11/9 is good for me too. Looks like we may be on to a winner here. MWAP a hug would be good but a … ah fuck it I’m too hung over to make jokes. The shithole beside Doyles is a grand shithole. Now excuse me while I crawl into a corner and die. I really shouldn’t have had those taco chips after that much Guinness. _bletch_ ---

Perhaps _50 Cent_ can provide the humour that you are lacking here, **yojimbo**. I’m picturing **mwap** saying this to you: > [@](#): > > You can find me in the club, > bottle full of bub, > look mami i got the Ex if you into takin’ drugs, > im in there having sex i ain’t into makin’ love, > so come give me a hug, if you’re into gettin’ rough I ---

mmmmm … post beer taco & chips I’m gonna be in town tonight and I’ll actually be in Doyles, so I pop in to the shithole, to see where the hell it is (and memorise the route Abrakebabra for the bleary post pub feast) In the meantime **yojimbo** dont think about runny eggs, rusty arse water, or eating the contents of an ashtray. They always make me feel worse when I’m in ribbons the next day… ---

The pub next to Doyle’s is actually part of Doyle’s - Doyle’s has expanded like the fungal Mercantile to absorb everything around it. I can’t remember the feckin name of it though. It’s on the side opposite Trinity. ---

O’Donoghue’s I think. Not to be confused with the tourist infested beardy bollixville on Merrion Row. ---

I think it’s called O’Donoghue’s. Does that ring a bell with anyone? ---

You will know it by the cheery greeting given to you by the delightful barmaid who will, with every word and gesture welcome you into the bosom of her hostelry and cater to your every imbiming whim with a smile and all the inviting, homely warmth you usually only find in the derelict, rat infested, typhoid ridden crack houses of down town Basra. She is a charming lady. PS 11th sounds fine to me. ---

sounds like my kind of place - I see I’m gonna fit right in there. Now if they sell Buckfast or Devil’s Bit Cider on draught I’ll be sorted ---

Right so, 11th it 🙂 And **utkik** , I thought you might be a Swede, your nick means “lookout”. Would have been gas if there was a Swede-living-in-Dublin Doper. ---

Myself and **micilin** had a couple of late in O’Donoghue’s on Fri. night. Said bar woman was there and she was an absolute gem. Seriously she said Hi when we came in. Joked and stuff and was generally a nice human being (nice ass aswell 😉 ) She was obviously off her game when we were there before as she was grand the Fri night. There was also a very very drunk Fin there who could barely speak English who we had mighty craic with indeed. Oh well see y’all on the 11th. ---

At the risk of being an awful eejit, what time roughly? And by what sign shall ye be known? And was it Doyles? Where is that, on Dame street is it? // Clueless eejit ---

**Iteki** , it ain’t Dame St, it is the third part of the holy triangle of Westmoreland St, and D’Olier St. Pearse St? College Green? Doyle’s is one of two or three pubs all next door to each other, which are really all the same pub. If you are stood looking at the doors, with your back to TCD, then it is the leftest one, a tiny little place with only about six tables in it and the bar along the back wall. I can be there by 9pm. Is it term time again? Are the students back? If so, you will know us because we will be the oldest people in the place. The dead giveaway, though is that **jjimm** may very well have his wedding ring up his nose. ---
