Climb the spire

Eat a fabulous 2.95 meal at Supermacs/Mcdonalds

The possiblities are endless but naturally these are the 2 very best of your options

Dades

Go to Doyles and get a seat.

Go to Doyles, buy two pints and pretend you are two people, you wont be drinking on your own. Its important that you switch seats every time you take a drink from the other glass though, and make sure you talk to yourself. There is nothing stranger than two guys drinking in a pub together and not talking to eachother.

I can see myself singing that.

Take a walk

You could trying begging for loose change - after a while you might have enough money to entertain youself.

Go to Lapellos just up the road and get a lap-dance.

Don't use your voucher until you've been there an hour though or they'll kick you out.

impr0v

Buy a one thousand piece jigsaw in smyths and find a piece of pavement to lay it out on. With luck you'll get some offers for help and you'll spark an impromptu street jigsaw party, making yourself tonnes of new friends in the process.

Indulge in a little 'hobo kicking' tomfoolery - it fun and its free - do it for the empire!!

Get a paper €1 go to Doyles and order a glass of water. Cheap and you’ll know whats going on in the world. If any of the staff say anything to you just tell them you’re waiting for friends and you shouldn’t have a problem.

- Use passing kids as frisbee's
- poke hobo's with sticks

Go skinny dipping in the liffey - it'd give you something to talk about when you meet your friends

Or climb up the trees in Stephens green - wait until someone is walking along and then jump down and scare them

Spend 2 hours getting on the luas and avoiding the ticket guys

Go into BT and try on funny clothes that you'd never wear or expensive clothes that you could never afford

As a guy who's been in the musical, that is going to stay with me for months!

I'd go sit in the park in Merrion Square, it's a nice evening. It won't be too cold by 8 anyways. After 8, go for a stroll around the park, and through Trinity.

You could hang around shops and intimidate muppets into buying fags for you.

rcaz

Buy some chalk, and draw dead body outlines on the ground, then draw attention to them somehow, see if you can start a crowd.

Make fun of buskers!

go into shops and look at stuff you hope to afford some day.

You could hide in the bushes in St Stephens Green and expose yourself to passers by

yossarin

going to doyles at least an hour early and getting a seat sounds good though.

can you really climb the spire?

I've been in london for the past 3 years - piss off

edit: allright, it was a pretty stupid comment now that i think about it
but how do I know any better?

Enii

Check if the blood bank is open late and go in and donate a pint of blood. It's free and they'll even give you a pint and some scram. Enjoy!

You could go pole dancing on the spire or begging in Grafton street.

Oh! I nearly forgot, you could try ringing Eircon 1901 and see if you can get to talk to a human being!!! :rolleyes:
