isnt there a bowling alley/arcade/casino type place out there? The bowling part is supposed to be quite good. Ehh Perks? that sounds right.

Didn't know Perks had a bowling alley. Haven't been near the place since they moved from their previous location.

The Craichouse comedy nights are moving to the Half Moon next week I think. They were very good the few times I went to them in Nancy Spains.

Even the local amateurs are very good, there's one guy, Donncha O'Chonaill (I think that's his name), who just cracks me up.

I think that's the Snatch Improv thing? I've just seen that once, but a good laugh all right.

Try a new kind of music and go to a live performance - classical/jazz/whatever you don't usually listen to.

I can't believe they called their restaurant MacPerkies and got away with it. It's not a franchise surely?

Try the theatres - either the Everyman Palace, the Granary or the Opera House, there's always something happening on a Friday night - plays, music, comedy - nothing like a bit of live theatre!!!

They're in the Comedy Club on Thursdays now. 10pm. 5 euro admission. Must go myself but all the lads say they're working in the morning or unemployed and flat broke. Bastards
