If nowhere else is then my gaff in Stockwell will be. Am making a point of watching them all...

**dcfcsteve** · 11/03/2005, 5:37 PM

Davros - got your number thanks mate. Apologies for not PM'ing back to confirm.

Pauro - I'll be signing-up to Setanta over the weekend (I'm trying to drag that one year subscription out for as long as I can...

) Assuming all goes well and I get connected, you'll be welcome round to watch. I've got workmen coming round on Weds though, so the place will be a bit of a mess

Anyone else up for watching any of the games is welcome round as well.

Going good thanks!
Well-as good as can be; have coursework as well as an essay application for a summer school due in on Monday! So hoping to get back from London early enough to do a bit...what time do you reckon the main festivities finsihing; can't find it on the site.

**Babysis** · 13/03/2005, 9:29 AM

Hey

The festival finishes up at 6pm. Then its all back to Norf london and the party continues!!

**liam88** · 13/03/2005, 10:32 PM

Saw docters-50 000 strong crowd; mental!!!

Night

!

**Babysis** · 14/03/2005, 8:33 AM

What a day. The festival was fantastic. The saw Doctors were amazing. They bossed the crowd big time. Apart from a few eelits jumping in the (Green) fountains at Trafalgar Square, it was a brilliant day. Eveyone was out to party, there were no problems or upsets. Was a bit dissapointed in Ronnie Drew. He did the Festival 2 years ago, and was brilliant. But this year I think his age has caught up with him. Anyways, heres to Thursday.

**dcfcsteve** · 14/03/2005, 8:46 PM

Pauro,

Setanta all signed-up for today and working a treat. Though - feck me, they carry a lot of ads on the channel !

If you want to come round to watch the game tromorrow night, drop me a PM and I'll send you my address.

Same for anyone else for any of the games.

Cheers,

Steve

**Green Tribe** · 14/03/2005, 9:02 PM

ha ha , what if you get 100's turning up????!!!!

**dcfcsteve** · 14/03/2005, 11:20 PM

I'll open-up a small bar in the corner of me living room

**Green Tribe** · 14/03/2005, 11:53 PM

ok, i'll get the train down tomorrow.......

**Pauro 76** · 16/03/2005, 7:20 AM

Didnt get to see the game, had a choice of working Tuesday or Friday (day after Paddy's Day) Judging by the state i will be in on Friday, had to work Tues night at the bar. But Paddy's Day tomorrow, where will everyone be, will probably be in the Swan, Stockwell for the night but in town earlier during the day, let us know where your all at, and will have a few!

By the way Steve, did the 100's turn up?

**Babysis** · 17/03/2005, 12:32 PM

For anyone who might be interested, the irish post and the irish world websites have a small bit about the parade and festival last weekend.

I've got to do some work until about 9pm this evening, then will be on the rip somewhere - probably up in town. Outside chance I might make the Swan Pauro, as it's 2mins form my house, so could well see you in there

As for the mongul hordes descending on my gaff to watch the Glens v Longford game - I was blissfully unaccompanied

Given that I'm in the middle of painting the place, it probably wasn't such a bad thing to be honest.

Open door policy again for next Tuesday's Shels v Linfield game if any one is interested. Bring yer own paintbrush.... !

looking like the Claddagh Ring, Hendon at the moment for this evening, but have to work tomorrow so the Swan is looking unlikely unfortunately! but must arrange a night out there sometime, was there last weekend with a few mates from Dublin, but i like the place, its such a change from the tosser clubs of central london! have a great Paddy's Day everyone, in Ladbroke Grove down a pub with an ex bar workmate there, was the first Irishman in the pub so a few free pints came my way!
