    Yep, hasn't let us down yet. We've not done it on a Saturday yet though, so hopefully it's as good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    I'll ask about a booth tomorrow.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,136 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Alright fook it I'm in. What time are we thinking so I have time to have a nap first :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    8?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Also deadly you can come


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,136 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    8 is fine, can make that work I think. Won't be heading out as early as myself and sKeith did the last time anyways :pac:

  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    In work that day, so unlikely to make it out until 7pm at the earliest. In work the following day too so won't be a late one for me anyway. No reason you guys can't meet before that though if you want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    8 works for me but 7 does too.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,136 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Either or for me, I'll be in Dublin for about 6pm anyways. Ticket booked this evening :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Spot booked for 8 people in Oscars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    What time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    The table is from 8. But they will hold the table from about 7 to make sure its free for us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Any sign of Poly this weekend QB?

    Did ask but unlikely as she’s not in Dublin this weekend.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 4,281 Mod ✭✭✭✭deconduo


    I think I can make this.

    It is the deadest Saturday of the year...I couldn't find decent work even if I looked for it :D Hopefully we'll be fine.

    Bear in mind I'm coming from the sticks folks, so I have to...

    1) Apply to the village elder for permission to leave.
    2) Make sure my turnip quota for the week is collected.
    3) Get my vaccinations and booster shots.
    4) Do the the village send-off parade where I'll be wished well by the inhabitants and blessed by the local priest.
    5) Correctly answer 3 riddles posed by the troll at the creek on the way out of the village.

    It shouldn't be too much strife. The turnips are almost collected, I got my vaccinations. Only thing is the troll is me cousin, and there was a bit of hassle in the extended family over Christmas about a contentious acre of land. Hope he realises that that's all our geebag auntie's fault, and that he will just pose me 3 regular riddles.

    Oscars is in Smithfield, yeah?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Yep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Stu tomorrow.

    And that's just to leave the village. You should see what you have to do to enter the Dublin City limits!!

    For the uninitiated, if you arrive and are looking for us, we will be the table with a tin of condensed milk on it.

    I could bring post it notes, don't know if that's more or less fancy.


    EDIT: Less fancy! how the heck do you shuffle post it notes? we could do a draft.
