Hell - I hope! His reason for always being a shithead was according to his best mate because he knew he'd end up marrying me and it scared him! Well I'm getting married next year - and ut ain't to him!!!!
Thats the pains of living with two generations - get wrong off one, get wrong off both!!!! My mam and dad divorced when I was a bairn and we moved in with gran!
I'm a big girl now so I don't get grounded any more (although I'm still scared of my gran!!!!)
I think we're all still scared of our gran's, mine's a foot smaller than me and I'm still scared of her!

Glad to here you've got out of there!
She's class though - best gran in the world! 77 - works 3 days a week, does all our washing and ironing, makes us corned beef pies every month, has a better social life than me .... she's mint!!!
Dunky, the point I’m trying to make is that you may be interested in the pub culture in Ireland but it’s not all about you all the time ya know . Some people actually ARE interested in the sporting culture in Ireland and other stuff and this thread IS about coming to Dublin and the whole travel aspect and all that
is so always about me
in all seriousness i would think that 90% of the people coming from the uk to see this gig are going to be doing exactly the same as each other
flight
hotel
touristy thing
pub
gig
pub
,etc
i dont think that many are actually interested in hearing about hurling leagues or cups or whatever it was! they might appear interested and will nod politely and maybe even ask a question about it... i will show my enthusiasm though by yawning about it and ignoring the general hurling chit-chat
i bet you'd do the same if, on the day of the Astoria gig, England were playing some big cricket match against Australia and people were trying to tell you its a cultural sport in england and this is the biggest game since giants invented Twister, etc etc... you'd be as bored as hell!!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
the gig is in august mind... he'll need his Factor 4000 sun cream.
woo-hoo post 2500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what I want. 70 heading down the pub with me mates for a few scoops, home watch the footie and listen to pearl jam and be on the net talking to you lot about that poster from 2006 tour and about the tix presale so we can all meet up the front of the community centre for the reunion tour!! (Eddie will do three solo albums after splitting up the band but mike will be the most successful solo artist of the lot. Jeff will win the world over 40 snowboarding title and I will have sung on stone's second album and the single with me singing on it will be the first and only single release from the album!!! - no wonder he's pissed!)

woo-hoo post 2500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know - for a ginga he doesn't burn!!! And he's a good looking ginga too! Anyway he's funny - it's what made me fall in love with him - life is never dull!!!!! (puke vomit puke)
I get your point HH but also Dunk's. I guess if people were coming over for a holiday, they would be much more open to everything the country has to offer. Here, you will have a bunch of people coming for one reason only - Pearl Jam. OK maybe for the guiness as well! They will arrive shortly before the gig and leave shortly after and will be completely pissed. What do expect from them?
PS - I'm interested in Irish culture - just not really a sports person (I need to keep the Irish happy!)

i agree... if i was over for a week or something i'd be soaking in more of the irish way of life, try and get a flavour of it.. i mean Helen was in London for 3 days for the PJ gig and she probably spent 2.5 of those days in a pub
its different for the likes of Newagehippie... this is a vacation for him.. to me its just an excuse to get pissed on a Wednesday
but i get your point hells.. just in this case the majority of us only wanna see PJ and the pub... its a short trip!

It's all about the four p's (or peas) - pub, Pearl Jam, party,pub! Or maybe 5 peas - pub, Pearl Jam, pub, party, pub. Shiiit, maybe 10? pub, Pearl Jam, pub, party, puke, pub, puke, plane, pub, preparation for Reading. :eek:
Lol, well I suppose it doesn’t matter cos, no matter where we camp, there WILL be a pub within walking distance
‘i bet you'd do the same if, on the day of the Astoria gig, England were playing some big cricket match against Australia’
Oh you DIDN’T just compare Hurling to Cricket, did ya? :eek: Lol, I lived in London for a YEAR and wasn’t aware of ANY cricket matches – it would be impossible to live in Ireland and be unaware of the hurling or football matches . Croke park is more than just a stadium, it's the heart of sporting Ireland and pretty historical too...
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
Wow, I don’t understand why people are making such a big deal over this when EVERYTHING else goes in this thread :rolleyes: . A couple of us posted a couple of things about what’s going on in Ireland NOW and at the time of the concert and for the first time, this is an untouchable topic despite the fact that it’s a thread about a load of people coming to Dublin??? Just trying to be helpful! Ah I don’t get it.

I think we should talk about pea's again! "Pea's rule"! There, my hat is in the ring....discuss....
Knowing how Ed likes a drink...I wonder if he'll be frequenting any Irish boozers before or after the show? There you go, a friendly topic, free of sports and green vegetables! Discuss...
