Things to do in Dublin when its Dead

Riamfada

Hey. Just been thinking.

Im trying to take a break from the drinking ( health reasons) and its now Saturday evening and there is sweet F all too do in this City. I mean, the Cinema is boring. I have no car. Does anyone else find it really boring around here, and /or what do you do to make up for it?

Mickah

Got a set of golf clubs?

Midnight excursion to your local driving range. Rob a black bag full of golf balls.

Take the Dart out to Howth, get a bus to the summit. Go to one of the cliff edges and smash all the golf balls into the sea.

Great craic with a bunch of mates. Bring a baseball bat for extra giggles.

Makaveli

Get some fresh air, play football, go for a walk.
You could get a few mates around and play playstation or get a video or play poker.
Poker with a decent amount of people will go on all night. I was playing it last night, started at 9 and we were still playing it a 3 so we just quit and split the pot. It's pretty good fun, just make sure there's something to eat in the house.

Winters

Masturbate.

Repli

Go swimming.. play pool/snooker.. watch movies... play games.. theres loads to do!

Sangre

Yeah, too much study atm to go out, except on big nights.
So I stick to my 'online gaming'
Tv is pretty crap lately.

Is the concept of going out without actually drinking so unimaginable?:D How about doing drugs?*shrugs*
I could go out now as there is some festivities going on around here(read:made up by the pubs festival to attract drinkers).But I seldom bother going out on a Saturday,as I more often go out on Friday and like to be fully fresh on a Sunday for some reason(gets me off to a better start in the week i suppose).Though couldnt be arsed going out last night either.Just watched tv but then again Friday tv/radio is alot better than the monkeys piss they show on a Saturday night.
Me loikes the poker idea but I havent played in years-must look up the rules again and try and make a profitable night out of it sometime soon:) Have a friend who likes to dip into the world of amateur gambling i.e he takes bets on big footie matches and horse races and occasionally manages a profit-he would probably be interested and could deffo get alot more people in on it.
I could use the game with the lads for money as a testing ground for strip poker with the girls,for,erm,nakeyness:DThough if i want more rapid nudity i should probably play strip snap:)
There are alot more boring places in the world than Dublin.Imagine living in the middle of the culchieside where all your friends and entertainment are a sizeable drive away.

I prefer strip paper scissors rock. Works QUITE well.

1)buy some kind of musical instrument, kill hours with that.

2)masturbate(i do a lot of this when i'm bored, excited or nervous)

3)watch some dvds, better than cinema as you can take a piss whenever you want and not miss a thing

4)read some books, preferably Hear'say: The Story as it has some nice pics of myleene which is intertwined with option 2

5)befriend a chinese man

I agree with the pool idea from Repli. Seem to be all those DIT boys do... .

MAC_E

Thats weird tyranny, I was just on the Dc website there taking a look through all the old pics, along with that one below. All look amazing.

dendenz

Hang around Harolds Cross and see how many Prozzies walk up to you !

Nemici

write a short story about a bored lad who meets up with his internet friends face to face and murders them in weird ways..........

dendenz

you scare me

Jim

tbh i dont drink, and i find dublin one of the most boring places on earth. all suggestions are very good but may require alco to be enjoyable.

play music, hang out wit ur friends, go to art galleries [not that that last suggestion will ever apply to grimes], write a ****ty short story etc..........

Winters

No, dont write short stories, write erotica. Sell it and then make millions! Someone on eBay is bound to pay for it just say its an authentic something or other....

Caesar_Bojangle

Deeply considering writing an erotic sexually charged romance short story for my english leaving, but i have a feeling it would be too venturesome for the examiner despite giving tremendous detail to the sexual organs

Hells_Fury

WRITE IT ! WROTE IT ! Send it to me instead

Hells_Fury

HA HA !! You should suggest things like that ....it makes a girls fingers go haywire

Repli

Hells_Fury, besides my grotesque appearance i have not got a lot to offer a girl, but would you like caesar to bojangle you?

Hells_Fury

Theres tonnes of stuff to do.

1) Buy a camera and go point it at things.
2) Take up running and go and pound some turf for a few hours. 3) Buy some weights and put knots on yer arms.
4) Find a snooker hall (if it takes your fancy) and organise foursomes (in the platonic sense).
5) As some suggested, buy an instrument of some description (preferably musical) and go and compose your opus.
6) Sit as if in deep thought on some rock on a coastline and jot down your thoughts as you watch the sun descend behind Poolbeg.
7) ****, preferably with some sort of visual stimulation in the form of a skin flick or jizz mag.

Oh, and buy a telescope. You'll have hours of fun with a good high res telescope. Trust me.

Oh and if all else fails get Hells Fury to PM you some filth. By the sounds of it, filth rarely leaves her mind. I like that in a girl. Lots.

Trebor

considering the irish way of turning any activity into a drinking activity i belive there is very little to be done in dublin when it's dead.

You could always try learning a martial art, get nice and sweaty and learn to kick the bejeus out of people

At least my line of thought is easy to follow.

bug

I've often thought about giving up drinking, I seriously think I'm becoming allergic to it.
The thing is there is SFA to do in Dublin if your not a fitness fanatic. I don't want to join a gym or go running. I can't swim and have a phobia about deep water so I can't go to lessons.
I'm sick of going to the cinema, so I just end up going drinking.
In other european cities that have alot more going on street entertainers (good ones), carnivals, streets stalls, etc. The outdoor cinema thing was good in the square in Temple bar, I think you need tickets now or someat. You can't go out for a good meal unless you have at least a tonne. And then they try and get rid of you as soon as you've downed your last bit of ice-cream. This city is a disaster as far as alternative nite-life is concerned.

dendenz

Could always count the number of times skangers say "wrecks me head"

Nemici

what about painting a picture?
or maybe working on a sex line for some cash (my mate says its a larf) look at some art ? hours of fun there.
