Sounds like this storm is fixing to be fairly nasty.

Kerry /cork getting wrecked from based on last forecast I saw.abroad at moment coverage seems a bit muted
Would kind of like to be down there to see it as it’s gonna be a 1 in 50 year kinda thing but there is potential for some some bad shot for sure

Went to one over here in Malta and thought it was pretty good. 4 seems like the ideal number. 6 is too many cooks....

Schools closed all over Kerry, including the ITT. Few mates have been told to stay at home Monday, shops and all.just staying get closed. Reevaluate Tuesday. Last time this happened the lakes from Ross Castle ended up sending water as far as the racecourse and was deep enough to be accessed by boat only, the golf club clubhouse was left like an island and there was a crazy amount of damage done countywide. This one sounds like it'll be worse

Yea 4-5 would be best.

Oh yeah I did an escape thing all right, it was great! I arrived at AdventureRooms and was escorted downstairs to a dungeony area by a lovely Young Eastern European Specimen (YEES). All too familiar you say. I was informed these were "Zee hard rooms" and it was time to get started.

My team, The Sexy Six, were put in one room and an opposing team of six people I knew were put into another room. We had half an hour to escape from our room while the other team were trying to break into that room at the same time. Then you switched around and ran it over again trying to break into their room. Very intense!

My team won and got a certificate. Don't want to go into detail on any puzzles but it's really enjoyable and you have to make sure to not get mixed up or you will fuck yourself over.

Then I had platters, got wrecked drunk on gin, blacked out and puked a lot (all night) apparently. Was all in good fun. I had a great time and can't remember any of the bad stuff (only blacked out drunk twice before, one of which I ended up waking up naked with my face covered in blood with some russian girls smoking silently nearby - I was in their house) so it is a rare treat.

Have done a good few in Budapest since. They were created there I think, and are much cheaper than here.

Would appreciate if no-one else captained him in Fantasy Football so I get max value for my ticket price.

I blame you for my having to sit through that borefest, bought ticket after you posted a few weeks ago.

On the plus side the Freud Museum and British Museum made up for it.

**Strewelpeter** · 15-10-17, 12:40

My niece who lives in Nebraska is due to give birth to a daughter in early December had already given her the name Ophelia. It seems that while she was oblivious to the fate of the original Ophelia and the inevitably of uncle SP always greeting her with an instruction to 'get thee to a nunnery' she is now considering changing her name because of a storm halfway around the world from her

**Strewelpeter** · 15-10-17, 12:46

Why did Munster kick for three there , seems a bit weak to me with three minutes left in the half.

Seemed very odd to me. Kick a penalty to the corner, tap a penalty, get a man in the sin bin under the posts and then kick the penalty? Bizarre.

Scrum or a tap there surely and go for a try leveller. Castres are up for this so every score is needed...

I think Munster will have the edge in the 2nd half but their bench is weak enough. Line out going well considering the injuries etc.

**Hooch** · 15-10-17, 13:23

Basic errors killing Munster this year.
No big Munster heart.
Also Tyler Bleyendaal what has happened him this season(early i know) kicks are very poor, cant find touch and no confidence.
It pains me to say Keatley should be starting on form this season he seems to have regained his head. At least JJ will be ready soon with another good showing yesterday once he can stay injury free.

**Emmet** · 15-10-17, 13:59

The picture was poxy for that match due to the light. It was both a poxy game and a poxy result too.

I've to organise a stag late November, early Dec. It's a mixed bag of people from shy and retiring non drinkers, to oldies, to your average "pub for a few drinks would be grand" types.

Does anywhere exist that would do organised board games for a private group allowing or providing beer and some snacks? Not drinking games.

...Or should I just check out Adventure Rooms?

I have the bins weighed down with bricks and cable tied together, if things get bad enough for those to go flying the bins will be the least of our worries!

It was like the end of days in Tesco earlier, lad says their busiest day since christmas.

Both great walks. I walked Ticknock 2 weeks ago and a walked this https://www.activeme.ie/guides/walks...ghs-waterford/ last weekend.
It's a really nice one, a lake against a cliff face at the end completely hidden from sight. One of the nicer I've done in Ireland

Djouce is a nice one, not hard either.

Work for one of the big US commercial property insurers. A few of us were told to stop what we were at on Thur eve and start making plans for canvassing clients Friday to warn them of this event oncoming and encourage them to prep and get ERP etc dusted off. felt like a bit of a tit ringing round sites when it was only a yellow warning on Met Eireann site but our weather gurus in the States were adamant we do it. Some pretty huge pharma sites located right where this thing is tracking, some of them already picking up the slack from sister plants out of operation in Puerto Rico could be a nasty one in $$ terms.

Hope none gets hurt also obvs

I've had a very enjoyable day imagining doomsday scenarios, tracking the storm online, going to the shops for supplies (i.e. crisps and briquettes) etc.

Pretty sure this storm will turn out to be the equivalent of a "soft day" in Kerry.

@gab seriously you should try carrauntohill next summer. Just get a guide and it's not that strenuous. About 6 or 7 hours up and back but one to do. Don't go devils ladder and it's actually just a good tough walk.

Spinc is by far best. Sugarloaf is good for a short burst, bout 10 mins of clambering up rocks at end. Hellfire is pretty disapointing walk. Good walk at tibraddan
