      ah now, you don’t need me there!

      But i am back mid august and will be dying to hear about the heatwave – I am off to snow in New Zealand this weekend :)

      I was just about to post asking about our next shindig. Sometime in August would be good to give time to rally support. So what Friday works best?

      Aphra, this heatwave is slowly killing us all. After days of blistering heat, it rained for the first time in ages last night. I just had to go out and enjoy it. Now I have a cold. You just can’t win. :roll:

      Port Loaise or Athlone is right in the middle of the country. :P j/k

      But seriously though? Why Dublin all the time? Most people only go to Dublin to work becuase there are no good jobs anywhere else. Why not some other city like Cork or Galway or something?

      Cos the shidigs are hap-hazzard at best. The fun is who will happen to get off work and show up. Plus most people have places to stay in Dublin, one way or another.

      14 hours left in the country and I’m here posting about MMO……

      Ah well, the game is still in development, but I believe is in Beta by now. Last title I heard was Pax Britannica.

      Roman Britain with a pricing structure thats supports both pay once, play forever (like guild wars) and pay more get more (second life).

      Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m inexcusably sober for my last night on Irish soil.

      I’ll be in the Mercantile on Dame St. if anyone is looking for a drink and to play some board games
