elevator?

Oh, Christ.

Doctor DooM

Again ye've managed to pick a day I will be in Galway

lazygal

Can you go if you don't drink beer? Is wine too 'churchy'?

That reminds me ... I have just the t-shirt to wear on the night.

Not if it doesn't start off the evening as water.

At this point, we have two policies:

First, for Saturday evening only, the Lord Edward will be referred to as "The Lady Edwina" 50% of the time.

Second, the first person who mentions elevatorgate will be tipped down the nearest personhole.

The only good Dr Who is David Tennant!

Tom Baker and I feel you should feel bad for this statement.
