And SA, because I'm a terrible person, I completely forgot to reply to you. Come! However, could it possibly be next weekend? Because I don't think there's any others we can do, as we're heading back up to Dublin this weekend to go to the comic-con, then our work Christmas do is the weekend after next.
I was wondering! But next weekend *should* be fine. I'm going to Co Meath this weekend, and I thought a Dec. weekend might work better for me, but I can work around your schedule. You're going to have to give me a good place to get directions, though!
There's a comic-con this weekend in Dublin? How long are you going to be here?
As providential as the whole Nenagh thing is, I'm facing into a deadline or two at the moment. But I travel to Galway a lot. Have you been there? If you want to, we could co-ordinate while I'm up there and I could show you around. Fish and chips at McDonaghs. Christmas hot whiskeys in Tigh Choilí's. Nora Barnacle's childhood home. That wall that birthed the verb 'to lynch'. The street Angel was sired on. The insider enchilada.
That is just crazy, that you're twenty minutes away. Nuts. I have been to Galway, twice now, and unfortunately I don't anticipate getting out there before I leave for the UK. Could you maybe do a pint with us sometime next weekend? It'd be nice to do the Buffista thing with you while I'm still in the country!
Ireland is right on the edge of Europe! How about a proper middle-of-Europe F2F? Nah, not happening, is it?
The Europeans should all schedule time in France or something in the spring. It would rocketh.
UKers(preferably somebody who's also eaten USA ice cream treats) what is a 99 in ice cream bars? I'm reading a book from London and they think I know, and I don't.

I'll try. I'd say so. There's a nice wine bar that recently opened in Nenagh that's pretty atypical for the place. Perhaps?

A 99 is an ice-cream cone with a Cadbury's Flake in it.
And a Cadbury's Flake is...?
It's only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before. Or, alternatively...
Thank you.
It's not exactly important to the plot, but it does help me picture what they are doing.

Yup. In the Temble Bar Music Centre, so far as I know. We're getting the bus up after work on Friday, and then getting it back down on Sunday. Blergh.
Any of the Dublin comic shops should be able to tell you about the con. It's on Saturday, and Ireland's first, which means it will be small and crappy, but still.
Perhaps?
Woohoo!
Mmmmmm! Cadbury's Flake!
I've been saying for years that they should make Flakes in different kinds of chocolate, the way that Aero does. I think that the Snowflake should simply be a white chocolate flake, and that there should also be an orange chocolate flake and a mint chocolate flake and a dark chocolate flake and possibly even a mocha flake and
oh my god now I am ravenous!!!!!!!!
runs away to buy a Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks.
Munich!
Yes! It being only a couple of hours drive from me 'n' all. Hard for me to go much further afield with the two wee ones.
Also, kudos on the tag.
Love that Numberwang. The whole show was pretty good; perfectly pitched to my silly level.
