Just sending out feelers to see if anyone will be about for upcoming bank holiday weekend. I’ll probably come to Dublin on the Saturday and stay until the Tuesday. So? ---

I’ll pass my mobile number onto **curlychick** and **jjimm** so if you need to find me, contact them. I’m thinking maybe late on Friday night for drinks or food then drinks on Saturday. ---

Should you ever have occasion to visit the US, don’t use the phrase “Bank Holiday.” Older Americans would take it to refer to the closing of banks during the Depression of the early 1930’s. And they never reopened. Unlike the current “bank holidays.” ---

Tentatively, let’s meet up on Friday night at around 9pm somewhere in town. I shall be drinking alcoholic bevs. Oh, yes. And, can someone get a hold of the loveable **yojimbo** and **mr and madame micilin**? What about a night of carousing? Anyone up for a disco? Woo hoo. ---

The lovable **yojimbo** will be about and drinking alcoholic bevs aswell. I rearrange my insanly busy schedule ie. I´ll tape “Have I got news for you” 😉 I´ll point this out to **micilin**. ---

Yay! I can’t wait to see **yojimbo** again! This time, I’ll bring a coat. I just now, by accident, typed **yo[big]b**imbo\*\*. It works. I hope it sticks. 9ish somewhere in town on Friday the 30th May is the tentative plan. You should have my mobile by now, **'bimbo** , as I asked micilin to pass it on to you. ---

Well, then. I suggest you start a new thread inviting Irish Dopers to visit this thread and call it, “Bite me, Paddy.” I suggest you put it in the Pit. ---

Anahita, we set up an email ganglist, why don’t you send me an email (trhough my profile) and I’ll send you an invite mail back. I’m rather new (not in Dublin, bu on this board). Since I’m not Irish, and I’m alone in thew office right now, when’s the next bank holiday? We’ve got a get together on 5th June, I think… weekends are usually off limits for me, as it’s the only time I get to see the bf, and pubs aren’t really where we want to spend the precious little time we have together… You’re from Galway, right?
