Irish Dopers: Care to meet in Dublin on Apr 27 or 28?

We, my sisters and I, will be arriving in Dublin on Apr 27[sup]th[/sup], mid-morning time. Right now, I think we are planning on spending two nights in Dublin and then attempting to drive a U to Shannon Airport where we will fly out on May 5[sup]th[/sup]. I had been advised, though the search function won’t offer me any assistance on this, that we definately need to see the inside of a real Dublin pub. Pubs are a major classification of sites we wish to see.

So, who is game for a little drinking & general hanging out? Please let me know.

That’s a Tuesday and Wednesday? Rules me out, unfortunately (those are my two twelve-hour-plus workdays).

I’m sure some of the others will be happy to fill in, though.

Have we ever said no? :smiley:

Well you probably haven’t noticed me before anyway, but it’s a no for me as well.:frowning: Mainly because I’m beyond the pale. By miles.

Have fun!

Sorry dear, but Dublin’s a 10 hour round trip for me (and that’s if I turn ‘round and come straight back), hope you like the place tho’ :slight_smile:

Bleedin’ culchies :wink:

You come down here and say that!! :smiley:

Ordinarily, I’d love to meet a visiting Doper for a pint. But it seems I will be in Leeds on those two days (back on Wednesday evening, but probably too late to realistically think of going out). Hope you both have a lot of fun though.

How’s it going there, DUSTIN? :smiley:

Don’t think I have anything on so I should be able to make it.

Do you smoke BTW? It’s just been banned from all work places here so no smoking in bars.

You would also do well to bump this on Tues as Good Friday is a holiday here and most people aren’t working. Monday is a bank holiday and so most people are off work. Wohoo and four day wkend. Don’t ya just love Jesus sometimes :stuck_out_tongue:

nothing like respecting the crucifiction of Lord Jesus Christ with 6 cans of Guinness and a Diagnosis: Murder movie on BBC 1.

Lobelia, let me guess: Cork?

As opposed to a make-believe rabbit and a candy binge? Heh, heh.
No smoking in bars. :shakes head: We’re not smokers. But that’s still a depressing thought.

Tell me about it. I smoke and used to love and I really mean love bars. Now? Meh it’s been a week since I was in one and it will probably be meeting you that gets me into the next one :frowning:

I know. I’m a chainsmoker who loves going to pubs. Now it’s like sitting in the office canteen but with beer. Either that lurk in the backroom, among the kegs (with or without publican’s permission) with an illicit ciggie. We’re predicting a smoking ban baby boom because of this.

but the warnings say smoking make us infertile!

maybe a smoking ban divorce boom.

Hey, I just got your “location” tag. Very wicked!
I wouldn’t say it’s Cork city if it’s 5 hours each way by car. It’s quite hard to be 5 hours from Dublin by car. Though there are a few places in the west and southwest that could take 5 hours to get to/from.

My office is closed til Wednesday. Neener neener neener.

As for Lobelia, I was guessing West Cork or Kerry.

Sorry can’t. Going the weekend before that to the Big Shmoke to meet Dopers. Well probably.

Enjoy!

Well done ruadh, West Cork it is!!
