    I hear the gingers like eating kidneys all right.

    And we will have to be careful, they will be eyeing us up with dye and freckle tattoos. :p

    Does anyone coming have a mini BBQ they can bring? Oh ya TAr meant to ask ya how should I go about getting my phone number around to the PPL coming down without it being there for everyone online to see? I only have the interent at work so won't be much able to keep in contact on boards the week of the BBQ!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Well you could do what I did and just PM everybody interested your number. I'm not sure about the veggie meetup site, they probably have a PM thing too.

    Don't have a bbq I'm afraid, hope some peeps do!

    Excellent! I'd be interested in working on an organic farm, as part of a 'meitheal' for a week/weekend, as an el cheapo holiday. I just didn't know where to start looking for that sort of information. When are ye busiest?





    And yes, my mind is in the sewer....looking up at the stars (except for last night, when I slept through the partial eclipse. Bugger.)

    Ughhh I know how you feel. Mine is a disgrace, nobody touched it when I was away on holidays.
    How can weeds grow so much quicker than tasty things. :confused:

    Lots of weeds are edible. Develop an addiction to Dandelion & Burdock wine, and thats half the battle! ;) I know nettles are super excellent for me iron levels but the only stuff I have access to is close to main roads.
    And they always feel like a bit like eating wool - I really need a good nettle recipe for spring.

    Vinegar is a super plant killer tho....if you'r really stuck. Maybe a bit too good, tho.

    You a bit of a gardener?

    Yeah but they are robbing the nutrients from the things I'm actually trying to grow.

    When I was growing up, back in ancient Ireland.
    Everybody grew their own veg, had their own milk and eggs, killed their own chickens, baked their own bread.
    So I was living at home this summer, and I though I would get nostigalic.
    I converted part of the garden into a veggie patch.
    It was supposed to be a sneaky way to get my Dad to eat salad and excersise. It is moderately successful. I think a whip and treadmill might work better though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Sapsorrow


    Just out of curiousity how many people are planning on comin down fer this so far? Just wondering if I need to borrow a BBQ from the neighbours...


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Oh looks very nice and in the middle of nowhere!
    I'm coming I think! Few others said so too, one has to get a babysitter! /whip

    So when we come down we can meet up and buy things in town? Or wait to saturday to get supplies? and have a bbq in the evening?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Sapsorrow


    Ya sure whatever people feel like at the time I guess, it'll prob be easier to get the food in the english market and around town on friday rather than trying to figure out getting everyone back into town again on saturday to do it, plus I plan on being pretty hungover by saturday anyway..


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I'm coming too.

    Kay, I've been away for a few days but: I have a mini BBQ which can be used providing somebody can drive it (and me :D) from Cork city to party central. Also have spare sleeping bags and like I said if people need to be met off the bus and brought to the market/off licence I can do that coz I've got bugger all else to do tbh ;)

    Also I may need a spot in a tent, I'll try and acquire one though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,226 ✭✭✭taram


    Meeee! *waves hand in the air* Will have work until 4/5 depending on what weekend we pick, depending how I get there, can bring another bbq. Got far too much fresh mint in my garden, so thinking mojitos :)
