    Woke up sunburnt, with a hoor of a hangover, alone in my bed as the GF stayed over in her parent's house. Overturned chair in the kitchen, and a trail of coins leading to the bedroom.

    Needless to say the day went well.

    Drunk me got food on the way home, and left 2 cans of coke in the fridge for sober me....... Drunk me is my favorite.

    I'll entertain your petty snipe, if only for my own amusement. We frequented the usual haunt last night, eight of us split between two tables. About two hundred odd went into the register. As it happens, I've known the owner for years and there is an excellent rapport. He wasn't present past night, made the mistake of installing a donkey at short notice. I got a text this morning, apologising for the confusion. All credit to him. As a regular, I've thrown many a bob behind that bar and expect a modicum of respect in return. A mutually beneficial relationship, you follow? It's a quantum leap, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Any barman you said that to would think you are a dick though.

    You might not care but that’s how it would be seen.

    Another vacuous offering, could one expect any less. Two lads on driving duties, other six made the running. "Odd" indicating anywhere from 240-260, unfortunately there wasn't one accountant among us. Eight/nine jars is a flying start, in the midwest we're not charged over a fiver for Arthur.

    Personally, I couldn't give a damn about his feelings when we're contributing to his wage. I speak my piece, and if somebody doesn't like it then tough titty. Young upstart got a little belligerent last night, and I had to set him straight. Anyway we're all good pals again, looking forward to that next session already.

    Ha! You’ve an awfully high opinion of yourself don’t you?

    Upstart is a horrible way to refer to anyone.

    Im cracking up at Berties Horses' boot-cut jeaned entourage throwing their weight around in the VIP with their €25 bar tabs, lol

    You'd feel sorry for barstaff having to put up with this carry on again

    Oh dear, cringe overload. You haven't one solitary iota, that keyboard is no substitute for the real world.

    As trolling goes, this is truly feeble stuff. Made it fairly crystal a few posts ago what time we got going last night. Off you scamper back to your crèche.

    They're out in force today. Read the first line of my response to 'PTH2009', then weigh it up against the timestamp of his post. Your medal is on the way.

    A straight talkin', big spendin' VIP! My God, that bar manager must have been mortified when he realised just who you were.

    Lads, this is ****ing sad. We should be celebrating, not taking cheap shots at each other. Anyway, it's all academic as this thread will soon become defunct as more and more pubs reopen.

    Settle down Kanye. Will GQ & Esquire be covering your next visit to your local?

    Head ****ing pounding, bloody pints ha

    Tonights feed will be epic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,750 ✭✭✭fleet_admiral


    Well that was mayhem. Very successful but it was madness. Two new hires didn't show and by 4pm we were turning people away.

    Fairly shook myself and I had a fair bit of practice in the last few weeks, but ya just don't do cans or takeaway pints at the same pace as actually being in a pub, ran very late, but great excitement all round.
    A mighty day.

    Wouldnt be minding them lads snipping at you Bertie. Probably jealous that you got out for a few pints while there missus wouldnt let them out the door :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭Drifter50


    Had a pint yesterday just past noon in Christys in Blarney. All good no rush. Bit cold though. Headed into the city and got a walk in table at the Cornstore Everyone seemed relaxed and happy to me. In work today so the beer will have to wait until Friday now
    Onwards and upwards

    Is this the barrel scraping the thread is descending to now? The big fellas are back, can picture the exact type.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 911 ✭✭✭FlubberJones


    Anyone some experience with any of the pubs on the Green line luas heading into town from Cherrywood... Would like to know if there are some really good pubs with good outdoors up towards Ranellagh etc... Will book for the weekend if possible.

    When you hear of 8 people clogging up two tables buying very little it becomes clear why some pubs wanted bookings to stop people wasting their time. Turning paying customers away for the minimum spenders is sickening.

    The level of ignorance on display is staggering, although in your case more likely of a "wilful" variety. Eight/nine pints apparently very little in your universe, how many do you sink of a night out? My spidey senses detect a tap water and ribena merchant. The local wasn't turning away a single punter, maxed out at two-thirds capacity including social distancing. Hilarious putting on a display of faux outrage, when you were snidely knocking struggles of hospitality sector at every opportunity these past few months. "Sickening" my eye, you're as disingenuous as they come and half as clever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,307 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Never a fan of the 'tab' system and find it easier to PAYG

    Crazy to think its another month before we can sit inside a pub.

    You came on here bragging about refusing to book a table, dropping 40 quid a head and giving out to the barman, and somehow still think you're the good guy. You're a blowhard, an unfortunately necessary part of the pub trade in Ireland....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 136 ✭✭pidgeoneyes


    The pubs, well the one's that can, are open three days, and they're already getting the "don't you know who I am" treatment. Lovely!
