TOPIC:

So currently it looks like

1) sbillings
2) AFIM
3) KenMc
4) RichieH
5) IPA
6) marceldesailly

2 more (or less!) would make this ideal

you can get the 4/4a/7 from westland row to o'connell street (stop is directly across from pearse st station). they're reasonably regular but have the annoying habit of tending to bunch up together rather than being every 5 minutes.

sadly i won't make the wednesday, heading to the dirty three in whelans but depending on what time you start i could make the gingerman.

sounds like a good session.

Count me in, provisionally. Sounds ace.

all this talk of busses! sure it's only a 15 minute walk! by the time you wait for one and sit around in traffic you're faster walking. Also the walk takes you right past messrs <!-- s:idea: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_idea.gif" alt="" title="Idea" /><!-- s:idea: -->

The idea was to get a DB from pub one to pub two and then walk as alcohol makes you unsafe on the road after that. That is why I chose to go from the Gingerman straight to Murray's, bypassing Messers; then back down to Messers by foot. It also puts the pitchers in the first two pubs and allows for different drinking paces to emerge in the non-pitcher Messers.

Mind you, I suppose not everyone uses DBs and now that I look at the possible numbers, we might have a job getting enough DBs to do all of us. Do you think we should change the running order to Gingerman, Messers, Murray's?

No, your logic is sound regarding pitchers and drinking speeds breaking down thereafter. However I think walking will still be faster than busing. A good brisk walk will have me there in 15 minutes, google maps says it's only 1.5km. Cyclists will be there in 5, which gives them time to fight some celtic fans for seats, get to the bar, order, and pour before I make my grand entrance!
