[Michael Palaeologus]

Me, Me, Me

[dulwichmum]

Any more, now there are three of us!

Michael, Peckhamgatecrasher and me! I am going I promise. I can't wait and I am planning my wardrobe already. I am going as a priest's housekeeper and ordering a dress type wrap around apron on the net right now.

[SimonM]

But will there be any women in the nip?!

[SeanMacGabhann]

don't put thoughts in my head Simon!

Only thing is people, if this year sold out in 30 mins, there is no guarantee we will get any next year either

So this year, the trip to Youghal is back on?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes. That would be a good thing.

Can we go dressed Father Ted stylee?

[hibbs]

Are you really off to Youghal this year?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be - why?

[hibbs]

coz I is going and wondered if you would be there at the same time...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Nothing has been organised yet - so we could coordinate. PM'd

[SeanMacGabhann]

it rather begs the question hibbs.. what's your connection with Youghal?

Ah well - there's always the next best option - scarcely discernible (?) from the real thing...the annual Southwark Irish Festival down on Peckham Rye.

Mind you, of course, given the dates and location of the real thing: the P Rye one has a sporting chance of not being lashed off the face of the earth with rain.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

In my experience of the Irish Festival one becomes lashed off one's face with beer!

Well the only option left is to galvanise an army of hardcore fans dressed as characters from the show (I think I would make a passable Dougal) to storm the perimeter fence. Much like Glastonbury in days passed.

[Michael Palaeologus]

and we could all go to Youghal :)) It being Father Sean's Heimat.

A concensus is building in that direction ..............

[SeanMacGabhann]

what? - a census that's a lie?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Arf!

There are about 6 people gagging to go to Youghal.

Father Sean do you really want us to go to your home town, unescorted?

[SeanMacGabhann]

what, I'm not a good enough escort?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Thats all I needed to know :))

[SimonM]

Youghal brings back many happy memories to me of driving between Rosslare and Cork, and stopping there for either a coffee near the Arch in the one-way system, or a Guinness and orange-cheese sandwich in one of the pubs (every Irish pub seems to sell cheese sandwiches with processed orange cheese in...). I remember too first pronouncing "Youghal" to rhyme with "Dougal".... ahem

[SeanMacGabhann]

And in further Ted news...

Follow that van...
