[QUOTE=“Mark Renton, post: 984500, member: 1796”]Well, it was an Asian establishment, pal…
However,
Tiger is a fine beer. Singha is a fine beer. Tsingtao is a fine beer. Beer Laos (tho not in this establishment) is a noble beer.
It’s not my fault you haven’t lived, mate. You’re a young chap, take your self off for an extended trip around the world and live a little. Drinking Carling in Mid-lands UK must be wearing thin at this stage?
@mickee321[/USER] will show you around Israel- [USER=232]@Turenne[/USER] will host you in Singapore and you have [USER=236]@Fitzy[/USER] , [USER=273]@caoimhaoin[/USER] and [USER=208]@KIB man in Oz!
Between them you won’t be stuck for the address of a good knocking shop any where in the world.[/QUOTE]
Thanks mate, booked for 6.30 and salivating at the thoughts of it. I had a HIIT session in the racecourse at lunchtime so I have unnatural savage sort of a hunger hanging over me.
I like Salthill and the Aran Islands but i find Galway city itself to be too touristy.It doesn’t have the lovely georgian architecture and sweeping long streets that Limerick has.
Could be moved to another track for two years if this happens, Sligo, Ballinrobe, Limerick have all been mentioned although questions raised over if any of those would have the technical know-how to run the fourth biggest annual racing festival in the world. No where in Clare was mentioned because Clare doesn’t have a race-course
Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway could be without a race meeting for two years if the proposed city bypass cuts through the Ballybrit facility.
The manager of Galway Racecourse says a bypass route through the racecourse would have a ‘drastic effect,’ and could see the 150th summer racing festival cancelled in 2019.
Four of the six proposed bypass routes would affect the racecourse.
John Moloney says the drainage system that operates at the facility would be disrupted if the new route was to cut into the course.
He says Ballybrit could end up with a lake instead of a racecourse.
ARUP consultants who are leading the project say any works at the racecourse would be completed within 9 months – but John Moloney says this wouldn’t leave enough time for the Ballybrit team to prepare the course for the summer festival.
He says the surface in Galway is of a very high calibre and attracts international horses – and it may never be restored to its current state if it’s disrupted.
The Galway races summer festival is worth 60 million euro to Galway city and county, is Ireland’s largest racing festival and the 4th largest in the world.
John Moloney says the whole Irish racing industry is appalled that any disruption to Galway Racecourse would even be considered.

:rolleyes:
The place is extreme roaster or extreme hipster… There is very little middle ground in Galway City… The amount of lads on display with tucked in striped shirts, big guts, big belt buckles and these squared slip on shoes that @Horsebox posted up once, was unreal. Everything is ‘ahh shhht-op.’ But it’s all about the drink… I get it, it’s Christmas and we Irish do over do it but I’ve never seen it so magnified anywhere else like Galway… Everyone is buckled, especially the women. The amount of them falling (literally) around drunk was disgusting. The only thing that brought a bit of life into them was Galway Girl, which I heard in two pubs and they went ape- I’m a girl, I’m from Galway, this song is about a girl from Galway- we’re great- it was back to falling around then after the song…the worst was Supermacs. I didn’t partake just stood there in amazement at the state of play, people falling around everywhere…group of young wans next to us more or less eating with their eyes closed they were so fucked, eating garlic and curry cheese chips with their hands and it all over their faces…Christ above. It really sickens me to see young women so out of their mind and there’s no other place where it happens to such an extent. You have to be out of your mind to enjoy the City I feel and I’m way beyond that shit.
Were you attending a meet up as a plus one with princess or what? I didn’t think you’d willingly travel up to Galway at this time of year otherwise? Please clarify.
A very good friend is from Galway and I hadn’t seen her or her family in long time, pal. It was the only night I could head up and said friend had arranged to meet other friends out so I tagged along… I like Galway folk, just not their City at night.
