Love the way that it’s terrible that the shops are open tomorrow and people would rather fry there head in lard than go to the sales. However going to the bookies where presumably there will also be staff is seen as perfectly fine with no contradiction....only in Ireland. Each to their own I guess but I’d rather fry my head in lard than do any of either shopping or pub/bookies tomorrow.

Tbh I don't know why retail staff get all the sympathy. I was in work today. No sympathy for me

Meeting some friends in Cork for an early dinner at their place. Maybe a good walk in some woods if it’s not too wet. Any posters going out on the Wren? I think it’s a big thing here down in Cork.

Don’t go to pubs any more, not into gambling so racing and bookies is not my thing and shopping is a chore to me.

Who is Stephen and why does he get a day named after him?

Personally i have a wren to hunt. Maybe even two.

A green guy that owns the park near grafton street. And the shopping centre too.

I don't know how anyone has the energy for those sales

I’ll do my annual Stephens day morning trip to Powercity to look at big TVs that I want to buy but usually never do (it’s a good way to get out of the house for an house). Then home to watch the Leinster v Munster match and eat myself into another food coma

Run around the Reeks or up Mangerton, first snow run of the season.

Go for a walk and head out with the missus later. A few quiet pints, nothing hectic. That'll be the festive beering done for another year.

Larry SR · 25-12-2017 09:09PM

Long run in the morning. Visiting family in afternoon. Relax tomorrow evening as back to work on 27th.

Ray Donovan · 25-12-2017 09:19PM

Going to see Star Wars in the morning at 10:30. Home and cook a roast lamb dinner and hopefully have it ready in time for the Leinster v Munster game.

Find a film or Netflix then for the evening. Have had enough of drink after Friday and Saturday.

How long is a long run?

Bassfish · 25-12-2017 09:46PM

Hopefully the weather holds up to take the small fella out on the tricycle Santa brought him and then get him down for his nap in time for Munster v Leinster so daddy can enjoy some of his special bottle from the top cupboard

Id love to go racing tomorrow but herself doesn't want to. I'll be on the road I'd say but I will have all my bets done before I leave.

buried · 25-12-2017 11:07PM

Watch 'People just do nothing' on Netflix if any of ye haven't. It's brilliant, very funny. The only problem is they don't have the third season up there yet

I've just watched this, its great!
The premise is hilarious though - Jackie Chan vs the IRA, but it works!

I’m working. Driving back to Cork from Killarney in the morning, wahey. Not on till 11 thankfully.

Eat loads of food again.
Out for a walk in the woods, already feeling I need walks.

brilou23 · 26-12-2017 08:07AM

Girlfriend and the kids are going to her family's for 24 hours so locked door with football and beer and maybe a bit of Turkey curry.

MyStubbleItches · 26-12-2017 08:50AM

Staying at the in laws for Christmas so as soon as I can get Mrs. Stubble out of bed I'll be cooking breakfast of an assortment of sausages from the English market. Dog over to templemore then to swim her after her day of pigging out yesterday. Shower, quick run to the bookies to back my picked horses and straight to the pub at 2.30 in the hope of a good seat for the rugby. Probably home at 7 or 8 then before it gets too la-la. Looking forward to it.
