St Stephen's Night.

Ciderswigger · 26-12-2015 07:47PM

I worked in a nightclub for 8 years, Stephens night was the absolute worst. My first year off I went out and was so excited till I realised that it's absolute mayhem, getting to the bar takes so long that you're better off ordering 4 drinks at once, and you end up bumping into so many people you haven't seen in so long that you don't really end up hanging out with your friends. It was better to be working than be the other side of the bar!

Now? Now I stay in with Die Hard or Lethal Weapon and a Corona or two. I'm not old, I'm wise.

Somebody would have to come, pick me up, carry me all the way to the pub, sit me down and order the first round.
Oh, and keep them coming!

rmchmufc · 26-12-2015 07:57PM

I'm staying in. I can't handle the huge crowds that will be in every pub. I didn't mind it so much a few years ago but not anymore

hairyslug · 26-12-2015 07:58PM

15% off justeat (there are other online food ordering services) not a hope of me leaving the couch tonight

paulie21 · 26-12-2015 08:36PM

Heading out. Anyone think it would be acceptable to wear my Christmas jumper out?

Samsgirl · 26-12-2015 08:40PM

Pj's have already been deployed. Just waiting for the kids to go asleep so I can raid their selection boxes..
It will either be scurvy or diabetes for the new year for me!
Hate Stephen's night out and also New Years Eve.

Hate busy nights like this. Think it comes from so many years of working in bars and having to deal with the crowds that come out on these nights. The idea of going out tonight is a nightmare.

I'm going to my Godmother's house with my Mother and we are staying in and drinking Bailey's hot chocolate and eating cheese

If we were in Kerry,it would be almost as big as Nollaig na mBan in Cork, but nt long hoe and wrecked so drinks at home.

Lux23 · 26-12-2015 08:53PM

Nah, I will be in bed soon.

MilesMorales1 · 26-12-2015 09:02PM

I'm sitting here reading a Bill Bryson book, eating my first food, and I'll be staying in this position till 1 or 2am.

JupiterKid · 26-12-2015 09:09PM

Went out for something to eat. Then home to catch the Downton Abbey Christmas episode.

No sign of any wren boys here in Dublin.

Ronin247 · 26-12-2015 09:09PM

I am a Man United fan so I cannot show my face till we win again....... could be here for a while:P

irishguitarlad · 26-12-2015 09:21PM

In Spain so they dont really go out as much as here for Stephens Night, going to wait until new years eve and eat my 12 grapes and wear my red underwear for luck haha

Spanish Eyes · 26-12-2015 09:23PM

St. Stephen's Night in the pub is for young wans, and those who need to escape!

Happy out here, horrible weather, missing nothing by not going out. Lucky me.

Normal life resumes tomorrow lol.

Don't make New Year Resolutions you can't keep.

Bongalongherb · 26-12-2015 09:34PM

Gave up going to pubs years ago, you couldn't pay me to go to a put this evening. After drinking over the christmas how can people still go to the pub and hold in the drink ? Surely a person would be sick of drink at this stage. A night in with the bong and a few more good films suits me grand.

Zimmey · 26-12-2015 09:36PM

Used to love Stephen's night out as a chung wan when I really did drink to get drunk, but not into it any more. Tonight will entail hot ports, tea and homemade blueberry and apple pie with custard and whipped cream.

PTH2009 · 26-12-2015 09:42PM

just finished work, few bottles at home watching TV plus I'm 26 2morrow and working too

I often hear Dublin folk talking of phoning the police to report a crime.

Do they sing de do do do de da da da down the line at them or something?

There is few nights out of the year that i hate.

Stevens day, Paddys day, WIT Xmess day, Whensday night of RAG and Fresher week in waterford.

These are the nights i don't go out and stay in and get drunk with myself as its more fun as you will only see people you don't wont to be talking to on a night like tonight.

So i have a 70 euro bottle of vodka for myself and i will be enjoying that to myself instead of being in my local pub with 16 year olds ha ha.

I was bored in my parent's house so went home. Was bored there so I decided to go for a pint. Sitting here in a city centre pub that surprisingly quiet and having a nice pint at the bar. I am content here. Much more so than if I went to a club or somewhere along temple bar. Rowdy crowds around there this time of year.

? Don't get that. What would you say.

Well it seems if Donegal does say Boxing Day we need to hand it back to the queen with apologies for the state of the roads, and the locals.

TheSheriff · 26-12-2015 11:06PM

Staying in. Couldn't handle town tonight. Queuing 30mins for a drink , no thanks. Captain Philips starting on rte in 20 minutes and a bottle of wine in the fridge..... Much happier

I was shopping in Iceland last witmas day and these 2 yokes with Xmas jumper came in asking for stupid things In the horrors and saying they were staying in the travel lodge and it was only 2pm. If I worked in a pub I'd be in jail now lol

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 26-12-2015 11:30PM

In for the first Stephens night in 10 years. I'm getting old. But **** tha, actually being able to do things tomorrow outweighs getting drunk and acting the gowl back home.

St Stephen's Night.
