Pub Opening Hours Next Thursday

Well pubs should stop serving before 12 on any thursday...but the late bars, who can usually serve til 1:30, will have to be shut by 12.

Don't you know that Jesus was put to death on that day? Well you know...not that day exactly...well it changes every year, anyway...he was crucified and we all know that he was killed because , doped up on too much last supper wine he got his statements of defence all messed up, sacked his lawyer, well to cut a long story short he ended up nailed to a cross.

Anyway, as a result of this nasty turn of events, we are all reminded of the dangers of alcohol each good Friday. However, just like Jesus over indulged himself at the last supper on "holy Thursday" we are all encouraged to do the same,

And then on Sunday we will have Easter eggs because the colour of the eggs is the same colour as the cross that was used to kill him. And eh...well...yeah. There ya go.

each year this seems to get more and more out dated. i'm by no means a big drinker and absolutely can hold off when i want to, but being told because of the supposedly major religion in the country I can't drink on thursday night or friday night, pssst, pissin me right off.

wtf has stopping people from drinking got to do with good friday anyway!? is it deemed offensive or something? do other countries do this too?

It's explained for you above.

yes it is. but i was going for the slightly more serious answer.

There really isn't any. That's the point. There is no logic to it.
