Yes, already got my travel and doss house sorted for the week of ICE and iGB so will be there. Is the middle floor not the same one as last year? A little idea - to save a few quid for yourself, any chance of binning off the Shagging Shamrocks or whatever the Irish music lot are called? Last year I had to strain to hear @goatwack and others when making conversation, had to shout at each other to hear and end up hoarse!

As it's a 'meeting' where merriment and conversation are the prime reasons for attendance maybe just get an old Enya CD and stick it on loop at low 'hotel lift' volume so we can all speak?

Happy news of the week!!

We've had the Shagging Shamrocks for for years. Was it only me who was into them?

Should we put it to a vote? lol

 

[goatwack]

As there are rarely any public displays of affection these days with the missus, let's see if we can get Playford in there as my +1.

Chances are no one's going to notice anyway, as the difference is negligible

What, I thought it's the same band every year lol

Not gonna be hat tips collector this time tho

Yes, there is that as well, what with the cost of living crisis lol

I must admit I found it slightly incongruent paying money to those who had tried to deafen me for 2 hours.

I reckon so as I don't even recall anyone Irish being at the meetings. Just destroys conversation, so people have to lean into each others personal space to hear what they are saying. Which is fine if they all look like Jelena or Karolina but @goatwack @Simmo! @KasinoKing ??!!

I have to agree with Dunover.
They're very good - I just wish they could be 20 metres away from the party!
Being "an older gentleman" I have a real problem hearing what people are saying if there's any sort of loud-ish background noise

So anyway, as the date is NOT during half-term - take this as my RSVP

"They're very good - I just wish they could be 20 metres tube stops away from the party!"

 

[Webzcas]

My hearing is shot to &*&*( in enclosed environments anyhow which features lots of background noise. Personally I like the band

 

[neilw]

It's Bryan's call, but it's good to raise it. They are not to my taste, but not withstanding that they are just too loud for the venue, so you can't chat and feel at ease - which I guess is why a lot of people decamp and join the smokers outside!

Good point - there was me thinking I was popular for a moment, as when I went outside for a rollie loads of people followed. Now I know the truth....

 

[dunover]

Hey - @Casinomeister !

We need you to add a 'Bin the Bloody Band' poll to the thread.

Trouble is, you would have to only allow votes from proven historical attendees who have experienced previous eardrum assaults in order to get a fair considered result.

 

[slotmaster]

Make sure @Jelena_PragmaticPlay knows the right year and date closer to the event. ?

 

[interlog]

All being well, I will attend again this year

It's because you're supposed to be dancing an Irish jig - not talking LOL.

We'll leave that sort of nonsense to Michael Flatley DVDs. :machinegunner:

 

[The Dude]

So let's put it to a vote - when you RSVP you can select Y/N whether you'd like an Irish band or not

So let me know here when you RSVP

I do think they add a vibrancy and atmosphere to proceedings, despite our minor grumblings, and so it would be a shame to see them not there when all's said and done.

If all else fails, we all have a few weeks to learn sign language, or bring loudspeakers with us

Vibrancy? The only things vibrating are the glasses to the penetrative screaming strains of that f*ucking fiddle!!

Atmosphere? Do we all dress up as leprechauns or something?

Well, it looks like it's another 3 hours outside on the pavement in 2024, occasionally descending the stairs to scream at or sign-language the bar staff for another drink. Can someone sprinkle fetanyl on their seats before we start the meeting?

Problem is, people who are not coming may RSVP in the Shagging Shamrocks affirmative just to make those attending suffer again like some sick sadistic joke. Only those who we/you know to have actually experienced the overpowering racket should be allowed to vote lol

Pardon? Say again? You want to dress up and watch leper porn??

Speak up!
