Should be handy enough to get to for rural folk - just get into the city, find George Street (perpendicular to Dame Street), and it is 5 - 10 mins walk up there. One of the streets to the left.

:P I be the one slumbed over the table with a few empty bud cans around me

hubba

I'll be there too. It's funny really - we neither know each other's names nor how to recognise each other. In fact, I don't even know how to prounounce half your usernames.

How about we have a code word and carry a copy of the Irish Farmers Journal.

xzanti

No

Lads I'm gonna have to bow out of this one as my Father in Law sadly passed away this morning..

If there's another one on, I'll be all over it.. was really looking forward to putting some faces to these names

Enjoy the evening folks.

Sorry to here about your fil xzanti,May he rip.


Re the meetup we can get you next time .

No

Sorry to hear about your father in law xzanti.

I'm heading in, but am running late. Bit under the weather but determined! Still don't know how we will recognise each other!

No

I went, but I didn't see anyone really, so I drank some tea and left. Went for a little walk. I hope no one else was left there alone waiting, too!

budgese me and the lovely Hubba were there , where you the man that was sitting down near the end of the stairs ? Listening to your iPod. We were the couple sitting to your left, so sorry about that we were there for about three hours,we had a great auld laugh,

Hopefully we can do it again soon and maybe be a bit more organised,once again my apologies.:o

xzanti

No

I would love if there was another one.. we will all wear a red rose at the next one or a pioneer pin :pac:;)

No

Budgese is a lady!
I wasn't in great form anyway (feeling grand today) so it was ok. I think saw you guys alright (I was snapping the head off the poor waitress... but she was being kinda annoying) but I assumed you were just a couple out for the evening! The inability to organise a p*ss up in a brewery came to mind (and made me start laughing too).

hubba

Hi budgese, what a pity we didn't connect - at least you know what we look like for next time.

And great to meet you, Realies, great to put a face to all those wise words. Loved the chat.

Everyone else - now that we have broken the ice, how about we have another one soon enough, at least before Christmas? Any takers? We could do a Thursday instead of Saturday if that suits better.

xzanti

No

I have a class that I take on Thursdays.. but any other night I'd be very happy to go along

miamee

I read this forum regularly as I find it inspiring how you all help each other out and offer encouragement

I hope you don't mind me posting here - on the meet up, it might be a good idea to put something on the table ye are all sitting at, e.g at a meet I organised recently we had a plastic pumpkin on the table and we also posted in the event thread on the night more or less where we were sitting in the venue. Hopefully someone can do something like that for your next one

Great idea, thanks!

Sunnyisland

No

Ok and I hope I amnot to pushy, when would a meetup suit everyone interested in going, Thursdays are out,any ideas anyone ?

xzanti

No

Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings would be great for me.. but I would do my best to go on any evening other than Thursday..

hubba

Friday's preferred. Sunday's not good. Every other day considered!

Sunnyisland

No

Soooooo any movements for this ?

Friday or Saturday seems ok


We could go to the same place that me & Hubba met and missed budgese ?

Well...

Dave!

Anyone wanna suggest a date? The last one was only the other day :pac:

If someone wants to make a new thread I'll unstick this one.

Cheers

xzanti

No

Ok, I'll bite..

How about Saturday 30th of November? 4 weeks away.

Sunnyisland

No

So far that sounds ok to me,

No

Should be ok for me too.

Sunnyisland

No

That's me budgese & xzanti, anyone else ?

I will be there not in body but in spirit from 10, 350 miles away. Good luck with this one.

hubba

I doubt it for me as it's turning into a very busy month (with all the great outdoorsy stuff I took up since quitting!) so I'll have to give this one a miss, sorry.

No

Shall we push this one forwards a bit? I'm not sure of my plans for the next few weeks either.

Dave!

Yeah probably a good shout budgese.

Maybe someone could volunteer to organise this next one, and start a new thread about it with a date/time (and venue, unless you want to stick with Accents)? xzanti, how about yourself?

No

I can get that together, I used to organise Dublin City boards beers (the irony!).

Dave!

Go for it Let me know if I can help in any way

xzanti

No

Yeah I'm happy to push it forward a bit.. maybe in the New Year people will have a few less commitments.. this is a busy time of year afterall

Looking forward to it, whenever it is

No

Yes I was thinking let's wait till January, this time of year is pretty insane.

Edited to add, maybe if people were travelling up for this, we could try for a weekend afternoon, and see if we can find any fun activities to do as well. Leave it with me.

emmabrighton

No

Just chiming in... I have been lurking in this thread following what everyone has been suggesting. A lot of the time I can't tell if I will be free until a day or two beforehand. Small babies and all

So I'll be there so long as nothing prevents me from going...

Love the idea of doing something - I haven't a clue what we could do though...

Sunnyisland

No

It would be the end of January before I could make it, just saying :-)

hubba

That's the way it's looking for me too at this stage.

bluefinger

I would love to see this take off but like other posters i'm kind of restricted to knowing if I can attend a day or two before.

Can i suggest having a poll with 4 or 5 dates on it and people could vote on the one they might be most likely to attend? Also have you thought of making it into a movie/bowling night as people might be more likely to attend if there's something to do? Just saying.
