BBC3 Discussion

dahamsta

With all the kiddyvinkes doing their exams it looks like May 6'll be a cosy night out, so I reckon that should be assigned the grand title of BBC 2½. Maybe I'll hit 10k by then and we can celebrate a thunderous huffy exit from Boards.ie as I flame my way to a banning!

However lots of people seem to be up for June so I reckon that'll be BBC3, and we should get the arguments about dates and times and locations out of the way early, so we can add a link to a sticky in our sigs to make sure loads of people are aware that it's coming up. Maybe even get those bastards in charge to run a banner for a little while.

My nights out for the last few months have been first Friday of the month, however the first Friday in June is leading into a holiday weekend, so is that going to cause problems? What about location, will we take a chance on the weather being good and go for the Well? And how about time, is everyone game for an early start?

I've never been to one, but I'm gonna be gone from June 1st so count me out I'm afraid.
I'll probably be studying for the May one too. :mad:

Sixth surely? SyxPak bumped me out of fifth a couple months ago. Was thinking of flaming out in a big way before I hit 10k...

I did a banner already, I'll post it in a couple days if the date and/or venue aren't suitable.

I'm in for both unless something unexpected like, I dunno, Vogons destroying the world or something gets in the way. Whether this has the overall effect of reducing the total turnout is another matter altogether, of course. Get more of the nerds out (by which I mean, CLUG people) - they were good fun the last time I remember being out with a bunch of them (well, if your idea of fun involves arguing about linux distros, agreeing to move on to the Brog cos you're all pissed and it seems like a good idea, and playing "lets ring the doorbell and run away" on the way there. Which, as it turns out by happy coincidence, mine is - at least when booze is involved.).

Just like there's no point in giving you lot less than a week's notice, there's no point it giving them more than a week's notice. Strange but true.

agreeing to move on to the Brog cos you're all pissed

"All" seems a bit of a stretch for, what, three people? And anyway, I wasn't pissed, I was stocious. Ocified. Forked. Langerated.

playing "lets ring the doorbell and run away" on the way there.

Bugger, I don't remember that at all. I have a reputation to uphold you know. Well, I don't, but I'm 32 like. Well, physically. But still!

adam

Fysh

I don't think you were there the time I'm referring to, but on the other hand I can't say I'd put it past you. Clearly next time such events should be dwarfed, DWARFED I SAY, by the silliness of whatever we decide is a good idea at the time. (Although one can't help but suspect that this won't actually be the case. Ah well...)

dahamsta

Right, moving on...





Stick one of them in your sig or your blog, link it to this thread.

Nice banners. I've put one of them in my sig.

Nukem

Sweet banner Adam - 17 to go to the 10,000 mark

Nukem

gimmick

Ill most certainly do my best to get to this. Cool banner by the way.

dudara

But why oh why the Francisan Well?? It's a hole, and you know what it's like on holidays...
piss piss moan moan

dahamsta

The real men (and women) will be there at 5pm to get a seat. Fairies that come in later don't deserve seats, and will be required to be our slaves for the evening, fetching and carrying our beer and emptying our incontinence pants regularly.

SACRILIDGE! (or however you spell it)

dudara

No. It's a hole with manky toilets. It's dingy inside.

Dunno about the ladies, but I've seen gents that are a hell of a lot worse.

It's dingy inside.

The whole point of going to the Well is so we can sit outside. If it's raining, we'll go somewhere else.

Do me a favour, drop it. It's in the Well. If you find the Well that horrid, don't go.

adam

*sigh*, why do I have work the following morning again......
but the Fransiscan Well is nice outside, specially in the summer! and the ladies toilets aren't all that bad, I've seen much much worse!

dudara

fair enough, I'll leave it.

I honestly don't know if I'll be able to attend. It's getting close to my planned thesis submission date, so we'll see.

ah I can't, not on a Saturday... and anyway, I'm far too honest to pull a sickie!

Eh, I made it to the last one. Was fun.

Will probably make the next one. Out of boredom

Boredom?? I thought it was great fun!! As was the previous one, which is why I'm not going to the next one out of boredom, but in anticipation to another great night!!

I'm honest, I take sickies all the time. Course my boss is a pushover.

I suppose it helps that you know him so well :rolleyes:

nesf

*bump*

I'll definitely be attending


Is anyone up for making a trip later in June to attend the Dublin Beers? It's on Saturday 25th of June. It's on in a pub next to Heuston so that would be handy.

Wouldn't mind some company for the train up Any takers?

Link to Events thread on the Dublin Beers

JohnK

The Dublin one sounds tempting but I don't know if I'll go yet. I'm definitely on for the Cork one though.

Fysh

Would be tempted by the Dublin one, but there's a college reunion thing the same weekend which I'm going to. Shame would definitely be up for going to another dublin one though - I've been to two Galway beers over the last 6 months and they were great fun.

dahamsta

I was supposed to be in Glastonbury that day, but it's only cost me about €300 so far and it'd be soooo much more fun to force myself to be polite to people that I think are complete arseholes than go to an enormous music festival with an atmosphere so relaxed it makes you feel stoned whether you're actually stoned or not, so I think I'll cancel Glastonbury and head for Dooooooblin.

adam

nesf

*taps sarcasm detector*

Bloody thing ain't working!

Fysh

Are you even capable of being polite to anyone, adam? Regardless of whether you think they're arseholes?

dahamsta

That's my fatal flaw Fysh, the more polite I am to someone the less I like them.

So how are you today?

heh

(Sorry about that yesterday, somebody bumped into me and nudged my sarcasm control up to "incapacitate". In truth I wouldn't mind heading to a Dublin Boards Beer, particular on the train cos I love them. Particularly if I can get pissed on them.)

adam

dahamsta

Aaaaanyway, BBC3 is but three days away now and I've been quite looking forward to it so I'm guessing people will start pulling out now (so to speak). So let's play Who's Going To BBC3...

adam

nesf

I'll be there.

Jerry and Rob won't they are heading to Germany on Friday for a week long music festival. Lucky bastards. Can't remember the exact name off the top of my head.

Fysh

I'll be in, and I'll see if I can twist simu's arm into going. Was talkin to rob the other night - isn't it some metal-type festival they're off to? bastards...

dudara

Rock Am Ring, I presume. It's supposed to be good craic alright

I'm definitely going to try to make this one. I've held back for too long

Rock Am Ring. Yeah that's the name. I was going for a bit but had to pull out due to stuff.

Meh. Not sure if a week in Germany would be good for me atm anyways.

JohnK

Unless I'm dying of a hangover, I'll be there. I have a work night out on the Thursday.

Nukem

Eh..................just got told i have to work but i will be there. Not finished til 5 so home(half hr through traffic) shower something to eat ........ETA 7ish but will be there. Are ye planning a pub crawl or just staying in the Well?

Nukem

dahamsta

We should be there until about 8pm anyway. It'll be getting jammed by then so I guess we'll play it by ear after that. Usual story though, if in doubt call or text me.

JohnK, no excuses.

adam

simu

I might go - still haven't decided for sure.

Or maybe I'll stay home and peruse of my vintage Kenny Live collection.

Bring it with you, we can trade key episodes of your Kenny Live collection with key episodes from my Late Late collection.

I was thinking of descaling the kettle meself.

adam

unless my missus has me washing dishes & peeling spuds I'll be there...

...only because it's in the well though. I've had a hankering for a pint of rebel red for ages

Well, IK'm back from the work night out. Had a brillliant time and so far its looking good for tommorow. I've had plenty to drink but am having plenty of water so should be ok but will know for sure at about 1 or 2 pm when I plan on getting out of bed. (btw, why the hell do I head birds singing outside???) May have convinced a guy from work to come along but dont know yet. Will only known when/if he rings me tomorrow. I think he's a Boards user/lurker but not really sure. I know he knows of boards but thats about it.

simu

Yeah, so I'll probably turn up around 7 or so.

see you later, people!

dahamsta

Anyone actually turning up at 5pm or should I bring a paper?

adam

nesf

I'm looking at between 6 and 7 arrival.
