They’ll regret that...

OU812

All the pubs offering free pints for people named Jesus, Mary or Joseph.

My friend is called Joe and today’s his birthday. He’s been on the piss in town since three and hasn’t paid for a drink yet.

Everyone thinks the Pubs being open on Good Friday is great, but all that has happened is the Government has taken the only unique thing about this unofficial Bank Holiday and turned it into any other day of the week. Our Good Friday days off are numbered.

Proper order too, I had to work today so should the rest of ye work-shy dodgers!

Sure nothing's more Irish than a bit of begrudgery.

Does anyone else find it a bit worrying that Irish people literally couldn’t go one Friday without heading to the pub?

It’d be laughable if it weren’t so desperate..

Whenever I see someone with a tatto anywhere above their neck, I think, "they'll regret that."

I'm not sure how much of the drive flows in that direction... and how much of it is rebound from the fact that you couldn't do it.

If it was just a normal friday would people be so bothered?

But you tell people they can't do something for arbitrary reasons, you turn it into a challenge \ give it an element of the 'illicit' and suddenly people get the urge to go to the pub...

That’s true but there’s nothing different about going to the pub today relative to last Friday or next Friday. The experience is the same, I just feel people are using it as an excuse to go drinking while the legalised drug dealers (pub owners) rub their hands in glee at the though of the extra business.

Perhaps I’m being cynical, but it’s just how I view it.

Ffs noone is forcing people to go.

When did this country become so bloody sensitive, thinking they are been ruled by some alien ant overlord.

I did.
A pint and a burger.
Home alone so I didn't fancy cooking.

Nothing's different... and yet everything's different. Sometimes in work we have drinks "on work time" ... in the pub from 4.
Objectively, is there any difference in the company, or the drinks, if it's 4pm or after work? No.
Subjectively, those are the nicest damned drinks of the year...

Some people don't need much excuse:
"I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working."
- Dave Barry

Is it justified to restrict the liberty of those who can control themselves to protect those who can't? In this instance, I say no... if people can't control themselves, if they don't have an off switch, they're f****d full stop.
