If You're Chillin' - An Síbín Reoite

Acers are lovely - but you're older than 22 aren't you?

Nope, I'm 22 - I'll be 23 in November so it is 22 and several months.

She's calling you old johnfas. If you were a girl that would be grounds to throw down. I think you could take Kate P too.

Anyone like a warming up cocktail ?

I had a mad cocktail the other night- a black sambuca backdraft. Ouch

Do you want to talk us through that, floatingalway ?

It was exactly like that! My eyesight went and all! I blame the Kiwi barman in the Salthouse pub in Galway. He always manages to corrupt me.

It looks more like something to do with the Black Arts than a cocktail.

Yeah, it seems so complicated. In the wrong hands, the consequences could be ruinous!

Heh heh heh, that's it cactus, a pint of mojito is your only man!

Beer anyone, alcoholic or non, depending on your preference?

i'm off to bed now, like Kate P, I have an early start.

Great posting there - I'll have a good browse through those threads again tomorrow.

Cheers !

It's a lovely night, isn't it? Full of fun, activity, opinions and so on. I think I'll have a weissbier myself. That'd do me fine.

Pour me a Guinness and leave it settle 'til Wednesday afternoon. Another exam down this morning - 4 down, 1 to go.

Cheers johnfas, will do. And good luck with the last exam.

Cheers cactus. Bloody Law Society fiends! The whole thing is a money making exercise on their behalf and a numerical limitation on the number of people who can qualify. Most of the papers have a 40% pass rate. I don't believe for an instant that only 40% of people who sit the exams deserve to pass - particularly given the effort everyone puts in and the fact that everyone sitting them has already made it through university.

Dispersed costs (to students) and concentrated benefits (to Law Society) - does that describe it? Basturds, as Auditory #9 would say.

Anybody up for an aould jar or is it too early? Any of ye watch the match in the pub last night? Cyprus NIL: Ireland ONE ?

I was watching the match at a revolving bar!

I went to the pub, tripped over a bit of tumbleweed and went home with my tail between my legs. Pubs just ain't what they used to be.

I heard you like to get around. Where was that?

Leopardstown Inn which is near the Sandyford Industrial Estate in Dublin. Nice pub but they do cocktails which means the night always ends up rather expensive.

You couldn't even smoke the tumbleweed I suppose. Drinkers are bad enough in this country but smoking drinkers are the scum of the earth. Or treated like that .

At least you can smoke in the Sibín Reoite !!
