Yes folks, it's that time again.
Dublin town, sometime soon, post your indifference here and I'll harass and cajole you into another drunken frenzy. I think we should meet before the Florida gathering just so we can do two before those guys get one organised.
Same deal as last time, if everyone could just feign interest for a while I'll make sure you get location and timing PM'd to you a week before I decide we're meeting.
His royal pisstness the Cadwah!

Originally posted by rmackenI don't think anyone is really sure. It's been in the works since the first Ireland meet-up was still in the planning process. Our efficiency in arranging to meet probably correlates directly to our "any excuse for a piss up" lifestyle. People in Florida are too health-conscious.

Originally posted by rhbOk, change of joke then. Our love for a drink causes us to work quickly toward any excuse to have a session, Florida's unhealthy sedentary nature overrides any desire to do anything...? It's not very funny anymore. Stupid crappy joke. 😛
How you can describe any US states population as health-conscious is beyond me!

Originally posted by adramforallWell, I'm not sure what Cadwah's got in mind, but next month had been mentioned in passing. Last time an Ireland meet-up thread started it was August-ish, and we had the meet-up in October. I'd say it won't take that long this time unless we start the whole discussion of which city, which pub in that city, etc. all over again.
Well Scotland is not too far away and as I like a pint of Guiness now and then.
Just need a decent warning period (3 weeks) so I can arrange time off work, cover, persuade wife to let me go, etc.
😉
Which gets us back to my earlier question - Are we sticking with Dublin or does anyone feel like a change of venue?

Next month is a definite possibility, maybe the last weekend of May would be good as it would give people enough time to organise travel etc. However if lots can't make it we will have it the beginning of June instead.
