Boards Beer Cork Five

dahamsta

In case you missed it, BBC Five Live is scheduled for Friday the 5th of August at 5pm in Tom Barrys on Barrack Street. If you can't make it, now would probably be a good time to object so it can be rescheduled if no-one can attend, or cancelled if no-one, uh, cares.

JohnK

Fysh

Won't be around for this one; apparently I'm getting pissed at the family's expense, I mean going to a wedding. Ah well, I'll make the next one...

Im just saying that for anyone living outside of cork (be they from cork or not) fridays at 5pm is not exactly the most suitable time....

dahamsta

Well, it's a Cork beers, and as far as I'm aware no-one outside of Cork has ever expressed an intention or made an effort to come along, so I don't see a problem. Longest it could take anyone within the county to get to the city is a couple hours, and even with that is someone really going to come up from that far away? And besides all that, what's stopping them walking in at 7, 8 or 9pm? People do anyway!

adam

solice

Coming from dublin, i go to college in UCC and but am on work experience for the summer. I dont want to make a big deal about this, im just saying that i am hardly the only person that posts on boards and in the cork city section that is currently outside the city on a friday and cant make it.

Its been on a friday for the previous four so i assume this aint going to change. I wont be going anyway

No problem then, eh?

Seriously though, it's been on Fridays because I went and organised them for that day, because for some reason people like the idea of ducking out of work early on Fridays for a few pints. They're not my nights though, anyone is welcome to go ahead and organise one. Why don't you take charge of the September one and organise it for whatever night you like?

Nothing stopping you rescheduling to Saturday solice.

adam

I'm heading up to Kildare on Tuesday to see my new baby niece!! I'll see what I can do about getting back down, but it'll be doubtful... (I will be there this Friday though Adam!)

Femelade

yeah, i prob wont be able to make it.
i have to be in cork and limerick on that nite for 2 different occasions....well now 3 occasions....somethings gotta give!
hopefully i'll make the next one.

dahamsta

There we go solice, it looks like Friday isn't going to work on this occasion anyway. Now's your chance to take the reins, what say you?

adam

D-Generate

I will go to my first Boards Beer!
Friday or Saturday will do me. I will be the young 'un.

Blitzkrieger

The first time I was a)off work and b)not doing anything for a BBC and it's being switched

Something's bound to come up anyway....

dahamsta

Well, five - you, me, JohnK, rymus & D-Generate - isn't too bad if people actually turn up, but will they?

Anyone else for Bwah Bwah Friday the 5th?

adam

D-Generate

I will try and get one or two other people who use boards to come along also.

Nukem

May be there yet Will c how im fixed in the next few days with goin away.

Barry's eh - only a crawl home so. Anyways we did that North/Southsider pole and there was loads from near the lough,how come they (ye) aren't goin.

Nukem

gimmick

^ Because the Hawthorn wasnt an option

I wont make much Fridays due to the fact that Cork City be playing at home every second friday, and the last few BBCs have clashed. Id like to get to one in the near future though.

dimerocks

excellent i will be there also.itsd my first one also,should be fun i think!

dahamsta

Odd, I was just thinking about this. I reckon that unless anyone else pulls out, we should stick with Friday.

And could someone please make me drink water every third pint or so.

But that would mean that the free entertainment (ie you, drunk as a skunk) wouldn't be available for those who stick around beyond 7ish. And, in fairness, a BBC without you getting locked early on would be like, well, the Crucifixion if Jesus had decided to stay at home and wash his hair. :P

rymus

Just realised.. I wont be there unless you reschedule it to Tuesday I shall be in London avoiding muslims with backpacks that weekend.

dahamsta

I have no objection to getting drunk as a skunk for everyone's entertainment, I'd just like to remember more than (often embarassing) outtakes the next day. Taking Friday as an example, the pub crawl was an absolute hoot - really, we should do that again - but most of the actual party is a blur. All I can remember are things like:

• muttering like Foul Ole Ron at Simu for some reason, about god only knows what ("Millennium hand and shrimp, I told 'em!");
• thinking the two people one friend brought were major league assholes, and quite probably telling them so;
• wishing the people outside my window would shut up, because I was trying to get some sleep (these would be people at my party);
• still not being able to figure out who stayed in my back room (although I think now it may have been a chap called Steve, in which case that was ok cos I probably told him he could).

There was also a few photos of me looking pretty dodgy on my camera when I checked in the morning, including one where I appear to be asleep in my office chair, in the middle of the living room. And AJ made some scurrilous accusations about my relationship with Sascha in a voicemail this afternoon, which is an utterly horrifying concept.

That's what comes of only drinking once or twice a month, no resistance. Hence the need for a glass of water every third pint or so. I'll have to design some kind of gadget. Or possibly just set reminders on my phone.

apparently, this is real.

Apparently, that blogger is dumb as a rock.

LilMrsDahamsta

BBC 5? Maybee... Still in GMT-2hrs mentally though and no idea where/when work is this week, so I'll have to see. Think I'm meant to be going to a bday party Friday too, but that might have changed by now I'll see ye if I can get there.

Nukem

Fysh

Deffo can't make it, will be on the razzle with extended family tomorrow night. I'll do my best to uphold what seems to be BBC tradition though (ie getting thoroughly ratarsed well before everyone else and insulting people in funny ways )

dahamsta

Shall we say Friday again, just to annoy solice?

JohnK

Friday sounds good
I enjoy having a 'few' pints after work

Dizzyblabla

ok, I'm totally confused as to what day you plan on having it, but I'm in Naas now, and about to head to Dublin for the weekend, so I can't make it this week, but then again, if you reschedule, I can't make it then either, cause I have work next Friday night!...
(oh, and Adam, it was me who took the photo of you in your chair in the middle of the living room!)

Nukem

So Friday the 11th (next week) in Tom Barrys - could try make it. Nothing planned............play it by ear but will do my best.
Head count for next week?

dudara

Ah bollocks, I was planning on coming along tonight. I dunno about next week right now.

Friday, Saturday, whatever; I'm not the boss of ye, take initiative; more the merrier; etc, etc. (That reminds me, we should do the midweek dinner thing again some night, that was a laugh. Well, up to a point. )

See, there's you trying to show me up as a drunk - which is fair enough - when I hear on the grapevine that I wasn't the only one who had a teensy bit too much to drink that night.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I'm free tonight, in fact I'll be gagging for a pint by the time I get back from Shannon around 5 or 6. I'm off in a couple hours though, so text XXX XXXX XXX if you're interested.

adam

Fysh

As adam pointed out in one of the many other threads about drinking on here, this shindig is meant to be happening tomorrow. I'll be finished work at 5, and assuming that the narcoleptic-type sleeping fits that have assailed me all week don't strike again, I'll be up for one or two. Who else is about?

dahamsta

We should have it on whatever day will get the most people there*. Let's pretend we're a democracy and have a vote.

adam

*What I mean by that is the most girls. As I've said before, boys are dull. No offense.

Dizzyblabla

I can't this weekend at all, I'm on nights, next weekend I can, but can't drink cause I'm on days... so I'll just go along with whatever's picked!

JohnK

I should be free from about 9~9.30 on Friday but I dont think I'm free at all on saturday*.

*= I could be wrong though. I really have to start noting down when I tell people I'll go drinking with them.

gimmick

Dare I suggest a few drinks for the Hurling on Sunday?

nesf

Friday would suit me, say 9-9.30ish.

Maybe, I'm not in much of a form for drinking these days tbh. I would like to do the midweek dinner thing again though. It's a good excuse to try out new resteraunts

Edit: Oh and 3K
