I'm gonna be 100ft under....

.... Gonna be in Donegal scuba diving. I'm happy to be diving, but would like to be in Galway for Paddys day. I've decided to bring a case of Buckie for that weekend to remind me of Galway

The Kafflick Church have officially changed it to the Saturday! (15th March) Figured this out after much pub debate. Can't have 2 holy days on the one day (Monday), we'd all burn in Hell apparantly.

Looks like I'll be in Galway for it as I'm too late to book off holidays for work. We have the monday (17th) off, the following friday (good friday) and the monday. Missed an opportunity there to take the whole week :mad:

Anyway, back on topic. As usual for Paddys day, Galway will be full of people sh1t-faced and falling on their arses by 1pm -fantastic. Best bet is to get to a good pub with good music, early and stay there. Maybe Tig Coilí for this drunkard

Did the cops close the off-licences last year??

They did yeah, it took them a while tho. They closed them around 5 o'clock last year, but they only closed the main ones where the crowd were.
