Romance is still around - I think - I hope - it’s just harder to find.
I beginning to believe the reason it’s scarce is because so many people are checking out what’s in a prospective partners bank account before looking into his heart.
Sickening isn’t it?
I wouldn’t want a relationship at all, if it were not first borne out of true romance, for I know there is nothing more rewarding in life than true human love.
Hi tessie07.Well wait an see if other members want this and then ask CS staff to set it up.
Galway Singles will meet in Busker Brownes every Sunday morning from now on. Starting with me the idea is to build membership and chat and organize summer events.
Time of the get togethers is for the very enjoyable weekly Sunday morning Jazz session at 12 noon. For those that don’t know Buskers is a classy pub/restaurant, a great environment to meet. All singles welcome.
Do you think an “Am I a favourite” section/button would be good on this website? I think it would be good to know who made you one of their favourites, what do you think?
Ah poor you TurkishDelight. Go for that walk, fresh freezing air is good.
But your lucky ye can walk TD. I went out to the pub yesterday and thought I would be good. I didn’t want anything even close to a hangover today so all I had was a pint and a half of Bulmers. After that I went on the tap water with a splash of orange.
I am now in extreme pain, doubled over with a dose of cryptosporidium.
There is a boil water warning in Galway, they are not sure why so many people are getting sick, they think it is in the water. So they went on the radio saying boil all water, and pubs, clean out and wash ice chests.
I guess my pub doesn’t have a radio. Now if this were America, I’d call an ambulance to take me to my lawyer’s office.
There is a mini treasure hunt at the show. Notes are hidden all over the place awarding the finder to a small prize. The DJ will announce clues as the party continues.
I have sent an advanced hint to you with a CS flower. You should be able to figure it out.
I’m the stpatrick guy organising the Galway Hooley. The event is on March 25th. However, if any Galway singles want to meet for a mini get together on St Patrick’s Day I’ll be in Tig Coili’s and other nearby pubs on shop st. most of the day.(I never overindulge BTW and NEVER TOO DRUNK.) So if any Galway female around my age or any CS members at all want to join me for a drink and a bit of craic it would be great.
There is a treasure hunt at the Galway Hooley. Little notes hidden all over the place awarding the finder to a prize. Meet me on StPat’s day and I will give some good clues as to where to look for the Treasure notes
When I organised this event I did it mainly to help myself find a partner (a wife) and if other singles found someone special too then that would be great.
I was unaware there was already a singles group in Galway.
This group meets each Sunday for tea and coffee and charges for a yearly membership. They hold such things as weekends away and hill walks etc and charge for that. (I won’t mention their name on-line)
Anyhow, they showed up at our event - a group of them, lead by one large obnoxious woman. They refused to pay the 8 euro admission. My son allowed the group in to avoid any agitation as he sensed a nasty tone of voice from the lady. I was puzzled as to why someone would behave like this and put it down to “not being the full shilling”
We were unaware who they were at the time. It was only when they began questioning my son Steve and I in an aggressive tone of voice that I began to realize something was not right. Then one of our female guests recognized them and informed me they were from a singles group here in town.
They kept asking, “Who is running this, is it an American outfit, (referring to the CS cards on the tables) they kept repeating the question with anger and several times. I found it hard to get it through to her that I started this dance only as a means to get singles together and it’s not really a commercial venture.
It was obvious they were trying to disrupt the event. When they didn’t succeed they left insulting my host on the way out and tearing down our signs from the walls.
I don’t want to dwell on negativity to long, except to say, we must have been doing something right to make these people so angry.
People can be so weird - thank god I am normal, for I would hate to be like that.
We are sorry to miss the chance to meet you John2. From reading your posts on the forum I can tell you have a brilliant personality; you would have been a great addition to the night in Galway.
But enjoy your game my friend. Up the boys in Green.
Sorry Musicman81 it was the only night I could get for that hall.
I had a good feeling when I first viewed it. It has history and mystic oozing out of the walls. Standing there alone, when checking it out, I felt a strong link with the past, and I said to myself, this is it - this is the place.
If a couple meet here on the night it will really mean something to them.
It’s going well Minxx. But I was sick and lost some good promotion time. Ah well; we will still make it a fun get together. Yes there will indeed be some talent coming Minx, a lot of people that never heard of CS, we will get them joined up too, so we will. Thanks for bringing your friend - hey bring yer grandmother as well - for me - that stomach bug has just added about ten years on to me. Hahaha
There are about seven males actually signed up from this site shabbychick and happyoutin and if you count me that will make nine. (I’m worth two)
But don’t worry girls there will be other men there. If you need more though, I’ll just go out to the street and shout - BEER - WOMEN! This always works; Galway men are like zombies when they hear these two words in combination. Even if you were to close and bolt the doors, they would be crawling through gaps in the floorboards or scaling the walls with grappling irons to get in. lol. And don’t worry if yer getten ravaged by all these hunks, I’m handing out zappers to the ladies, so just zap em and go on the next one, staff will remove the remains. lol
Mark - how ye doing my friend? Glad to hear you will join us in Galway. It’s good to get away sometimes isn’t it. And you know what it’s like in Galway, there is always good craic. So take care on the drive down Mark and up Dun-na-Gall!
All I can say tessellates is, make an effort to support these new Irish singles events whenever you can and make them successful, then, instead of you having to travel to them, they will travel to you.
How about “ The First Great Cork City Singles Hooley” would you go to that? I’ll bet you would.
I know Sunday is not a great night for going out, work the next day and all. I’m working on the next Singles Hooley taking place on a Saturday.
The Galway venue says I must first prove I can draw the numbers to book their hall for a Saturday nite. Nice hall it is - so we really need those numbers.
So please, tell a friend in Cork, that would be free to travel to Galway for a weekend. I love Cork (west Cork- see my profile - partner preference) Look at your City Hall, I worked on it. Hanging from shaky scaffold in bitter cold wind and driving rain, blasting the building to it’s original beauty. I’m from Belfast, Cork people were so warm and friendly to me when I stayed there I really miss them - they hold a very special place in my heart.

Hi Cool bananas, please try to make it. Come early Sunday morn or Saturday so you can spend some time in Galway. There is a B&B near Oran Mor that charges only 20 euro per night, it looks nice too. However, you would have to get a bus into town and a taxi back out to the B&B. Bring a few friends and one that does not drink would be even better.
Can’t wait to meet you Missey36 Yer only 36 - and in your prime - and I can only dream. “Damm it - once the king of love - my reign is over“. javascript:emot(''); cryinglol
Hi pman06 Thanks for your interest my friend, the more Mayo men the better. I’m out on the streets of Galway today inviting singles to the event. I will hand pick a few beauties for you mate. LOL LOL
Hi minx thanks a million for your interest and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the event. Please note it is only experimental at this stage and with minimal advertising, infrastructure etc. We hope to get a momentum going for a regular “festival of love” in Galway. Ideas and inputs before and after would be most welcome from CS members. Can’t wait to meet you.
Hi, and thanks. I read some of your stuff just now.(previous posts I mean) Are you a writer? If not you should be. That post about your reflection in the window is totally beautiful.
Hello whereisjuiliet, sorry I missed whatever it was that caused your friends to be removed from the site. I have empathy for them and would normally support their cause. However, I started a happy and friendly little thread here advertising a new event that hopefully will bring lonely hearts and deserving singles together. I really don’t want any negativity to spoil the atmosphere. I say this with the greatest of respect to you, so my friend, please drop it, at least on my thread.
Thanks, Hey, come up to Galway, let me buy you a pint?
