do pubs close for the all of good friday. i cant seem to remember
Yes, Good Friday is one of two days where public houses are not open.
I remember getting the Dublin/Cork train before and getting tanked up from the bar on it.
must have cost you a bit!Quote:

Think some hotel bars are open to residents too.
Some clubhouses are allowed open aren't they :confused:Quote:

Yep. The Montrose is always packed on Good Friday because there's an international hockey tournament in UCD, and all the players are back drinking away. But the staff are quite particular about not serving us...:(Quote:

Or a famine...
I'm all for freedom of choice and don't like to see the church dictate state laws but it's a sad reflection on us when we can't go without drink for one day.
I remember working in Burger King when I was in college and people would fall in the door, absolutely hammered!
It was like as if they drank more because the pubs were closed.
ya why is that...its very strange. is it because some people dont work that day...easter holidays in colleges and schools too possibly.Quote:

I'm a veggie but I often wondered if I should eat meat on good Friday! :DQuote:

Anyway Schumi, I don't like your comment about Jesus. It's hardly his fault that so many people worship him. Maybe if you said that followers of Jesus are ***** or something instead?
Although, I must admit to being full of admiration for people who are willing to make the ultimate sarcrifice and refrain from eating meat for a whole day. So much sin is washed away by this selfless act and the world is a better place, for 24 hours.
I'll weep with shame as I tuck into a mixed grill for breakfast, steak sandwich for lunch and leg of lamb for dinner.
I'd get done for abusing other forum members then. :DQuote:

Good friday is good for away trips, get some(ie 20) tins the night before and book a bus that will let you drink on board. Great craic(well apart form the 20 **** stops). Harps have Limerick away on good friday may be a bit far for my liking, on the other hand there ain't much else to do

After however many years it is of drinking there after games, I think we're recognised at this stage!Quote:

Was only messing. I don't really eat meat on that day. But if I were to it (and it would be a pretty retarded thing to do because you'd only be doing it to p'ss off a god you don't believe in) it wouldn't be because of my religion but because of my lack of it.Quote:

Off licences have their highest sales of the year the day before Good Friday. They actually sell a lot more than they would have on a normal Thurs and Friday.Quote:
