Was wondering if there are any DublinDopes coming up, will be over for a week at the start of Sept, and wouldn’t mind going out for a bite/jar. Are there any meet-ups planned? ---

Well, thanks for scaring the crap out of me there **jjimm**! Have to book my tickets (and renew my passport) but the dates I am looking at are 7-13 Sep. I have no specific plans made, so I am at yer mercy. ---

Can’t make it on the 12th as I’ll be in Galway for a wedding. But any of the other dates would be good! ---

No 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th for me. I’ve got to go to two weddings -one of which is in Italy. Beat THAT **hibernicus**! 🙂 ---

When you have all finished flouting your matrimonials - do we have a date? A venue? Anything at all, at all, at all? ---

Actually - there is nothing to stop me suggesting one is there? Based on what I see here, no one has yet kyboshed the dates between the 7th and the 10th. Any of these are fine for me. Eeny meeny miney mo - Tuesday 9th. Will that do? ---

Tuesday 9th sounds good to me! But now, for the real clincher, where do we go??? I’ve no real preference, as long as beer is present in abundance… ---

9th sounds great, I don’t know where is nice these days, but at my age I prioritise comfy seats and not too loud. 😛 ---

I was in a new place around the corner from Hogans last week. _The MarketPlace_ or some such name. Barn of a place(converted Market) with lots of space and comfy seats. However the 9th is a Tues so anywhere is good re: seats. Long Hall Grogans Mulligans Corner Stone Conways(Across from the Rotunda) SoSueMe The Bank (New on Dame St. I want to see the greeter I’ve heard so much about 😉 ) and many more. Now come on somebody make a decision as I find it impossible 🙂 ---

Ooooh, the greeter in The Bank on Dame street. Good God, what a RACK!!! 😃 😃 😃 Might distract us gentlemen from the job in hand, though. ---

Oh and I’m off work the 9th for a week and a half so that date couldn’t be more perfect 😉 ---

Are we seriously suggesting a fucking Tuesday. What’s wrong with 11 or 12 September? I like **hib** and I don’t completely detest **micilin** (;)) but I’d rather be shit-faced without them than going home at 10 pm. Yes, I know, I’m a veritable Kofi Annan when it comes to diplomacy.
