Off Licences closed until 3pm.

Macavity.

Some sick twisted bastard has ensured that the offies remain closed until 3pm today. This has resulted in disastrous consequences for us all (my current state of sobriety).

Who is the evil despot responsible for such a heinous crime? What can we do to make sure that this dark day in Irish history never occurs again?

Jesus, it's only till three. You have some problem there, don't you.

The solution is to buy some alcohol the night before

The Moldy Gowl

Buy it yesterday?

The Backwards Man

You need to do one of three things

1) Drink less

2) Buy more

3) Emigrate

You have a serious problem then lad. Go to the pub til 3, then get your cans and drink them in public, and be loud and annoying for everyone to see.

You mean the politicians, right?

darkpagandeath

Nope I think he means the Publiticians, You know stop all them tourists buying cheep drink and be forced to buy the expensive stuff. Maybe as well to stop the Dublin welcome crew from getting drunk on the cheap stuff and punching tourists. Now at least the publictitians know they had to spend good money to do that.

Its not that they cant handle it, more like they believe that 17th March is a day to lash as much drink in to you as possible and then go cause trouble for 'fun' like.

That twisted bastard was the off licence manager/owner, since they are allowed open at 12.30pm if they had wanted to do.

Should be closed for the day though.

And butchers should only be allowed sell fish on fridays, all fridays, its a fucking disgrace joe.

Im really torn on this issue. On the one hand i see the benefit of it. Less drunken teenagers people on the streets who get hammered watching the parade causing chaos. Its actually surprisingly forward thinking of those in charge.

On the other hand, the simple reality is that being drunk and disorderly is a crime in Ireland but the law is not enforced. Other countries have similar laws and they have 24 hour licensing and they dont have any of the problems we have with people going on the rampage, and its because the law is enforced and anyone being in a drunken or disorderly fashion is swiftly dealt with.

So instead on inconveniencing normal people, could we not just enforce the laws we have?

Where did you hear this? His publican buddies wouldn't want to forgo another one of their potentially most profitable days.

There is a voluntary code of dublin offies closing at 4pm today.

Now why didn't FF call for pubs to be closed till then too? oh thats right, most of the buddies own pubs not offies. ****ing cunts.
