It’s the world of Hibernian.
Amazing they can’t attract any females.
Mr Michele Neylon, CEO of Blacknight Internet Solutions, above, tweetz:
The Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club get my name and gender wrong. Invite me to a mixer ‘cos they want more women members…

He’s a guy… women’s backgrounds hardly get more diverse than that.
C’mon Neylo, let’s do it, for the craic, don’t blackball me ya b*tch.
I’ll go in your place, Michele. Never one to turn down a free lunch ;)
He should go but dressed as a woman.
Channelling Alastair Sim in The Belles of St Trinian’s.
Salad with a side of elitism!
I just wonder what had to happen for them to lay down that weird stipulation about the type of sense of humour a sister needs to have.
I’m guessing “no ‘bubbly’ types or cackling slappers” didn’t read as well.
nary a tramp stamp nor a bellybutton ring to be seen.
Hahahha excellent! Commenting gold I say!
“Diverse Backgrounds”
Yeah sure you do. Diverse probably means lots of different professions, not just law, medicine and finance.
Actually, by “diverse”, we did mean from either law, medicine or finance.
In case they know your wives?
Lol at me, must read good.
He was happy to call himself Mike/Michael back in school.
It’s a very long time since she was in school.
This is the best thing I’ve read online in ages…. I love it….. Jezebel here it comes!
Hard times for the hibernian club.
The few women members they have are probably the screaming hellions who demanded to be allowed join in the first place still waiting for the tide of empowered wimminz
Ah come on Captain Bringdown, give us a smile, you look so pretty when you smile!
You’ve obviously never seen Rotide smile…
You are the worst wingman ever.
Edalicious has seen the effects of my smile first hand, Hart to Hart has nothing on it.
“tide of empowered wimminz” had probably gone out to join the likes of Rotary
At least they are trying to widen their membership and are attempting, albeit clumsily, to encourage women to join. It is a lot better than the Garrick in London which voted only in July to uphold the ban on female members. Or closer to home look at the Portmarnock GC and their ban on female members.
Only a hundred yards away, the Kildare Street Club remains resolutely “men only”, though women may attend as guests in the dining room. Anecdotally, it is members’ wives who are most militant against the broadening of membership criteria.
Giles MacDonogh, on his blog [http://www.macdonogh.co.uk/blog.htm], said of the KSUC: ‘A case in point is the Kildare Street and University Club that has some extraordinarily good ceilings, one of the best of all being the Adam-esque bar. It is an amalgamation of a number of different institutions, one of which is an Ascendancy body that celebrates King Billy and the Protestant victories at Enniskillen and the Boyne. They have installed a couple of their pseudo-masonic chairs and other Orange Order regalia in one of the back rooms.’
Anyone confirm this? I thought the Dublin Orange Order held their meetings on the Northumberland Road?
Good… ceilings? Someone’s obviously spent a lot of time on his back there.
Can confirm King Billy accoutrements … embellished clocks & so forth.
Nearly backwashed an excellent Claret one evening, upon seeing.
Have no clue as to whether dastardly Norn Iron Orange groupies hold their meetings in Dublin.
ITT. A complete lack of men trying to join womens clubs (Although I’m sure guarenteed boobs would change all that)
Rotide, explain then the “I am doing this for chariddeeeee” , tutu dressed, bulging males who crash the women’s only marathon every year?
It’s impossible to explain away that kind of stupid.
i know a few clubs where there’s guaranteed boobs..

I met some masons when they opened up the masonic lodge on Molesworth street for Culture Night. They just seemed a bit sad, to be honest. They must love the whole conspiaraloon stuff. It makes them seem actually kinda cool and mysterious.
Reminds me of the time my near-entire extended family were in a lock-in in a Tuam pub. They were all caught.
When it came to the courts, all the men were charged with having brought the ladies out and lead them astray, keeping them drinking in a pub after hours, so all the men were fined. Except Uncle Francis, ’cause they thought he was a woman :)
proper order too
Does this mean the Freemasons want to gag the interweb?!?
the freemasons invented the internet
What’s the problem with Men Only clubs anyway?
Male company discussing serious issues of the day is only distracted by women who merely repeat the opinions of their menfolk anyway.

Classic!
Whatever, we all know men’s clubs only exist so you can talk rubbish without us laughing at you. But we laugh anyway, oh how we laugh… blows my cup right out sometimes.
This is Phileas Fogg stuff.
“I say, old boy, fancy a wager?, The Red hand to beat The Kingdom?”
Definitely wouldn’t be talking about GAA though.
This Michele Neylon guy is tedious. I remember him from UL – totally precocious.
Is ‘precocious’ a pejorative word now?
