[Mr. Mulder]

Has anyone here ever been? Recommend anything to do over there? Because I was thinking drinking :01:

You can, uh, sing in the pub while drinking. :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

that seems a little gay tbh :ermm:

[Snee]

Or irish, if you will.

I've been there with a College trip. I think mainly people just drink in Dublin.

JP will tell me I'm wrong, but I'm not :shifty:

There was also singing, wasn't there?

[manker]

There was also singing, wasn't there?I remember some singing. Not much tho'

We were all underage so kept a bit quiet and got drunk with barely a whisper.

[Snee]

'twas prolly 'cos you were only visiting. :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

i'll be there for 4 days, do they have food there or is it just drink? :unsure:

[manker]

i'll be there for 4 days, do they have food there or is it just drink? :unsure:All Irishmen are skinny. I think it's fairly safe to say only drink.

There is a lot of nourishment in a pint of Guiness - but take some crisps, just in case :unsure:

Drink IS food... :01:

[Snee]

They've also got glorious music to sustain them.

Take a trip round the city on one of the open top buses*. Lovely place. Tour the Guinness factory. Beautiful place(On the way out :) ).
I was told to avoid the City centre at night time. This from an Irishman who has lived there all his life.

Dont take the Guinness pint off the bar until the barman tells you it is ready. They fill the about threequarters full then allow them to 'settle' a bit before finally topping them up. :)


* There are a lot of open top buses. Dont know if they started out that way or have had them 'opened' on the assumption that they were cans of Guinness. :lol: :lol:

[Barbarossa]

If you've got time (and it's still going at this time of the year), do the Viking Adventure tour, it's on a refitted WW2 Amphibious vehicle, and they take you into the water and around the canal.. It's tremendous!!

:)

If you leave it to settle for the perscribed time, the froth gets a little less viscous and you can etch a shamrock (or whatever) into it :)

[Mr. Mulder]

Do you wish some cultural stuff as well.

no no, just fun stuff please :)

Nice info on the guinness, they do that in some british pubs, but not many, depends if the lazy bar steward is over 30 i think :unsure:

[manker]

I used to do it and I've never been over 30. Unless you're saying that over 30s are lazy bar stewards, if so I tend to agree :01:

[Mr. Mulder]

It’s been my experience that younger bar stewards have no time for ale settlement and can only pull the tops of wkd’s, not all of them, but a large percentage :unsure:

[manker]

If I'm ever about while you're in the pub, I'll pop behind the bar and give you one.

Restore your faith in the under 30s bar steward ;)

Ooor eeeer :unsure:

Plz don’t take offence, 30 was just an example, it’s the stewards that are my age that are really in question ;)

[(>Zero Cool<)]

I've never been but would love to go.

My mates have been there on various occasions and they have nothing but glowing reports for all that you find. The folks, drink, food, night life etc are supposed to be great. Though I have heard it is at the pricier end of the market.

If you get a chance go :) , in fact if you get achance take me with you :01: and I shall protect you from mankers amorous advances so he is unable to give you one :blink:

[manker]

I'll still find a way :shifty:

Don't worry rob, hadn't crossed my mind. Tis impossible, anyway :D

[Snee]

:starcrossedlovers: :(

[Mr. Mulder]

[manker]

Starcrossed? :huh:


I'm getting discombobulated a lot today.

Do you keep your trousers on for that? :unsure:
