Bank holiday Monday
Posted on | May 5, 2008 | 34 Comments
The choices are as follows:
- Outside some pub in town or down the coast
- In Ron’s gloomy bar
- In my back garden with the BBQ on and the dog lazing at my feet
Where should the bank holiday beers be consumed? Answers on a postcard.
I am refreshed having not gone out for Sunday night beers due to overconsumption the previous nights. Now I can enjoy the sunny day – and be aware folks that this is our summer happening before your very eyes. Make the most of it.
Don’t come crying here when the deluge continues through June, July and August.

It’s cruel to have Bastardface out in the garden in the sun when he’s not used to it. He could overheat and spontaneously combust. Don’t be a cunt, take Ron to the coast.

Down the coast Twenty. Bring a camera. Show us the world as you see see it. :P

Yep, it’s gorgeous. My daughter’s out in the sandpit, singing outside the window (of the gloomy room I’m typing in, what am I doing?)
And late Spring was our summer last year, it’s true.
Our weather is like a sword of Damocles hanging over us.
I suspect Twenty’s wearing 3/4 length trousers as we speak.

Oh, no, I say garden. Garden! Unless you have to pick up dog crap first…

Back garden definitely. When else can you smoke up your neighbour’s clean laundry, fill their flowerbeds with empty beer cans and play fetch on the lawn with Bastardface using a stunned orphan? There’s also something about the idea of a barbeque with a dog at your feet that reminds one of a Viking funeral.

Here bloody here. I told people that yesterday and they fobbed me off with declarations of ‘Ah no sure it was a bad year last year so it’ll be good this year’ and ‘the southern hemisphere had a good summer so that means we’ll have a good one, always happens like that’
Imbeciles, Stimpy, IMBECILES!

Has this site been hacked ? Twenty not heading to Ron’s salubrious establishment on a Bank Holiday? I must go read the Book of Revelations

It is truly the end of days, maggot.
Viking funeral – heh

There will be rioting on the streets where I live Twenty – all the ATMs in town are down. No drinking vouchers for the masses. Of course, I have a line of credit in the more exclusive taverns.
May 5th, 2008 @ 11:14 am
christ the amount of gin consumed in the sun yesterday was criminal.
I would vote for BBQ in the garden.
None for me today though… ugh.

Be a man morgor! Do you want the drinks industry to wither away ?
May 5th, 2008 @ 11:20 am
go for the back garden, with the bbq. Only if you have a bbq though! otherwise, get your arse to some pub and either sit outside, or go down the coast.
Ron’s just sounds too dark for the day in Ireland…
In other news, I think my part of England is getting your good weather tomorrow :D

Doesn’t Ron’s place have a sun roof ?
May 5th, 2008 @ 11:57 am
No maggot, you have it all wrong.
Ron’s is a dingy little basement with no windows.
You’re thinking of a Volkswagon Convertible.

Sitting outside pubs is for ponces and it fucks up good beer

Look who’s talking!
(Unless you know a good pub with a ditch in it, I’d stay quiet if I were you.)

Sounds perfect – I hate bright and sterile bars with clean tables and fresh air. Give me a midden with decent beer and (reasonably) clean glasses any day!

Bollox to that, I’m at work.
I hope you get fucking sunburned.

Here in the US today is ‘Cinco de Mayo’. It’s an unofficial holiday that is not really celebrated in Mexico but that hasn’t stopped us from requiring that all 20-somethings go to a bar and drink overly expensive, tastes like piss, Mexican beer with a slice of lime in it until they fall over.
I’ll be off to my local about 6pm.
May 5th, 2008 @ 2:35 pm
hey brianf …
that corona is great stuff
There no gas in it so I can drink about 5 in an hour

If your going down the coast twenty dont forget to leave some food in the basement for your … well only you know whats down in that basement

the bed is the place to be on a bank holiday.
May 5th, 2008 @ 3:28 pm
Alone?
May 5th, 2008 @ 4:17 pm
Fuck the beer – why not have ….
Buckfast with the other spotty ones in the park and pass out on the rosebed.
Voddie & Red Bull with the demented ones on the street corner and shout at the passers by.
Cheap sherry in a brown bag with the winos and growl about the world
Spritzers with the girls, talk about chick flicks and what bastards men are
G & Ts with the yuppies on the boulevards and whinge about negative equity
Flagons with the crusties and try to keep breathing only through your mouth
Poitin with the mad uncles and wonder where the month went
Oh, sweet alcohol, gateway to life

Just how often do sunny days occur in Ireland? Once or twice a year? Was the one you spoke about a phenomenon or could it have been a UFO?
May 5th, 2008 @ 6:44 pm
suns out, wifes maning he BBQ, children are at her parents….time to go to the bar!!!
May 5th, 2008 @ 7:22 pm
Corona beer from Mexico is about EUR 45 a case, if not more, in the off-license.
If you want North American beer, go for a case of Molson from Canada. EUR 16 a case, until the anti-drink Nazis find out.

Get down the coast man and take the dog. Head for Wexford so you can see what it looks lilke before it gets swamped with every cunt from Dublin.

Whiskey is only consumed in the ditch, well after dark
May 6th, 2008 @ 2:01 am
And it’s proper whiskey. None of your Paddy, Power’s or Jameson shite.
