Lunchtime Drinking

Degsy

Is this becoming a thing of the past?I beleive it is a symptom of the malaise and generally poofyness seeping into irish society that people no longer creep out to the pub at lunchtime,have five or six pints,back to work for an hour or two then back to the pub for another ten or twenty pints.I propose a campaign for a return to manliness and a return to lunchtime drinking..who's with me?

I am but I doubt my boss is. Still had an odd pint here and there at lunchtime.

It's something that I've never really experienced in Ireland and I've mortified workmates by suggesting a sly pint or two at lunch. Whereas when I worked over in England, it was a case of avoiding the straw poll to be designated driver for Friday lunchtime and pints a-go-go. Made for some marvellously sluggish Friday afternoons.

Its a fact.In England the working day simply zooms by in a haze of alcoholic oblivion.We need to be more like them in this regard.

I've always been keen on the lunchtime pint or two.
I started my lunchtime drinking career going to Doolan's on Hogan Place.
20 years on & I'm going there again.
The bar staff aren't as friendly as 20 years ago, but the pints are better.

Why go drinking at lunch when you can just go home? Tis alot better imo.......just don't go back in!!!!
