    Where is that? What kind of pub runs promotions like that? It kills a bit of my soul anytime i have to show my card when signing etc..... I couldn't imagine how it would feel having to show a social card just to get a pint for 3euro.

    Christ almighty. This is why I would prefer dole to be lowered and some food vouchers for many instead. No motivation for some to leave it! Plus genuine cases of people who have a family and fallen on hard times should get more out of the wasters portion. (waster being someone able bodied who has been on the dole for over 7 years and I know a few)

    Your 'social welfare card' is basically your Public Services Card, isn't it? Doesn't everyone have one of them, regardless of whether they're on the dole?

    Their previous promo was 'thirsty Thursday,' where all drinks were 3 euro to everyone, with specials on shots, 3 test tube shots for five euro.

    Would be discrimination if the offer only applied to those on the dole surely?

    Not that I go around flashing my social card at every opportunity in the hope of a discount.

    Do those in receipt of welfare not deserve a day/night out?

    I say this as someone who never received a cent from the state and never will

    Reminds me if The Laurels in Poleglass if anyone knows it.

    Walked in there one night around closing time, asked could I have a pint.
    'Have you any money?' the barman asks gruffly, reaching under the counter.

    'A-a-aye' I manage to stammer, thinking I'm about to get a baseball bat kiss.

    'Well what the fcuk are you asking for then?!' yer man shouts at me

    Hmmm, announce a cheap drink deal a week after a video of a girl getting rode out the back pops up on Facebook.


    The place may be a ****hole, but they know their clientele.

    Na, that was in The Laurels this happened. The pool cues were chained to the wall, classy spot.
