      I know the november one hasn’t even happened yet, but its time to book those flights home for xmas before the prices sky-rocket.
      There is a possibility I’ll be around one 17th and 18th December if something is happening around then.
      Is there ??

      I would also like to vote for the 17th (Fri) or the 18th (Saturday)

      Preferably the 18th as I will be up very early on the 17th to catch the flight home.

      17th is not out of the question – I’d just have to have a nap beforehand :p

      Wow…this might actually be the first shindig I manage to get too. Although once I cross the pond I have no idea of arrangements / transport / accomodation, so I can only hope.

      I feel I must explain my absence from the site and shindigs, I’m currently travelling in South America with a few friends for a year or so. There’s a picture log in the travel section of my site.

      All the best,

      1. turn up
      2. prevent Dave from dancing
      3. have Dave buy all of us pints every time he suggests going on to Fibbers
      4. see if we can go a whole evening without slagging off the NGage Challenge

      OK…WHAT? first the smoking ban, then a ban on junk food advertisments on TV, then the hoff becomes even more of a legend…but this is just taking things TOO FAR!!!!!! Do you hear me TOO FAR!!!!

      17/18 is good – selfishly, I’d rather 17th but don’t mind me.

      Something special? Well, it’s Crimbo – how ’bout bringing a bit of festive spirit? Ye each bring a Crimbo card, signed with good wishes and all that, put them all in a bag, and everybody picks one (preferably not theirs :rolleyes: ). Here ya go, Xmas 2004 with extra good wishes. :D

      Aphra, dear poor Aphra. Is “Kerry” STILL the only thing you can come up with (despite having returned to your small town/settlement roots)? At least the others are still trying to recycle the pathetic old ideas that they theselves have already become tainted with.

      And Doyles is kinda traditional for xmas anyway, right?

      Sweat, Ian. He has been pursued by security guards throughout the maternity wing of the paediatric hospital, after having his shirt ripped clean off when it caught on the barbed wire security fence when KITT botched a textbook ejectorseat manouvre over the hospital wall. We see him here posing with the snatched child just before the Feds caught up with him. Allegedly……

      Either that or he was sponged off by an adoring German fan

      Hi guys,

      Just to let you all know that Toner’s has been booked for Friday 17th December from 7pm. They said it’ll be busy, and that they can hold two tables until then but if anyone can be around earlier, say from 6.30 I’ll be there, my last day of exams so I’ll be going out on the lash with my class that evening so anyone who gets there earlier would be appreciated.

      Hoff fever was only beginning when I was with Torc for work ex. Now thanks to Pete the place is turning into Hasselvania.

      Also Pete, pretending you still live in Dublin is getting old. Take some pride in being a born again culchie. ;)

      “He said: “Many Americans joke about my popularity in Germany. But they have no idea how beautiful Europe is and how rich it is in culture and fun and warmth and children.” very weird… not to mention, a bit suspect
