Blippers do blip when they meet at blipmeets...
At least we got it out of the way early on.
We all whipped out our cameras, marveled at how big Oldmills' is, took the shot of the day and swiftly moved on to more pressing matters:
- right-hand drive gear shifts and indicator switches
- silicon boobs (Oldmills)
- Leinster -vs- Munster (or monster if you look at the fans)
- Murikami, or some similar syllables in a different order. Ok, Murakami and his readability (or lack thereof)
- Global currency fluctuations
- Penis extensions (Oldmills)
- The Roses of Tralee
- Tower crane driving (R_E)
- Handguns ((Samiam)
- Teddy bear machines
- Poor bladder capacity (R_E. Several times...)
- National stereotypes and how to take advantage of them (Samiam)
- Boobs (of the non-silicon variety) (Oldmills)
- Katherine Lynch (Oldmills/R_E), for various reasons.
- Wine tasting -vs- beer guzzling (samiam-R_E/Oldmills)
- Air travel and jet-lag
- Ian Banks (without the M) and the whisky -vs- the bridge
- Nikon -vs- Canon
- Boeing -vs- Airbus
- Celtic -vs- Rangers
- Yin -vs- Yang
- Cleavages (not in society - Oldmills)

A great time was had by all (well, as far as I'm concerned anyway). Sam-she-is seems to have survived a few days of Wicklow GAA (Gaelic Arsing Around) indoctrination pretty unscathed, and she did manage to put away the Smithswick's at a rate of 1-2, not bad considering the porter sharks that were in attendance in the snug in Toner's.

We'll have to do it again.

We will!

Oh, and on the DART back home, I had the great pleasure of striking a conversation with Gail and Gordon. But more about this tomorrow!
