Don’t I wish? But, my finals are coming up next week and I have to be ready. Maybe next time, though! Post lots of fun pics!

I’ll definitely be on for some beers tomorrow evening. Probably won’t make it to Avalon, but I’ll see you in Mulligan’s at 7.30 or 8.

Mine too (and btw, as usual, I deny everything 😃 )

Did the Kilmainham Gaol visit go ahead? I actually attempted to get up for it, but decided after about ten minutes to roll over and go back to bed.

Thanks much for the hospitality jjimm (and pass that on to herself as well), though I think next time I’ll pass on the vodka + wine combo…

your head? Christ, I was sure my head was about to explode this morning, and my mouth felt like Bob Dylan was living in it.  
how the fuck did it end up 6 a.m. before we left?

Coldy, apols on not being able to make the jail visit this morning. I hope you had a great time and that the guys enjoyed themselves.

Aro, a pleasure to finally meet you! I hope you got home ok and that we weren’t too bad singers 🙂

Good to meet you guys too. Maybe do it again sometime…?

Glad I wasn’t (quite) drunk enough to attempt to sing along with guys. (Or did I??) That would have been enough to clear the room early. 😉

And my head was suprisingly good in the morning, considering. (Course, it was straight to bed after I arrived back home.)

**Twisty** , on leaving at 6am…you guys only left 'cause the alcohol at **jjimms** house ran out, not because it was that late. And don’t try to deny it either. 😉

**Ruadh** , when you get those photos back, be sure to destroy them immediately. (Or send them to me so I can destroy them personally)

Did _anyone_ make the trip to Kilmainham?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thanks for a fantastic evening’s entertainment. It was particularly good to see the Dutch boys and **Aro** , who I hadn’t met before.

It’s just as well I didn’t head for **jjimm’s** as I was already sozzled enough on leaving the pub to fall asleep on the night bus. The driver woke me up at the terminus in Baldoyle and I had to get a taxi back home. I was in bits yesterday but managed to go to lunch with **Mrs. MWAP** and the nipper. I wouldn’t have been forgiven for staying out into the wee hours and parking my arse on the couch all day Sunday.

See you all soon,

MWAP

That’s what I did and I forgave myself for it 😉

**ruadh** sorry I didn’t answer your SMS I only read it this morning on the way to work. I wasn’t up till 3pm so Kilmainham was a no go for me.

Good night all round. Some heated drunken stuff which is always good craic.
