The thoughts of spending 70 euro tonight on drink and transport and a dodgy kebab is just turning me off it completely , hopefully I can fight the temptation not to go !

People are really struggling today to spell "Stephen".

Common enough spelling of a pretty common name, no?

Today and tonight is a one for mankind. Football, Horses and more drink. Please enjoy and no more moaning. Happy Stevie's day.

€70? That's cheap. I'd easily spend over a hundred.

I thought there were a few apostrophes in there also? You know, because of his Klingon heritage.

Haven't done so since my early 20s. I loved it back then and always had fun getting shítfaced in my hometown. But I just outgrew it.

A hundred? That's nothing! I'd easily spend a millionty billion.

It's genuinely not the thoughts of spending money that bothers me about tonight. It's the fact you generally get the "once a year crowd" who clog up the main decent pubs (in my town anyway), not to mention the whole "happy to see you" routine when you invariably get caught at the bar for the ridiculosuly long time it takes to get served with someone whose home from Australia that you may not have been too friendly with before they went over.

Few bottles and a film and takeway and match of the day is far more appealing to me tonight.

I was too full of scrumlicious food to enjoy my beer last night. It's a disgrace.

I'll eat a bit less food and drink a bit more beer tonight to balance out the issue.

When I was in America, I was working with another coach called Stephen.

He was telling one of the kids his name was Stephen with a "ph". He got a picture the next day with "Stevphen" on it!

Lux23

I never have, the idea doesn't appeal to me.

Especially if you're a doctor with a hospital named after you, such as Dr. Steevens Hospital in Dublin...

I'll be out early enough in the evening and plenty will be drank. Couldn't imagine staying in on one of the biggest drinking days of the year.

I always found it to be a mess of a day as people go too early. Usually a killing spree by around 8pm and if you go out late you're listening to awful ****e altogether. See also, Easter Sunday (any BH Sunday to some extent), and Paddys Day. Never go near any of them.

Agree 100%. I love nothing more than going for a few pints but there's something about St. Stephen's Day that I detest. I went out last year and lasted 40 mins in the pub before admitting defeat and going home. It was packed with people who had been on the sauce all day. You couldn't move in the place. Drunken eejits talking pure ****e at the bar who I wouldn't say any more than hello to at any other time.

I know I'm coming across as a right scrooge here but I do think it is the worst night of the year to go out.

The friggary lies in the name Steve being short for Stephen.

Unless Stephen is a girl, in which case the short version is Steph or Steff.



Confuses the hell out of me.

It's a load of shyte. xmas in general as you know is just about spending money on crap you don't need.

ElleEm

I hate going out on nights where people think you have to go out. Stephen's day, Paddy's day, new years eve, bank holiday Sundays, I am too long in the tooth to queue for the bar. Fu*k that!

Streetwalker

No thanks. I'll be staying in and refusing to give anyone 5 euro for a pint of beer.

irish_stevo815

Not gonna get the chance to go out since I'll be on the other side of the bar. Working in the local hotel so not much chance to get out much over the Xmas

Lau2976

Nah. I don't drink and pubs just irritate me anyway. I was thinking if heading to a party but I can't stand the hosts girlfriend so I'm gonna relax again

Beaner1

Definitely. Going to fill in some young one (I'm 32). Try for 20 or under but it's getting harder every year.

Liam McPoyle

In my younger days I used to always go into town, then on to a nightclub, nightmarish all round, massive queues, not enough bar staff, everywhere jammers and no taxis to be had at the end of the night, havnt gone out out on Stephens night in 4 or 5 years.

My local hurling club have had a fund raising night in one of the local boozers on Stephens night for the last couple of years so I shall head into that later with burd and my folks. Ma is working in the morning so wont be gargling so that means no worries about getting home.

Wompa1

Working but not working in a pub or club, thanks be to jaysus!

Was never a big fan of it. Brings out a lot of gobsh1tes and is pretty messy. Also no interest in hearing about how amazing Perth is this time of the year :pac:

strobe

I did it a couple of times. Don't think I would again. Messy... messy business. Sometimes at night, I can still hear the screaming...

McChubbin

Was going to head down to me local today for a few beers but it was so crowded on Xmas Eve that it's put me right off.
Also, it's pissing rain down and frankly, I'm too cosy in my fluffy new pyjamas to bother my arse.

Not going out-out, but going to a house party, where there will be about 15 of us, all good friends! Used to always go out Stephen's night, but wouldn't bother nowadays.

Drink what we want, til whatever time we decide to stop. Rack out a few lines on the table, without getting arrested. Smoke indoors. Play the music WE want to hear. No queue for the bathroom. The house is in the middle of nowhere, so don't have to worry about the neighbours.All round, a much cheaper, more enjoyable night out. Can't wait........

Hope everyone enjoys their night, whatever they are up to x

Bloody hell - what a shower of Bah Humbugs. St. Stephen's Day is Christmas Day for adults! A nice lie-in in the morning, horse racing and soccer all afternoon and a few bevvies in the evening - what's not to love? Turkey/ham/stuffing sandwiches for tea and in to the boozer for 7. A nice chat with friends and home for MOTD at 10.30. It's the best day of the year!!

Any day out that includes a timetable is not a good day out.;)
