As always the photos are awesome. Lots of manly love and beer this mittens.

[Miez]

There was an abundance of manlove ... must be the hormones in the Guiness

[Layabout]

And about a thousand euro was spent on booze. Top job I say.

Holy shit, that's some scary viewing. That sun-burnt, wasted dude seems like an awful gobshite. ¬¬

That was possibly the rowdiest night of Mittens X.

I've no idea what you're talking about. This is obviously what you find at the end of the rainbow

Francisco is probably now currently on the plane, but here is a history of fail : yesterday I texted him, offering to have a drink with him in the evening. But then I forgot my phone on my desk at work. So only htis morning could I read his text saying "Hey I'm all pampered and ready, let's go have a drink" -- only a prelude to the lonely evening he spent

We are finally home, after more than a day hanging around in airports and airplanes, and also experiencing signs of PMS- Post Mittens Sighs...
It was a blast, you are all wonderful people, you made us feel at home and it was a pleasure to meet you. 
Expect photos from Noa later on...

Also, the videos & photos you guys have put so far were hillarious.

[Monsieur OUXX]

Ah, Das Banshee!

Edit: A pal of mine did this as a university project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj5ldVgyEWU
someone needs to code this in AGS and let Mittens chess lovers play it :-)

I want to marry your friend, wheter she's a girl or not.

This photo clearly shows why (Northern) Ireland is not yet at peace: http://www.sonores.de/mittens2011/Mittens_2011_in_Ireland.html#2 The cannons are pointing the wrong way! How else would they keep the locals subdued?
But surely the water in Turcany was at better temperature? http://www.sonores.de/mittens2011/Mittens_2011_in_Ireland.html#12 But seriously, this looked like another brilliant Mittens, glad you guys & gals had such fun!
It's great to see you all again, even if it's only on photos...
And guess who's behind the bar again, helping himself to cheap booze below the counter? http://www.sonores.de/mittens2011/Mittens_2011_in_Ireland.html#25 Mark, you weren't at work you know?

After sleeping for a day and a half, recovered enough to say -

Truly wonderful Mittens, one of the best, and thanks to everyone who was part of it and made it possible. It was great to see new people, and to see them be absorbed so easily into the fold. Look forward to seeing all you guys again.

Random favourite memories -
*Not pissing on some seals from a cliff
*Banshee shenanigans
*The worlds best sandcastle
*The general bizarreness of our accommodations, which seemed to reflect our group pretty awesomely
*The Willy Wonka of Mummies

Moarrr vids are up. See the mime, shudder at the assault of Dogzilla, break your brain over the 'no hetero' concept:

Just arrived at home.  So very, very tired.

I'll go over my photos and post them (as well as my sappy mittens post-mortem) in the coming days, once I finish detoxing and settle back into my routine.

Also, don't worry too much, Matthieu.  I went and hung out at the Hairy Lemon for a bit, then drunkenly staggered about until I found a bar full of hip young people who were all from New York and wanted nothing to do with me.  Then I found a very nice Irish couple who talked to me about movies and politics for a while and invited me to come back and visit them in the future.  So all in all, not a bad final night in Dublin.

Bici - Salton Sea - hahaha! That'd be...awesome  

A week of no internet it's great to come back and see the photos. Great stuff, good times! And good to hear Francisco is back home finally..

And woot, finally my bad memories from Benidorm have been erased...!



May this picture haunt you fuckers for all eternity!

Also - this photo makes no sense, because I seem to have LimpingFish's bottle of Smirnoff Ice in my hand - yet I distinctly remember staying as far as hell away from that bottle as possible. Hmm. I do love a good alcohol induced Mittens mystery though...I must've been running an errand for Fish..

It used to be tradition to do a proper one on one about the people we met, so as I've had a week of no internet to think about it... Cisco - enjoyed your passion this time round, Mr "I'm going on holiday, not going to do anything else" man.. Bici - always a pleasure, your accent was stuck in my head many days after Mittens had ended. Fish - thank you for your generosity, and it was great to see you come out of your shell! dats, ders, dis... CJ - good to see you live it up as always, and your 'special' role... Miez - again thank you for helping me get to Mit 11, good of you to get in the hot tub, FINALLY!!1 Layabout - the same old drinking smoking shenanigans I expect of you - thanks for helping me feel I'm not the only major alcoholic Dirk - a man from AGS past, great to finally meet you in person - you're a dude! Cat - glad you came back, your interest in AGS is surprising - and if you need those questions answered, just let me know. AGA - well, you're always bloody there aren't you--good to see you buddy! Jake - no combine harvester that I recall, but always good to chat with you. Tzachs & Noa - the newest couple to befall Mittens, a pleasure to meet you both, you fit right in! Oux - you are French. That's about all I know of you, you were glued to your laptop all week! Davy & Kim - fast becoming Mittens 'default' couple, a pleasure as always - your kindliness is very reassuring...I'm just sorry it all culminated in er, that ketchup thing Oh, and THAT game! Yes THAT one! MAKE IT!!! Gunnar - you OSD-sessed son of a gun-nar! Great to see you, you're a great bloke! With a large knife and a gag.. Cato - quiet you may be, but again you're such an AGS oldie, it's always great to see you there. Matt - always good to chat with you, and particularly impressed with your game...certain other comments also keep me chuckling. Comments involving writers.. and finally teh Ken - thanks for hosting, being suitably queer (with those white cards especially) and being a kindred spirit as always.

Peace Mitteneers!

NO HOMO
