I'll remember that.....
I got into guiness as a kid 7 years old in Dublin at a family wedding, me old grandad kept sending me through to the living room for a bottle so I would bring 1 for him and 1 for me :lol: got a pic somewhere of him in the chair pissed with me propping myself up on the chair in a shamrock green velvet waistcoat pissed :lol:

I won't see it pass this year, route runs 25 miles away on the Tuesday.

I worked for Guiness for a while and the stuff in the bottle was awful, the draft is a nice drink though, i hope the bottled stuff didnt put you off :lol:

I can imagine picture in the waistcoat :lol:

 

[crazylegs]

I'll be doing it too ,maybe not the whole lot as other years but as much as I can .
The best thing I can say about it is it takes at least a week and two full days sleep after it to come back to reality again .

 

[Guest]

well i hope you raise lots of money and have fun :wink: looks like a good cause

Posting this whilst on family holiday in Ireland so shouldn't really be on line :mrgreen:

Slightly off topic but:

I have an acre of land in County Galway where I'm restoring an old mill, I only said the other day it would be great to get lots of the EB guys over for a long weekend or similar next year. Anyone up for a few days/long weekend in County Galway?. Approx 2.5 hours from Dublin and an hour from Lahinch (surf centre of Ireland) so thought could combine camping and a run to the beech etc, space for at least 30 vans in the field.

Perhaps we could combine it with a leg of Eireball 2009?

If anyone is seriously interested I'm happy to make arrangements etc, might need an artic for the delivery of Guiness & Cider though :mrgreen:

 

[Guest]

Sounds like a great idea graham

i know some really nice secret spots for less crowds as well :wink: , im too fat to surf them myself now

 

[Araon]

Now that sounds like a plan........count us in

 

[Guest]

just had an idea, you could have a paint party :lol:

30 EBers should get it done in no time :wink:

The Mill is at a place called Liss which is betwen Loughrea & Woodford on the R351 (I think), on the border of County Galway and County Clare.

Currently staying on a campsite in Doolin on the west coast (on line via a vodafone 3G card)

Thanks for the responses, sound like I better put a plan together, but Johnny painting is a long way off, plenty of stonework, render, roofing, windows etc to do first.
