If you have a load of CO2 bottles/F'Ex's RELAX!

When the cornies land they will be snapped up!

I will be travelling on a bus Dublin to Cork, although there may be lads trucking down between times...
@BB, how often are you in Cork, Boy.

I stay in Cork from tuesday to thursday every second week so I'm up there a good bit - once I get a car under my arse I should be able to do Waterford-Cork distribution on future group buys  ;D

Logistics might be a bit dodge, maybe I should bow out.
Can they be couriered?
The 2 Cork lads are near enough to each other and one of them can drive  ???
BB, if you're mobile and in town, maybe meet and pick up or something.

Good idea john, I'm game for that if the other guys are too? A third of a courier charge for a co2 bottle is good business in my eyes  :)

Whoops, thanks johnrm - yep I'll definitely need one of those, if there's one going.

John, you might look a bit of a tool on the bus with a couple of fire extinguishers? Thanks for the offer though.

Lordstilton, would it be much hassle for you to get 3 of these couriered to cork? I could transfer the money to your bank account. I could meet beerbarron some evening in cork and give the 3rd one to Mr-happy.

What is the latest on these?

Oops!... spotting this a bit late..  ::) but if there's any left can I put my name down for one?

Is it Dublin you are based lordstilton? I can collect when I'm there myself in a few weeks or meet someone somewhere else if that suits better. Cheers!
(what size are they?)

Likewise, if there's one left, I'll bite whoever's arm off. In Dublin for the BJCP course once a month...

It doesn't affect me but there was interest expressed here...

For the Cork lads, Munster CO2 in Mayfield should be able to sort you out.
There is a lad that refills FEs, I don't know if he can supply and I've no personal experience of these.
