    I don't think that's really the point though...

    Archaic licensing law put in the place by old Catholic Ireland, I might not want to go for a pint on Good Friday, but DAMMIT I'm entitled to the option...

    That's more it than anything else!

    Can the Irish not live without Alcohol for one bloody day.
    1. Why should anyone "have" to eschew something they consider a recreational activity?
    2. Why this particular day?

    Sure didn't the lord himself pause on the cross for a pint of stout before giving himself up for the world?

    I'm so glad I'm not working to night. We always get several panic-striken people who arrive at the till after 10pm with a trolley full of beer and start throwing abuse at us when we tell them we can't sell alcohol.

    Let me read to you an appreciation letter to thine Holy Thursday.


    Dear Holy Thursday,
    How are you? Good (Friday) to hear. But enough about you. As is tradition I strolled along to ye olde local offy. T'was a sight to see. Queues as far as recently laser surgery enhanced eyes can gaze upon. Every race, every gender, every orientation and every fake-ID handling youngster gathered upon this magical Supervalu til. You might think:"ARGGH!! **** THIS RELIGIOUS ****E!! BACK TO JESUS WITH YE AUL FOGIES" or something exceedingly dramatic in the same vein.

    For me it's a chance to have awkward conversations with pals of friends I knew in school. An opportunity to pretend I have something more important to do than wait in a line. When you reach the counter a sense of achievement that only us as an alcoholic nation can understand. I hope you never leave us Good Friday sale of alcohol outside of airports and greyhound tracks ban.

    Until next year Holy Thursday.

    Regards,
    Your typical Irish stereotype.

    I can do without it, that's why I'm asking. If they close at midnight I'll leave it. Was told that it was normal closing hours tonight though, same deal as when the clocks change.

    Sounds like one or two of the above could do with a drink :rolleyes:

    Mrs Mattjack wanted a bottle of vino or four for herself tomorrow.

    Ventured down to the local Tesco, and I swear to Superman on the cross , it was like something out of Ethiopia in the 1980s.

    Drink starved mobs,.
