Arthurs Day....Yay or Nay?

Doom · 2012-09-25 20:34:21

Well what do you think? I think its totally unnecessary and should not be supported , Ireland does not need another 'drinking day' disguised as a celebration of been Irish and the heritage of Guinness- its a French company now anyway! And the idea of starting drinking at 17:59 on a week day is stupid and dangerous. That…

That said...Its a clever piece of marketing by Guinness and falls nicely in with the return of students and payment of grants too, I happened to go to into Galway last year for a pint or two on Arthur's Day, night (totally forgot that it was on)..... the amount of really fcuked up drunk people was embarrassing

My experience...
There was a riot in supermacs in Eyre square....
There was young lads throwing empty bottles of vodka etc at walls and up in the air and two girls where unable to get off the ground they were so drunk.......anyway hope those of you going out enjoy yourselves, because I won't be wasting my night or money on this joke of a night and its an insult to all Irish....piss heads of Ireland on the world stage,
Rant over:)

Nay. Cynical marketing. I always preferred Martha anyway.

I don't understand why you go to the pub to spend money on Arthurs day

If there was free beer I'd go...but there isn't

Piss off Arthur I say
