I know you dont normally do this but myself and some other Irish expats in Barcelona are looking to rebuild the Irish community here – it was hit hard by the crisis – and we were hoping you could give us a plug.
We’ve setup Irish In Barcelona. Its a simple email signup and we promise never to send more than four emails a year. We could do something more sophisticated but we hope that by keeping it low impact we will get a broad range of people signing up.
The newsletters will contain info about every Irish related event on in the city – business, social, sporting, cultural – the lot. It’s been up just over a week now and we have a slow but steady rate of signups. If you know anyone interested then please spread the word!

Internations.
This group already exists several times over.
There is not a gap in the market for you.
Lads, chip in and buy a large bottle of cop on for yourselves. And if they’ve none there then just give each other a slap in the head.
Nice idea, lads.
Hop down to Flahertys Bar there in the Joaquim Xirau Plaza of a Saturday night, tis wall to wall Paddys and Paddettes*

“Irish expats ”
You’re not an expat. You’re an emigrant.It isn’t the British Raj. Get over yourselves.
An “expat” is someone who lives outside their native country.
An “ar$ehole” is someone like you.
set up a Gaa Club and write a book about it.
Tonight Friday 6th May: Danny O’Brien is in town, stand-up comedy at Shamrock bar. For all those interested in the craic!
Four times a year? So events will have to be notified to you up to 3 months in advance. Oh dear…
Lads, don’t set up a group apologising for it, set up events first and the group will form itself. If I was emailed four times a year and asked to attend the AGM of the Irish Society on a Wednesday evening I would find an excuse not to go. If I got a tweet/message about a fun pub quiz/5-aside/art exhibition/ceilli/happy hour etc be it for charity or just the craic, I’m there.
