WTF is up with all the GF threads

Minstrel27 · 21-04-2011 07:40PM

I have my bottles bought for the weekend.

RachaelVO · 21-04-2011 07:40PM

No need this side of the North Sea... the Dutch don't have this total shut down on Good Friday... Out tomorrow for a few in good company and no cleaning up!

Super-Rush · 21-04-2011 07:42PM

Mmmmmmmmmergeeeeeeeeeee

henryporter · 21-04-2011 07:42PM

So like in the land of Jebus and in Rome, the almighty Capitol of all things Christiany they're able to horse it into them like there's no tomorrow meanwhile back in Bollixedville we have to stock up or drive to the friendly border outpost to have a scoop or two. It's absolute nonsense - can we go and dig deValera up and give him a few kicks?

cosmicfart · 21-04-2011 07:47PM

it is mad that with all the scandals in the chuirch and the fact that 90% of the population are not practising christians that this ban on alcohol is still in effect. daft.

Sad Professor · 21-04-2011 07:47PM

Everyone should also be aware that shops which open late can't sell alcohol after 10pm.

Seriously, every year we get a bajingo of threads "ah Q_Q i couldnt buy booze 1 day out of the year" or some such malarky. Come on now, just, get out there and buy your booze ahead of time; at least.

That would require an amount of forward thinking, ergo; intelligence...

On AH....?

Actually, i once tried to drive across the border on the lawn mower to get booze. Wiser heads prevailed luckily enough.

Are the drug dealers closed tomorrow? They didn't have their opening hours up when I passed by earlier.

Fair point but you are guaranteed that they won't be bound by religious festivals.

Forty bottles of Carlsberg and a load of steak for the BBQ.

Thank God for Off Licence Thursday.

Nice one.
I take it that the guests have to bring their own beer. BYOBB as it were.

Now here's what I don't understand about Good Friday.
We're Irish. When someone dies, we go on the piss and celebrate their life.
According to the government and their Catholic Church overlords, this is the day when our lord and saviour died.

Why is it that we can go on the piss when Billy from around the corner dies, but we can't celebrate the life of Jesus in our own unique way on the anniversary of his death?

Apparently this Jesus dude was something special. Why is it that we can't buy alcohol on his birthday or on the anniversary of his death?

Yeah, Hollywood made a few films about him, but the ****er was a paederass. I've seen the Big Lebowski. I know these things. He ****ed 8 year-olds.

westendgirlie · 21-04-2011 11:24PM

I'll be heading to the pub

craggles · 22-04-2011 12:29AM

Since it will then technically (literally) be Saturday shouldn't a bunch of pubs open at that point? Yeah?

Side note, how many people went out tonight for a few quiet pints before midnight? :pac:

TheMilkyPirate · 22-04-2011 12:30AM

One or two around this part did it last year, TBH i don't see the point, Just wait till the next day.

orourkeda · 22-04-2011 12:34AM

Here we go again

AnonoBoy · 22-04-2011 12:42AM

Loads of pubs will be open at midnight.

Not in Ireland though unfortunately.

Mr. Loverman · 22-04-2011 01:06AM

The wine bar beside the Morrison hotel stays open until 7 AM EVERY NIGHT.

PS If you're a Garda please pretend you never saw this post.

Killer Pigeon · 22-04-2011 01:07AM

No, there aren't. This Friday you have to be good.

vampire of kilmainham · 22-04-2011 03:01AM

is drink that important that people cant just go for one day without it and yes i do drink...:(

Sonics2k · 22-04-2011 03:03AM

I'm not even slightly religious, but this is just sad.

Can you not go one fúcking night without going to a bar?

F1ngers · 22-04-2011 03:04AM

Go into town after midnight and there will be a multitude of pubs open and selling beer.

tenchi-fan · 22-04-2011 03:13AM

I know a few dundalk pubs that usually have a lock-in on good friday.

My friends and I usually just got in a few cans and had a cheap evening with beer and pizza.

kkdela6 · 22-04-2011 03:14AM

a day when you cant drink or eat meat?

very inappropriately titled

Dodd · 22-04-2011 03:51AM

Can someone tell me why this law is in place.
I would love to know why it is there.

Think what would happen if there was a no sell smokes/food or what ever day.?
