    What do you mean on one occasion?

    There was one where someone almost accidentally scored their own cousin, that was a good one.

    Just as long as you are not buying pre beers. We wouldnt want to make a scene in public with no one to moderate.

    This happened a few years ago. A user from Cork was in Dublin on his own for a night and stuck up a post here seeing if anyone fancied a pint, about two hours later there was a bunch of users getting twisted in the Woolshed. It quickly went from a once-off to a weekly event for most of the summer.

    Well im going to go ahead and do it. The woolshed seems like a decent place to start, might be a match on. And if that fails its temple bar. seems to be a foolproof plan.

    Go to an old man pub and sit up at the bar and have the craic with the alcoholics, then head to a niteclub.
