    What's with all these people in Gundam shirts???
    2 people in a week I've seen with 'em, different design each time, both of 'em Wing though :(

    1st guy i saw was some fella with glasses walking a dog, guess he was around 17. Kinda geeky looking.
    I was too busy talking with someone to stop him and ask him about it, would've been kind of strange doing that anyway.
    Don't remember exactly what it looked like exactly, pretty sure it was white and had Wing Gundam on it, possibly vertical red and blue stripes on it.

    2nd guy had a red shirt with Wing Zero custom firing that combined rifle thingy, the scene is from Endless Waltz when Hero was attacking that base towards the end of the movie.
    Didn't exactly get the chance to ask this guy about it either, him and his friends were tryin to get into a 21st birthday party and I'd no choice but to stop 'em, closin time is 12:30 and it's my *** on the line if I let 'em in.

    Where are they coming from, does some shop in Cork sell 'em or something???

    More and more people have anime t-shirts these days.
    All my t-shirts are of anime or manga.
    Most of them are Shirow or Eva related.
    Got an Urusei Yatsura one too.
    If you ever see a tall blond guy with glasses wearing an anime t-shirt in Cork it's probably me.

    I'll probably be wearing ear phones so I won't hear you.
    You may have to jump up and down.

    I don't have any manga / anime shirts either :(
    I find it too cold to wear nothing but a shirt anyway... but maybe that's just me :)

    I've never noticed anyone wearing an anime shirt... are they really getting popular?

    A lot of them probably aren't anime fans.
    They just thought it looked cool/cute

    Well... you never know... I'm sure there are a lot of anime fans that think they are the only anime fan in Ireland :)
    We have to unite!

    That's how I felt till I found the old Eirtaku :)
    It's weird, thought I was like the only mountain biker in Macroom, now there's a good sized group of us.

    Met alot of cool people in the last year :)

    I think I know Mc Carthys, never actually been in the place but I usually pass it by on my way to Kilgrews whenever I'm in the city.

    Not sure where the English market is though.
    I'm in the city for interview #2 on Monday so I'll check 'em out then.

    Does the English market have a fish stall with a long haired tosser working there? (he might be gone from there by now though)

    If so I think I know the place. I know most places in the city to see, but just don't know the names of streets and stuff.
    Not a big choclate fan so I think I'll skip that stall :)

    Yup, English market's the place I thought it was, I'll have a nose round on Tuesday.

    Gotta get one of those usit cards too, I'm gonna try and pull a trick which worked for a friend of mine a while back.
    He brought in a copy of his Leaving cert results as proof of age, he'd changed his age on it with Photoshop though, so he'd be 21. Idiots actually feel for it.
    He was goin to the US the next month so he could get served in bars with no problems :D

    I'll be over there next summer so I'll have to do the same.
