			Planet Jonny - Things To Do Before You Die...

	Things To Do Before You Die...
	I've led quite a boring life. When other people were charity freefalling out a Wiltshire sky, I wasn't with them. When other people were white-water rafting down the mighty Zambezi, I wasn't there either. When faced with two paths diverging in a wood, I... I take the one more traveled by. And so I've lived a life avoiding stress and danger, always hiding from that which might hurt me. But I realise now that this is no way to live a life. Life's there to be seized, not placated. Some times in life you just have to say bugger to what society deems sensible, and just go do something totally mad. I'm thinking of doing something totally mad. I'm thinking of going to Belfast. Apparently there's a convention there called QCon. Any of you people (i.e. CM guys, Paul, various friends who might be reading this) up for it? I mean, as long as we stay out of the more "working class" parts of town (as Patrick Kielty so wonderfully put it)... well how bad can it be? Tags: qcon

Belfast is great fun, and probably a hell of a lot safer to wander around in after dark than Dublin. :)

So you've been mad already and didn't know it! Spooky...

Well if you'd have told me that Dublin's more dangerous than Belfast then I wouldn't have come. :)

"Ah, just get your ass over here you big jesse sassenach"

You know I've just started and deleted about five posts. Northern Ireland's such a sad sitution that whatever I type, whether serious or not, just sounds crap and inappropriate.

Are you going to QCon by the way?

The Rock Bar

While in the wonderful city of Belfast, you must visit the Rock Bar (491 Falls Road) A great buncha fellas there.
I had a nice time, and the food looked good (although I only drank).

So go to Belfast.

I only wish I could go.

	Re: The Rock Bar

Isn't the Falls Road a bit, like, sectarian?

(I've basically only heard of two areas in Belfast: the Falls Road is one, and the Shankill's the other).

Rock Bar

No really, I am an American peace activist, and had a fine ole time,

Although a group of the old gents were telling me how they couldn't come to the states because being on some list or the other..

But great place, nearer to center of Belfast was some historical Pub, it was just ok.

Anyways you are going to game right?
Ah gaming I miss it sooo.
Speaking of missing, I miss Critical Miss.

Hmmm...

As to Critical Miss, I'm afraid it's kindof in hibernation right now while I'm busy doing other things.
