Clowns wearing Christmas Jumpers with lights, this seems to be the new thing this year for the 12 pubs. Big college gobsh1tes out spending their parents money or the State's if they're on the grant.

I was in Dublin yesterday and witnessed these cretins taking over such established Ale houses as McDaids of Harry st and Mulligans of Poolbeg street. Big loud festive mouths arriving in annoying everyone and getting sick in the smoking area and toilets.

you sound like a boring person.

Sick of the mobs in stupid jumpers alright. Saw the barman in The Swan run over to stop them coming in. I love The Swan.

Are you sure???? I think everyone I know and more have done at least one night of debauched drunkenness that they probably can't remember.

Maybe, just maybe, you were the odd one out?

Nice typically Irish response there to someone critical of the rampant binge drinking culture in this country.

Ah, shur he's probably just a dry shite.. not wanting to get completely wasted and make a show of himself...

There's a firm line between advocating moderation and being a grumpy puritan. The OP was very much on the wrong side of that line

Christmas jumpers?? Ah, that makes more sense alright.

I had thought there was a Noel Edmonds convention in town.

BNMC · 15-12-2013 04:34PM

I've never done the whole 12 pubs thing. In our local town there's one every year organised by a loud mouth, beer guzzling lesbian. Around 50 people do it, prancing from one over crowded shithole to another at this loud mouth's request. You even have to register to take part. I shit you not.

The thought of spending 6 hours with a shower of chino and Christmas jumper wearing, over bearing twats does nothing for me.

I don't care about Christmas jumpers or drunkeness. The only thing that bothers me is the apparently increasing acceptability of public vomiting.

People who wouldn't dream of littering have excused puking on pavements in my presence. Go figure.

Doesn't the whole 12 Pubs thing depend entirely on binge drinking, though? It's a horrible, almost forced tradition, just my own opinion obviously... and I've no issue with people going out and enjoying themselves whatsoever, but I can see where the OP is coming from.. when a group of already inebriated and loud fcukers come falling in the door of a pub it can be very off-putting to people who are just there to enjoy a few pints in peace.

I've nothing against festive jumpers though fwiw! :pac:

I'm going on my 12 pubs this thursday with my college crowd. I am going to put on an extra crap christmas jumper, get scuttered and hopefully wake up to the grinch posting a thread dedicated to me on boards the next day.

P.S. people get sh*tfaced and loud in bars regardless of time of year or what kind of top they are wearing...you not go out that much?

Well then if these people are falling in as bad as you make out should you not take issue with the bouncers allowing these people into the establishment? They may simply be merry and having fun but if they are as bad as some people make out they would not get entry into the place. Its a pub not a church. There may well end up being a bitta noise there. If its to loud they get thrown out then by the barman/security. Pubs arent libraries tbf.

The sudden spike in the demand for Christmas jumpers seems to correlate with the whole Social Networking popularity amongst people today. Fair enough, neither will do any harm to either man nor beast. I dont wish to do the twelve pubs but the Christmas jumper thing is a bit of fun.

I notice a change in the people going out today though. Many aren't content with just minding their own business in pubs/niteclubs anymore. Men dont just hassle women, they hassle absolutely anyone unfortunate enough to have to pass them out. Some of the cheap women going out today are all the more obnoxious. The general consensus is that their state of drunkenness completely absolves today's people from their shítty behaviour.

People getting bladdered is part of a plan for a night out as opposed to a complete accident. No one is content with just one or two drinks to loosen them up. It has to be a complete binge. I enjoy a few pints myself but if i was ever anyway resembling some of these people today it would be time to take a good hard look at myself. We had of course our friend last night who came onto AH looking for sympathy when the Gardai laughed at him when he was thrown out of a niteclub and lost his belongings and actually complained him. Not everyone goes out to act the ass but one is far too many.

This Facebook craze i could never get. Every single photo seems to be morons in a big silly cheap looking artificial pose out in a pub or club, craving the thumbs up. 'Hey look at us we have a life, Were out on the town and we want to get bladdered!'. :rolleyes: Que the responses 'Looking well Sharon' , 'Wow stunner' :rolleyes:
Yet I and others are almost treated as social pariahs for not wanting any part in this shíte?

What the hell is wrong with wearing a Christmas jumper

Anything you said after that is irrelevant.

No, you are mistaken. No one is asking you to take part, most are just sick of people like yourself moaning about others out having a good time. No one is asking you to join in. Also no one is asking you to "get" this facebook "craze". If you don't understand it, stop trying. You'll be happier for it and others won't have to listen to your perennial whinging.

Richard Hillman · 23-12-2013 03:26AM

My most annoying festive people are the type of people that need to constantly remind everyone about how unfortunate the lives of other people are.

How are you suppose to have a nice time when you are constantly reminded of bad things.

Sir Arthur Daley · 23-12-2013 03:49AM

The most annoying festive people are all the charities out in force in the towns and cities, it was endless how many different groups around cork city the weekend, im not knocking charities and i do support them but when they really get in your face that is a bit too much.

Jesus calm down. I must add that I should have phrased it differently. Alot of my own friends are on FB so not everyone who uses it is bad. But from experience when people have asked me to add them and I've told them I'm not on it I get either a lecture or a stare of amazement (mostly both) There seems to be a consensus that your anti social or 'missing out' if your not on it which is rubbish. Perhaps I just like going about daily life without documenting my social life or what I had for dinner.

In general I just think this new found obnoxious nature people have is linked to the emergence of facebook. As I previously stated most people are relatively decent but all you need is one twat to have too many

one of their group was horribly obnoxious, loud, bitching about people by name at the top of her voice, hitting people who weren't listening to her and shouting "listen to me" at everyone who dared to speak to someone else.

You?
