What a load of bollocks.
Thankfully Ron holds no truck with this ridiculous, outdated, archaic custom.

Sorry Twenty can’t stop, on my way to the stations of the cross….

Surely even the publicans are allowed one day off in the year. After all they do spend the year listening to the likes of you :)
The Off-Licenses were open all week if you wanted to stock up for the day.

@Niall:
Pubs have two days off in the year. Christmas Day and Good Friday.
April 6th, 2007 @ 2:56 pm
That’s two days too many.

Valehru,
2 whole days off!! If a normal business was run like that, there would be bloody war. I still reckon they deserve the day off. Let Twenty stock up before Good Friday if has wants a few drops.

You can’t be in a service industry and then complain about needing time off.
Hotels don’t close. Neither should bars.

I ate a ham sandwich today. What happens now?

The Philster, you’re fucked.

Seems as if no one in this crew will make it to heaven. It’ll be lonely there all by myself.

Brendan Behan and Patrick Kavanagh used to go to the dog show in the RDS on Good Friday, because it was the only place in Ireland you could buy a drink.
Behan was once heard remarking, “Jaysus, this’d be a great place for a pint … if it weren’t for all these fucking dogs!”

Twenty,
I know of plenty hotels that close down for the off season in various parts of the country. You going to complain about them too? Everyone’s entitled to a bloody break.
Trust me, I would love a pint of the black stuff now, but I’m not going to begrudge the publicans their day off. If you want a pint, there will be plenty of pubs opening at 12 tonight to let in the alcos :)

Niall, and you usually want to do on your day off? You want to go to the pub!
Too bad all the pubs are closed when you finally have a day off….

Daniel,
I didn’t have the day off :(
April 6th, 2007 @ 7:20 pm
Daniel,
Besides which, I have a fridge full of Beer :)

Jaysus – did you see those ARSEHOLES on Stephen’s Green today about 4 o’clock – dragging along with them a big fucking cross and all in black and looking as miserable as a winters morning. What a load of crap Good Friday is! Miserable – fucking miserable – it’d drive you to drink it would.
I agree Twenty – it IS a load of crap and whilst I dont even drink booze, the city seemed dead without the pubs open and people sunning themselves with a pint as happy as a pig in shite.
Good friday is the worst day of the year.

I’m typing this with a pencil blue-tacked to my forehead having been crushed nigh to death by a herd of panicking drinkers stampeding into my local off-licence in the pre-Good Friday rush last night. I’ll being taking my nutrients through a straw for a while to come. Which is ok because I managed to secure the last case of Buckfast before the ambulance arrived.

Liam,
That’s what you get for leaving it to the last minute :) My fridge is kept well stocked :)

Givvus a pint man, you hoarding bastard?! Stick it on the next bus to Drogheda. And Some Tayto. Good man.
April 6th, 2007 @ 11:29 pm
Oh, and twenty blues.

Quick flight up to Belfast like. Take care of that little problem. Fitter women. Less dangerous than Dublin as well.

Idlebones,
Would have loved to, but me poor legs got confused between the brakes and the accelerator. I’ll be getting someone to tow the car out of the ditch in the next two days.
