Decorum in Irish airport bars

    Paddy and Mary really let themselves down. I had the misfortune to visit an airport bar last week, flying out at 6am to attend important business meetings. The "gentlemen" were staggering around the place swilling and spilling their drink. The "ladies" were more like tramps, the type you might **** with a condom on after a few too many beverages. It was most disagreeable. Have you encountered such uncouth scenes? I must choose the airport lounge next time for a more refined experience.

    Did you take off your shoes before entering After Hours?

    If you had ever been in the lounge you'd know the dough balls outclass the alcohol by at least the class of a beluga caviar.

    I think the thread can be molded into a decent Ryanair bashing thread with a little tlc.

    Just shows, the use and abuse of alcohol isn't the defining factor when it comes to having a modicum of class...

    They'll let anyone fly these days.

    People going to business meetings and people going to important business meetings.

    Seriously though,
    Some people should no better and behave better.

    Clicked on the thread, read OP, scroll 3 comments down, got bored, went back to AH, clicked on it again to double check if this is Anghus Von Bismarck, was disappointed.

    I’ll be honest with you,op. When I’m travelling at 6am it’s past security and straight to the gate with me. Not sure I’d take get up even earlier to take detour to watch Mary and Paddy get boisterous in the only pub open at that hour. And if i did I’d keep it quiet.

    Was in Airport bar in Dublin flying out to Moldovia about three months ago. All the Moldovian lads were lashing back 6 euro Heinekens. Only myself on the stout. Stole two packets of crisps (Keoghs). Nice lads in fairness.

    Don’t know about Paddy, but I’m living rent free inside your head!!! Stick me on ignore there, fella, for the good of your nerves. You take the whole AH thing very seriously. Would a game of pitch and putt or something cheer you up?

    If you were really going to 'important business meetings', you'd have been in the lounge, not the bar.

    Ah it was Justin and Saoirse off the leash from the perfect kids for a few days.

    As long as they don't interfere with me I don't care.

    I have to take a Gaviscon to look at the Pint drinkers at 9am or earlier and the prosecco bunch too, but sure isn't that part of their holiday to be doing something out of their timetable!

    If they get messy I am not impressed, and hope to Jayzis they are not on my plane, but then again I'm perfect lol!

    I'm not in the habit of monopolising threads to have an extended natter with myself. Your 'Identity' parody has run its course.

    If you changed it to say you were english or in Fine Gael you might get more traction.
    D+ for effort.
