If you post you’re invited. Newbie or not.  
Pity about the timing.

Anahita,

if you are free to meet up, I’m sure something can be arranged. The more the merrier.

Well, I am not sure how it’ll work out, but here’s the deal…  
We fly into Dublin on Friday, Nov 30th. I’m sure we’ll be going out at least two of the following three nights: Fri, Sat or Sun. We leave on Monday. I am sure we could get together one of the nights. You could meet up with us at hub’s pub (tee hee, not like he owns it…but he “drinks” or used to at Birchall’s, I’m pretty sure it’s in Ranelagh or umm…another R place…what the hell is it called?)

Anyway, they are a great bunch of guys, hell, you may even already know them. Anyway, if you came along, it would be great. What do you think bout that?

Oh, yeah, Rathmines (Rat Mines). Anyway, let me know what you think…I could my first semi-dopefest?!?

Nil, in my case. I live in Sweden now. This is the first time I have been unhappy about that fact.

Looks like I’m missing out on what’s in danger of turning into the biggest funnest Dublin Dope ever. But hey, we can do this again in January, right? Have fun you guys!

Any chance of a Skåne/DaneDope?

I be lost again. ☹ I just went out to look for kimchee and elbow macaroni and well, the next thing I know I forgotted exactly how many times I crossed the Liffey and for that matter precisely what side of the River I live on.

Anyhoo, what **Twisty** says sounds good.

Everyone else, I will be in touch as soon as I um, finish uhhhh…decorating. 😉

Before anyone gets any ideas, let me remind everyone that my womb is US Territory and as such all the kids will be **AMERICANS** and have good **AMERICAN** names like Billy Bob or Lurlene.

And I will win the sweater/jumper war…oh yes, I will prevail…😉

What’s wrong with the lovely Abakebabra? Chips with garlic mayo and cheese are a great institution. How I ever lived withouth them I do not now understand.

Yep. Looks like it’s going to be in the CornerStone on Wexford Street, used to be the Junction and is across from the Bike Shop. Keep a eye on the thread to look for updates.

Cya there.

P.S.  
Cya soon **Anahita**

Grand - see you on Friday. It will be a bit of a walk from the CornerStone to the nearest Abrakebabra though. We might have to make do with Eddie Rockets across the road with it’s subliminal neon sign that just says ‘EAT’.

**Anahita** , probably won’t be free that weekend - enjoy the crack. BTW, you were right first time - Birchalls is in Ranelagh.

Top of Camden Street whatever that little street’s called beside Manhattan. Not far at all.

Sad or what?

Twisty and I are in Glasgow that Saturday night (at least I think we are - you checking your email, Twisty?). But I’d be up for meeting either the Friday or Sunday for a few _quiet_ ones (stop laughing everyone!!!).

Anyway the Cornerstone this Friday sounds good and I am up for Abrakebabra as well even _if_ they did get rid of my favourite burger :mad:
