Bank holiday Monday

5th May 2008

posted in Blog |

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

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.

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.

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 ?

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!

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.

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?

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.
