    Have you any Good Friday Traditions?
    For example eating fish and hot cross buns followed by a nice mass and topped off with a three hour religous Hollywood epic.

    Personally,I religously like to honour the Messiah by downing a dozen cans while watching The Life of Brian.

    What are yours?

    when i worked in the UK we got the day off...what a fine Catholic country this is making you work on the anniversary of Our Lord dying.








    ps I'm only a religious crank when theres a chance of a day off....

    Poker, beer, a meaty dinner and watching The Masters is gonna be my Good Friday. I'm clearly a religious motherfcuker

    Call me old fashioned but I like to think about the nature of self-sacrifice and think about all those who have given their lives to help/save others etc.

    I'll be having a pint or two because I'll be travelling, and whatever I feel like for dinner which may or may not include meat. The notion of deliberately going out of your way to break some rules you don't believe in or need to abide by is beyond me though. Childish.

    This thread will attract as many rebels as the ice planet Hoth.

    If only God had created a Death Star instead of the Christmas star we could end all pubs closed on Good Friday threads for the next 10 years.

    Being a zany bastard and boasting about eating meat and drinking while obsessing about something I don't believe in.

    Trying to think of something clever to post to thumb my nose at everyone who is posting sarcastically about those who don't like explicitly religious rules being enforced on those who don't subscribe to that religion........

    Head too fried today. I'll be back.

    Back in the days when we were forced to go to mass we used to call them holy days of aggrivation.

    Not arsed about the lack of pubs open myself, while i dont agree religion has any place dictating laws i look at it as just a day off for pub and nighclub workers, who get stuck working all the sh1tty big drinking nights the rest of the year

    As much as I ignore the religious aspect of this day it's still great to have the day off work so I can enjoy me steak and booze
