How did you get on in Dublin? I actually didn't end up in Angola!

Very well man, had a good laugh, was basically Dundrum, drinking, Everleigh, home, Breakfast, Niamh, road to Cork.

Met Brian in Everleigh - he was his usual, sober self :pac:

Knex* · 13-12-2013 01:31PM

What you make of Everleigh, actually?

Went with a big enough crowd, with a good few lads from home involved, and not many were fans. We found it far too small and overcrowded, tbh.

Saw the bouncers do a couple of unsavory things also, although thankfully to nobody I knew.

Yeah I had completely forgot ye were around in my excitement at being home for the weekend, I actually wasn't out that night at all or I would surely have bumped into ye.

Everleigh is a spot I've been liking a lot for the last couple of months. As a smoker it's great and the crowd in there is usually good fun. There's always an issue with overcrowding there early in the night alright but I find it usually starts to disperse a bit from around 1.30 onwards. When you have the right crowd density in there in can be great craic! Then again, it's all about who you're with I suppose.

Everleigh was a bit disappointing to be honest - there wasn't a great crowd in there, the place seemed pitch fúckin dark inside and then ridiculously bright in the smoking area.

The smoking area was good in fairness & I wasn't waiting too long to get served while there but overall it was a bit meh by my book

Hopefully home from the 20th to the 6th, waiting to hear back about holidays.

NYE I'll most likely be in Killarney, one or two from Cork I know are coming down and renting out a gaff with a load of their buddies from Dublin, so they'll most likely stay there for the night drinking, I'll be popping there and then seeing what the story is with town because Killarney can be atrocious on big nights like that.

You around Tralee? Give a pop over at some stage sure!

Barna77 · 13-12-2013 04:49PM

And I'm on holidays from.....

Now.

Doing feck all until the 3rd

Jammy Fúcker!

Enjoy them Freedomz Barna

Pawwed Rig · 14-12-2013 12:49PM

5km run done this morning. Looking out the window at the rain makes me think an afternoon in front of the TV is in order.
Dinner tonight with some friends. Love this time of year:)

Pawwed Rig · 16-12-2013 10:23AM

Morning Gents.
Great day of football yesterday. United back to winning ways and Liverpool fairly impressive v Spurs.
Too many drinks were had to make it to the gym this morning:(

Barna77 · 16-12-2013 10:24AM

No lay in. :mad:

D'Agger · 16-12-2013 10:47AM

Well I didn't make a fool of myself at the staff party, had a hungover movie date Saturday and got Christmas shopping done in town before the Liverpool match - great weekend, finally got a fry up in Tonys Bistro in Cork, I've only been meaning to go there for about 5 years

How was it? Been about 4 years since I have managed to go in there - despite being in or around the area often enough - but I remember quite liking it the last time.

Weird with it being Paulaners - everybody raves about how good the beer is, you'd imagine if it's high quality then it'd have less of the stuff that causes hangovers.....like.....alcohol

One of my girlfriends goes to Germany on occasion for work. Not near as much as she used to pre-baby - but sometimes. She brings back some german beers for me and I have found Paulaner and Erdinger to be on the top of my list of beers to avoid.

Unfortunately not many of the best ones make it as far as Ireland. I guess the germans only export the ones they themselves do not like that much. One that I do see on occasion here in Ireland though - especially in Offies - is Franksiskaner which I would recommend much more readily than Paulaner.

Franksiskaner make a stout too - but have yet to get my hands on that. As an occasional Guiness drinker however I am keen to try at least one.

Lovely - was nicely done up for Christmas, nice service and very busy, had a lovely breakfast there I must say and will definitely go back, or at least look for rivals

I have to say, a beer that I like and find hard to spot in Cork, barring a few bars, is Kronenburg (sp?) - lovely stuff

We're doing 12 pubs on the 20th, there are talks of possibly doing another one on the 21st depending what state the bodies are in but I figure we probably won't. Good chance we'll head home some time the evening of the 21st if there isn't a night out on the cards. There is a 12 pubs in Tralee on the 23rd I think if you fancy it.

Bunch of us going to Dingle for NYE, should be good craic!

Grand Canyon is a must see from a helicopter, amazing. Hiked down a trail the next day and got caught in a snow storm on the way back up. Physically and mentally tough. Couldn't get to sleep that evening and had to take some paracetamol to take the edge off the hiking pains.

Worth it, though!

How all?

I was just thinking I hadn't seen you around the place much! Welcome back, good to hear the trip went well. Recovered yet?

So during last nights mess my house seem to have acquired a fish...I don't really remember how...cute fish though!

Did you get the one that flies low through the canyon and plays this while doing it?

Anyway, good evening for me; 3 more christmas presents sorted (5 down, 7 to go

), hard gym session for me achey old bones, and a quick trip to the offy to pick up a good old selection of Irish craft beers.

Currently enjoying 8 Degrees' Aztec Stout. It's brewed with chillies, and you'd know.

The Black Oil · 18-12-2013 12:23AM

Hah, well, there were a few tunes on in the background actually, but it was mostly us yapping and getting used to the headsets. Pilot was sound and chilled out - we were the only aircraft in the air at the time.

You've a lot of presents on the agenda!
