Mate when did you send your application in?  BTW got the same flights as you and in the same Hotel - Beerfest

Not another one in the same hotel.

[Swoop]

Not another one in the same hotel.

Must remember my t-shirt "its not my round"

[cowtownred]

Brian, you must've amended your post before I replied.

Same flights... fookin class!  Get in!  Might have a beer or two before going continental?

Same hotel... brill!   Thought you posted it was booked out?

The link on page one leads to a website that is showing fully booked - I went through Expedia - job done - fookin class mate:-)  Think a pint or two could be arranged pre flight, although I think there will be a hell of a queu at the bar - seems the flight has at least twenty of us on it! 

[anon-y-mouse]

Brian, you got any suggestions what we can do to amuse ourselves for 5 hours at Dublin airport? Do we have time to go into town and have a nosey?

[Swoop]

BTW way Shaun, cant wait for Sunday mate - been too long since we shared a beer and it seems like forever since Istanbul.  The Albert after the game - I'm wont sleep before the game, back in Liverpool already tonight so will just have to bounce into town tommorrow night and see who's about.

Really looking forward to Brussels.  Hangovers - you just gotta love em!!

Raptor man, Dublin is good but what time you getting in?? not that great during the day but a damm sight better than sitting in the Airport.  Let me know who is around and what time and I'll see if I can blag us a deal in a bar.

[Swoop]

OK lads n lassess, just made a quick call.  Give me a head count of who will be in Dubs with a few hours to spare pre flight - got an inside track on a freebie session - might not come off but I will try my hardest, I know the crew involved, they wont be expecting a footy crowd thats for sure. 

If I manage to get it sorted I garuntee you will board the flight in a very merry state and with a grin as wide as the mersey tunnel The fact that I am leaving Dublin at the end of the year helps - if you dont need to keep your bosses happy etc etc 

[Fitz.]

Only messin mate, it's in there with mine and the twat who blagged himself a free ticket for Sunday.

I said hello to Eve and then forgot about her, I aws going to go and talk to her and then suddenly thought 'Shit, i've got 5 minutes to go two miles.'

Brian, you have myself, Helly, Eve, J-P, blurred and Lo, possibly sez and one or two others. If there's beer involved you can bet Shaun will be along.

Do one you. BTW longe cricket is now acceptable on sunday as the plasma is staying behind at the old house for a few days.

Top news, I've been practising on similar wickets!

Developed a well-disguised 'flipper' that should have old Mr.Pad everything away-with-my-head in serious diffs!

[Swoop]

Cool, well to let you know what I'm trying, got a new bar/resteraunt opening that one of my managers is sponsoring - its test day on Wednsday and they need a crowd to test the staff out etc.

So I have asked for a dozen tickets, if my boss doesnt get wind of what Im doing its free food and beer, and knowing him tons of champagne.  Will know by wednesday.  Anyway see you all tommorrow, and hopefully it will be a champange reunion after beating the yanks.

We fly out on tuesday.

[Swoop]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh feck it, my addled brain.  Too much vodka red bull this week!! Must lay off it!

K, will see if I can blag him to do a session on Tuesday, if not reckon its a fast cab into town for a few swift ones, or theres a couple of half decent bars in the terminal.  Depends on time you are arriving as getting through departures can take over an hour.

[blurred]

We're on the first flight over in the morning, so land about 8ish, and then we're off at about 2 or half two in the afternoon...just by way of a reminder

[Swoop]

Cheers blurred,

Think the general consensus at Hotel helly yesterday was that unless you have a desperate need to be consuming alcohol at that time in the mor ning we would just hang in the airport, aided by a few cold tinnies supplied by yours truly.

You could do a dash into town but youd probably only have around 2 hours max in town.  I know 3 bars that would be open but I think I'll wait for the airport bars to open.

Havent managed to switch the day for the bar opening, soz.

[Swoop]

Yep,

was with Shaun (cowtownred) and Neil the kiwi guy in the cammo trousers.

BTW, thanks Helly & brad for the open house.  Compled a weekend that involved 4 hous of sleep and another attempt to kill my liver

Graet weekend.

[Swoop]

Ok elly, I think from now on all RAWK memebers on entering Hotel Helly sould be issued with a big sticker with thier username on it, this will save time when trying to engage in conversation with newcomers and runks alike

Whaddya reckon?

[Hightown Phil]

I still have no idea who you are. Unless you were the fella with glasses?

[Swoop]

Me on the right - no posting to the ugly thread!

[Hightown Phil]

I do indeed wear bin lids.

Then I now know who you are.

Brian, regrettably I do indeed feel the need for early morning beers at the start of a Euro away!

Sorry lads, I must apologise for not introducing Brian to all present yesterday. I was so anxious to attack the grub (and a great spread...ta ladies) before Philip ate everything, that I didn't introduce Brian to all he hadn't met.  Sorry bout that, feel partly responsible.

However, the situation will be rectified in Dublin/Brussels... rest assured.

[cowtownred]

By way of apology:

[Hightown Phil]

I guessed right then.

[Hightown Phil]

No worries Shaun, not your fault at all. I think everyone was eager to get a load of the ladies' spread (ooo er missus).

Those doughnuts were fucking great.

[Swoop]

Those donought were legend mate, never had one with jam and cream before!  Didnt help me cholestral levels much though...

[blurred]

Hanging in the airport will probably work for us, Swoop - will probably be after some kip at that early stage in the morning what with having to be at the bloomin' airport not long after 6 in the morning...

Eh, pardon?

Me n Mark will be looking for some hot party action mate!

And besides, you know I'm lively in the morning, well Id have to be given how quickly I fade at night!!

Im certain Dublin Airport has a suitable area set aside for lounge cricketers!

[Swoop]

Party action is possible,  cricketing, mmm the Gardia may take issue - philistines

[GlentoranMark]

Wire the Garda €10 and you'll be fine!! 

[IrishRed]

My order history (times 2)  also showing confirmed (times 2).   1000 loyalty points each.


Hope this is true...

don't be suprised it its just registering your application Shaun

same happened with me and betis - they then decided to inform me that the system has slightly changed this year.  would be tempted to give them a shout to confirm

You are likely right Rich.

[mally1]

there are 12 of us on the 14.40 to charleio and we are on the 7.am to dublin from liverpool

[Swoop]

Plus me and Shaun from the Irish side and I bet there will be a load of non RAWKites on it as well.

Your not going to be too bevvied then when you take off for Brussels?  I hate noisy planes full of yobs!

[anon-y-mouse]

I reckon that 14-40 from Dublin will be more than half full of people going the match. Now, who knows the best way from Charleroi to Brussels.
