12 Pubs

124

    I can understand the disdain for a group of people walking backwards and drunk into a pub with some Fun-Nazi barking rules and blowing a whistle.

    However, I am sensing a lot of hate towards the Christmas Jumpers. I think it's unfair to assume everyone wearing a Christmas jumper is on the 12 pubs. It's a festive session and I get great joy in putting on my Rudolph jumper and heading out and judging by the sales of these jumpers and other festive fashion items I am not alone in this.

    I would be pretty disappointed and peeved to be turned away not because I'm on an intense bender with 20 other yobos but because I have terrible taste in fashion.

    <HARRUMPH> We at the Val Doonican Appreciation Society wholeheartedly agree and concur and agree. Mine's a brandy-and-port, with plenty reindeer roasting on an open fire, chief! :cool:

    Orgsinised pub crawls are a balls. By the fourth pub every bugger is rowing over where they go next, by the fifth they are no good to the pub they go into, slobbering over their drink and roaring about the 'bants' and being 'blindo'.

    Fcuk off somewhere else, 12 pub brigade. Like Iran.

    Bants Blindo eh, there's the best Star Wars character that never was. Probably an uncle of Boba Fett! :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    I drink how and when I like. If you don't like that then you can get f*cked.

    I've done two of them already this winter and I have at least one more. They're a great way to let off steam and there's always a series of random events throughout the night. I don't know how anyone is spending 100 euro for one though. Are ye drinking liquid gold or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭pauliebdub


    We're doing it next Friday, at least 10 of us going to 12 different pubs. We all have to wear our Christmas jumper and reindeer hats and since I'm organising it have to carry a bell that I ring when it's time to move on to the next pub. Can't wait, it's always mad, apart from the odd hassle.

    You should print off the rules for everyone, maybe make laminated cards, save on the hassle later.

    All the participants have to do is wear a Christmas jumper, I'll buy the hats in advance as soon as numbers are confirmed so that we are all wearing the same hats.

    Jesus yeah, It'd look so stupid if one of you didn't have matching hats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭RedemptionZ


    Yeah in terms of the proper organised ones they can go do one. I don't own a christmas jumper but I did a 12 pubs last year so I just wore my normal clothes just me and the lads, we had a few rules but they weren't enforced at all. Went around the 12 pubs got fairly smashed then headed home 70 quid down the drain. Was good craic because of who I was with but not worth it at all. 12 cans and a takeaway in one of the lads' gaffs would've been better(we didn't get in to all the pubs and had to queue for a while for some of the pints) and a hell of a lot cheaper.

    I'm sorry but women have no place at a twelve pubs...for one they only drink every third pub or something like that. And most importantly I don't want to be near women when I am struggling with my 8th pint of the night :pac:

    What a petty attitude to have.

    I said I drink how and when I like and ye straight away presume that A. I'm a belligerent drunk and B. I drink to such excess that my liver is in a jocker.

    I've been out twice perhaps 3 times since September. I do my 5k weekend run the morning afterwards. Like I said I drink how and when I like but ye straight jump on the boards high horse.


    Nice attitude ye have on how others chose to live their lives too btw :rolleyes:

    I best not tell them I drink to excess then

    I only do it to see the look on the faces of the patrons who have to look at me holding back a pish instead of staring aimlessly into a pint of Beamish wondering where it all went wrong.

    Bless them. They probably have no friends to do the 12 pubs with. I wonder why..

    If people doing the 12 pubs is the only thing they have to worry about then they're doing OK.

    A fella was floored at one last weekend in Cashel, some bars regulars don't take too kindly to this tradition. So just make sure to keep the noise level acceptable and respect the locals. :)
