Not going out Stephan's night

TheSheriff

Sitting on the couch with Bond , an as yet un-opened bottle of wine and a box of miniature heroes.

I dont have the stamina to make it to the kitchen to get the wine opener, let alone make it into town.

I've come to a conclusion about Christmas that its either for people with kids or people who like going out drinking. If you don't have kids and are not interested in getting sh!tfaced then the whole Christmas thing is insufferable.

S.O

Invited some friends over for the night: few bottles + munchies + some films on Netflix works for me instead of going out on st Steven's night; I know all bars including the smaller ones will be full tonight; then there's late night bars/ nightclubs which will be so full people will barely able to move; I don't see any appeal in trying to enjoy a drink only for people to constantly bump into you trying to walk and get past you going in an opposite direction; thanks but no thanks a night in will do me quite fine instead.

merry stevens day yall

my mate told me club 92 is E20 in tonight, think Ill give it a miss, LOL!You would get 8 pints for that in spoons!

kissmequick

Nope. Too much in pain at the minute anyway. My back is giving out / up on me and now my Collar-bone is playing up. Sore biatch of a thing. So I stayed in and caught up on last few episodes of Fair Sh1tty instead! Go me! Havn't been out in a couple of years at this stage! Largely due to having no available funds, plus ill-health doesn't really make being sociable very appealing either. I havn't had a drink all Christmas! Not even one! Would view having a couple of drinks at home on my own as a waste of good drink lol unless was having a House-Party of-sorts. Would only generally associate drink with going out. Can't wait till January 02nd 2015 till it's all over! Think I will have to find a good Hiding-place for the 24 hours of N.Y.E. Brace yereselves the New Years' Statuses are coming! Planning and arranging where everyone's going and all that! And then the whinging about everyplace packed to the rafters! Yeah just need to get through those 24 hours

I'm working a busy bar tonight, gonna be in the restaurant alone, gonna be slaughtered. It's the season for amateur drinkers. Those of us will know how to drink can still get served quickly, I'll always serve hardened drinkers first because they know how to order. Women last, especially in a group, because for the most part they can't order without having a group discussion or asking for a menu.

Try bar work on the continent. Everyone over here needs a discussion and a menu.

Worst part is they call you over before they look at the menu or have their chat.

I'd pronounce Stefan like 'deafen'. What way do people usually pronounce it?

Stefan is usually said like "steFAN" or equal emphasis on each part.

Steffen is emphasised on the first part. Hard to explain in text really. Also, the Stef part of Steffen is very S-y, like how dub boyos say shhhtory boss.

No way would I be going out tonight.
It's just too busy. Better to stay home and have a few beers while watching a movie.

New Years Night is another crazy night. A couple of years ago when I was in my early 20s I thought it was a sin to stay in. That you can't get any sadder. (immaturity, huh?) But it's true what people say it really does turn into just another night out after 12. Albeit an extremely busy night with so much trouble to get a taxi home. Would rather spend it with the girlfriend or family.

Everybody you don't want to know comes out on St Stephens night. A lot the tedious gobsh!tes you thought you finally saw the back of are back from that cultureless dust bowl otherwise known as Australia, and they all have exactly the same "mad" stories.

No thanks.

I ended up taking it easy in the end tonight, only had 10 pints.

Went through a bottle of whiskey and forgot to eat. Which is just as well as the fridge is empty. If you see an angry drunk in Lidl tomorrow morning, avoid me. Well you would anyway, wouldn't you. Best wishes and kisses.

I've a confession , I couldn't resist not going out! I went out for a few quite ones which ended up drinking heavy at one of the lads houses ! Drink you c*nt!

Just back into bed. Got called all sort of names by a hefty gal in a nightclub because I bumped off her. What do you expect in a crowded club, in fairness?

Head low now 'til New Years

Guys I have to say, I have the month of work (my first Christmas off in 6 years and I am only 20) and I am enjoying it so much!!!!! Usually during Christmas I am working every night until 4 or 5 in the morning, so to be able to go out and enjoy myself with all my friends is truly unbelievable! I am so happy ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't gone out Stephens' night in years (though I didn't live here for two of them in the middle), it's absolutely awful in Dublin and so is New Years (though we do a decent job of Halloween even of its a nightmare getting to the bar), will gladly pop over to a gaf party instead or if everyone's going into town just give that a miss altogether in a few days time too. There's pretty much nothing at all put on for it here, just 4-5 times the amount of paralytic gobsh*tes as there would be on a standard weekend, far far higher prices everywhere, half hour queues to get a drink or piss it out, mayhem trying to get taxis after, oh and you get to count backwards from 10 at one point. Yippee!

Please don't tell me they're as bad at standing around at the bar, sipping and chatting away and completely ignoring the queue of 30+ people behind them.

That and shoved drunks are the very, very worst combination you can come across in a single venue... fecking rage inducing!

Didn't get to go out this year as I'm not drinking and I am working today anyway. First stephens night in for years but it was grand.

A lad in his 30s logging onto a message board straight after a night out to tell strangers he got a shift:o

Just think of every aspect of bad bar manners and multiply it by 10. That's Belgium.

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 !

70 euro...what the hell are you buying on your nights out?

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

why did you feel the need to tell us your age

It's very easily done say 10 pints (@4.50 each) 45 euro. Three double vodkas and mixers 33 euro, take away 8 euro, taxi 10 euro. So that over 90 euro and some costs could be more, say less pints more spirits price goes up, entry to a club etc etc.

Who drinks that many pintsin a club or bar?? I just buy some cheap drink beforehand - Less than a tenner. Then maybe spend a tenner on drinks in the club/

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Ten euro into town
Double vodkas and coke in pub about 11.50 x 5
Ten euro into club
5/6 euro a drink in club x 3
Chips 4 euro
Taxi home ten euro
