Oh don't get me wrong...I don't see it as begging...not sure where that comment came from. Just seems a bit strange that there's a minimum to raise.

Ah not you,twas col said it was a sort of begging.
The minimum raise is the norm nowadays for big charity events such as that.

Fair enough

- I don't see the logic in it though...it turns me off a little to say the least. I mean to me it seems a bit snobby of them, not to accept 300 euro if I was able to make that amount for them. Maybe if a minimum of 50 euro might be ok but €650!, it's a bit extreme.

deRanged · 10-02-2010 09:33PM

it kindof goes against the whole "every little helps" thing.

bumbletumble · 10-02-2010 09:43PM

4 peaks challange you need to raise a mininum of 4,500 euro to enter it!!

Just bought tickets to the Dropkick Murphys gig in the Savoy in April. Not too sure why cause i don't have any cds or anything. Thinking it'd be a good one though going by that song from the departed and their influences!

Anyone else going?

11-02-2010 12:52PM

Got work in Cork

Seen them a few years ago. Tawt they were pretty good.

NoDice · 11-02-2010 03:58PM

Cool, dying to go to a gig and I'll just be back from holidays then so looking forward to it. Savoy is a good venue too I think. Saw Biffy Clyro there and it was pretty cool.

Roverjames, congrats on the job, always great to hear good news around here!

Dropkick Murphy's, btw, are a celtic punk kinda group. I really only know them from that rocking song at the end of the Departed.

Thank you

'tis the place I left to come up here, my contract is up shortly here so the timing is great.

Me thinks I wouldn't be into that band, cheers to yourSQP for the PM and the link, me thinks I was right

NoDice · 11-02-2010 07:28PM

Funnily enough they're not a band that play the type of music I would usually go out of my way to get a ticket for. It jsut seems like a good night out.

Man I'm so sick of Cork like. There is no where good to go out at all. Said I'd do a pub crawl type thing last weekend and worked my way up Barracks street a bit so hit Tom Barry's for the first time. Really cool place, nice smoking area but wonder what the music is like in there on a busy night? There was none playing on the Sunday.

Has anyone been to the club next to the Quad?

11-02-2010 07:47PM

Have never been to Tom Barrys, the sister loves it though. She lives quite close to it too.

NoDice · 11-02-2010 07:53PM

Might go there again some night, massive smoking area with a fire and all! Nice pints too and loads of space. was told it's a good spot for saturday nights.

I'm still sickeningly inclined to go to the Brog!! I'm so sick of it and it smells and the pints are bad (but they're €3!! €3 I said!!!) and the staff are generally rude and the bathrooms are dirty but it's home. It's home and I wish I was there now. Damb you!!!

NoDice · 11-02-2010 07:54PM

sorry.. rant over

Webmonkey · 11-02-2010 09:49PM

I'm shocked....i just got told my neighbour hung himself...I mean the family are lovely....this doesn't make sense

mik_da_man · 11-02-2010 09:50PM

Sorry to hear that

Webmonkey · 11-02-2010 09:50PM

He's only 18 like

Webmonkey · 11-02-2010 10:01PM

strange stuff...the reasons why he done it apparently are quite frightening...such small things if only he spoke about them.

Anyways how's every one here? - I'll be back in Ireland saturday...its very snowy here in Germany! What's it like there...

It was actually a really lovely day today. The sun was shining and the place was actualy warm,well till the evening anyway. How did Germany go for you?

Waiting for my damn food to be delivered

I loved the week to be honest. A meal every evening with few drinks with all partners, of all different nationalities.

We ate in this really cool restaurant just an hour ago where you order your food on touch screen at table and it arrives via a track over your table to you! Really funny concept but it worked.

Sorry to hear that, very sad, especially when the chap was only 18.

Yeah it real is quite a sad thing when you hear about it and especially when its someone close to you or somebody you know. I've had 2 friends and two family members go that way and its just horrible when it happens. The first thing you always seem to ask yourself is why you didn't see it coming but the thing is nobody ever does.

Just by chance was he in UCC aswell?

Webmonkey · 11-02-2010 10:33PM

You're right about everyone wondering why they didn't do more to see it coming..

No he didn't go to college....he was a boy racer, but he lost his license and it was down hill from there apparently

Such simple things

Yeah its strange the things that will set people off or make them enter depression. 18 is just way too young to go like.

Indeed. He obviously wasn't rational with anything...I think children need to be brought up to be more open and talk about things. Keeping things locked up is not good and results in things like this.

Very sorry to hear this Webmonkey. Got a few shocks like that myself last year. You're completely right about kids needing to talk about everything more openly. If you guys were close and you want to talk about it, feel free to pm me. I don't mind. As you said yourself it helps to talk.

On a lighter note, where in Germany are you? Was thinking of doing a trip there but Amsterdam is very persuasive...

Good afternoon everybody.

Afternoon
