8.30pm is a good time I think. Not too early, not too late. I can be there for anytime though. Will we go for the Gin Palace then sure?

8.30pm seems ridiculously early. :) 9.30pm seems better? (says me who isn't even going yet :D )

Would it start to fill up around 9.30? If HS could be there early that would be great and as soon as Mystic and I get the gladrags on we will be there.

I've no problem sitting on my own for an hour, it'll be like a night at the Belfield Bowl.. Dman can head out then when the X-factor is over... ;)

Seriously though, how about we split the difference and go for 9.00pm then?

Yeah sounds like a plan batman. We will try be there around then. I intend spending the day shoppping in Dublin with the kids and then putting them on a bus home before going to wash the city crud off and hit the pub.

Are we happy with 9pm, Gin Palace on Saturday next then?

We can get it pinned as an announcement once confirmed.

It's pretty central in fairness so we can always move if we have any inclination to.

Magicme

Yeah thats fine for me and the mystic one. So who is going?

All the more reason to have it in Cork then.
I can feel a Shams style boycott from the Cork contingent. :D

Where's all the Dublin clubs' fans?

Well, the Cork forum is decimated these days, so I guess the bias must be obsolete at this stage. Plus of course these days the hue and cry is around the abundance of UCD mods. Perhaps they should be hosting us at one of those college parties I've heard so much about. :)

I won't make it (have a 40th to go to). However...

Have you tried Wynn's? Think it was reasonable enough last time I was there.

Despite the name, hostelbooker.com will search through hostels and hotels in Dublin and you can organise the results by location and price.

I dont see any of the UCD ones bar Dman having their names down. Stu has to come so that everyone can call him Michael McIntyre and we can try get people to ask for his autograph.

Tell the 40 yr old they are too old to have a party and you are going elsewhere! Yeah tried Wynns but like most places it was either booked out or over �100.

Thank you sir but did try them. Eventually went with a tried and trusted a bit out of the city so will be taxiing out to the Ardmore in Finglas.
�49 for the room makes it not so bad.
