An Gadaí's latest fruitless call for a DublinDope.

Wait, so that means you AREN’T coming to Clevelnad over Christmas as you thought you might? So we can go ahead and schedule a DopeFest for, say, Bmalion’s Natal Day?

Sorry, I should have made that clear. Flights are really cheap right now. I can fly to Chicago for something like €300 but I don’t have time what with a huge amount of work due end of January.

Oh to be in the Euro… the pound is getting weaker by the day. :frowning:

Illuminatiprimus, a huge amount of Christmas shopping is being done up north in order to make savings with weak pound, also to circumvent greedy merchants in the Republic.

I don’t get a mention :frowning: Irish, from Ireland back there 4-5 times a year and will of course be back at Christmas.

Where is the love! I would attend such a meeting.

Gah, Enniskillen has been like a car park for months now, because of a steady stream of mexicans flooding over the border to get cheap beer from ASDA. I regularly pass a queue of cars about three miles long that is made up almost exclusively by southern reg cars. Sligo reg, Cavan reg, Dublin. I have even seen cars from Longford and Kilkenny.

I would hate to have to shop down south if that is the distance people will go just to get a van full of Carlsberg

Ah, I knew I’d left out loads of people. There’s someone from Waterford whose username escapes me. Doesn’t seem like there’ll be a meeting before Christmas alas, unless yourself, Yojimbo and mise have a minimicroDubDope.

I did my shopping in Aughnacloy ;-), not a sinner in sight and I was passing through anyway. Longford isn’t too far from the border, Kilkenny is though.
It’s really worth it if you plan and buy in bulk, even with the hassle.
