    Hey Everyone,

    First post here, long time reader. (Sounds like an AA intro lol)

    Anyways, recent grad, moved to Dublin back in August for grad job, looking to make new friends.

    Ideally someone to go for pints on scene with.

    22 here but act a lot older.

    Get back to me everyone.

    Hey, I've just moved to Dublin, returning to college after dropping out a few years ago.

    I'm 21, staying in the city centre. Looking to make new friends also. Be up for going for pints. It'd be cool if we could get a wee group together.

    Sounds like there is a few of us in the same boat so.

    How does everyone fancy going for a few pints on Saturday night ?

    Someone else might suggest somewhere cause I haven't a clue really

    Em

    There have been monthly meet ups on here for about the last 9 months

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=86236690

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=83284656

    I would suggest holding off on organising anything for a day or so - I will pm previous monthly meet up organisers and see if someone wants to organise it for early October

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    My post above is only a suggestion - If you want to go ahrad and organise something this Saturday go ahead

    As it happens I'll be moving back to Dublin this week to start a grad job too (I'm also 22 :P), so I wouldn't be averse to joining you.

    Also, as Mango said, there is the option of the monthly meetup too. I've been to a few of them and they've been great.

    As for this Saturday, previous meetups have been in Messrs and the Long Stone, both of which have been pretty impressive pubs, but its up to you ClearlyClear.

    Sat is good for me if we want to have this meet up instead of waiting for the monthly one

    I reckon I should be free to pop along as well.

    OP, I think you should go ahead and organise a meetup this weekend if you want to. Nothing to stop anyone coming to this one and the monthly meetup too!

    So this Saturday then? It'd be good to go somewhere not too packed so we can talk, like the front lounge during the week is grand but during the weekend it's just wrong how over crowded that place gets

    Yeah this sounds like a plan. We could go to Sweetmans. Or else that new bar just beside it that just opened 'The River Bar'. Lots of space and It would be easy to talk. I was in there at the weekend (no space in Sweetmans) and it was nice.

    I'd imagine what with it being Arthur's weekend and the hurling final, a quiet pub will be hard to find! :L

    Make a sign or two with a marker and piece of paper

    Really like the idea of this, just hope it doesn't infringe on the success of the boards meet ups! I can't make the sat night but will make the next one! Id even be free during the week some night for a drink! :)

    I don't see any competition or distinction here at all - it's just another meet up and it will hopefully be succesful

    Good luck tomorrow night

    Should I change the thread title so people see the time/venue?

    I think it can only add to it.

    Fair play to ClearlyClear for taking the initiative to organise it.

    Thread title changed.

    I'd suggest that the op makes a few signs to say boards.ie
