Balls. I can't go to this after all due to having a conflict in schedule.
Was really looking forward to it an' all. Oh well... might try and hit up the Boards LBGT beers if I can.
Sorry, folks.

Aww I was looking forward to meeting you. I enjoy reading your Trivial annoyances and trivial happinesses

Barry Badrinath · 08-06-2016 08:17PM

I'm not going because you are all a bunch of weirdos.

Have fun though.

Why on earth does every gathering this forum organises have to be some depressing boozing session.

Dublin in the height of summer is a marvelous place. There's any amount of art, drama and music events on.

If it were up to me, the meeting would start with a visit to the wonderful Da Vinci exhibition in the national gallery. It's simply awe inspiring to have the privilege to view one of histories greatest genius' sketches and read the notes he wrote as he studied everything from human anatomy to engineering. A window in to the mind of one of the greatest humans ever.

Then perhaps stroll around Stephen's green or the Iveagh gardens and chat amongst one another. Maybe even a few of the more musical posters could play something. I'm afraid I'm a pianist so I wouldn't be much use there, but I'd be interested in hearing others offerings.

Then perhaps a meal and some wine in Shanahan's followed by a digestif in The Shelbourne.

But as usual the best AH seems to be able to come up with is for everyone to descend on some grotty pub, guzzle down as much cheap larger as possible and stumble home with a chipper. Or worse still, some posters suggesting that to save money we should buy flagons of cheap cider and drink by the canal like winos!

Aongus, come and we can elope afterwards.

Mister Vain · 08-06-2016 08:53PM

I was with you up until the wine and digestif part, but yeah surely there must be something else we could do.

08-06-2016 08:55PM

No

What would you like to do Mister Vain? To be honest I wouldn't mind someone buying me drinks in the Shelbourne and some over priced shoe leather in Shanahans

It all sounds like a date to me, rather than a social gathering. A lot of these sort of gatherings involve people sitting down, chatting and having a laugh. And, in this case, it's for people to get to know one another. This can't be done in an art gallery, however nice a place they can be to walk around. Plus, not everyone would be into art, music, etc.

Perhaps drinking Dom Perignon from the fanny of a bag lady will be a happy medium?

Barry Badrinath · 08-06-2016 08:57PM

I've changed my mind.

I'm not going because Aongus is deficient somewhat on the aul "craic" department.

Nothing wrong with a few messy pints.

The Shelbourne?? If we are in that locale then it's The Hibernian Club or nothing.

We could always hit up Patrick Guilbauld's and then retire to one of the bedrooms, I mean the bar in the Merrion.

I've no idea what any of that means, but it sounds like something you would say to the prettiest newest inmate on their first day in prison. :pac:

I'm sure that could be arranged. A quick stop off at brown Thomas on the way to art galleries and the shelbourne.
Though the bags there are very expensive.

The sales assistant may want to cover the them before leaking champagne from her nether regions!

Eloping after 12 pints of fosters and a garlic cheese chips isn't really Shakespearean levels of romance. No thanks.

She might settle for 11 if it's you though.
Or other "larger"
