St Stephens Day - Plans?

BuboBubo

So all you beautiful people - what's your plans for tomorrow? I'm going to barricade myself in the house with Senor Bubo and the cats, eat leftovers and doss on the sofa like a fat lass.

Anyone going to brave the sales tomorrow? Personally I'd rather fry my own head in lard. The sales can fook right off.

Merry Christmas

Me too,can't wait.Going to get down to my local just before 1pm and enjoy the racing and the football.Best day of the year for sport and beer!!

Rumpy Pumpy

Bookies and watching the soccer. Huge amount of ham sandwiches.

Agricola

Neck a half bottle of rum before heading out at 5. Do de 12 pubs n get fookin' mashed up, hit the chipper bout 2 and leather some cúnts to finish off a top nite....


Either that or retire with a book after watching a suitably festive movie. I haven't decided yet.

I'm just outside Dublin. Alot of our pubs close around 7pm, any that stay open are ****ing mental because the others are closed!

There is a nightclub near me open at 00:01 tonight. Disgraceful. Hope it ends up bombing but I'd say there'll be plenty there.

Tomorrow I spend lounging in my finest Penneys pajamas. Might go for a few quiet drinks in town and hopefully get a seat somewhere before the madness begins.

I'm in the back end of mayo so no plans. I didn't grow up here so I know nobody so the pub isn't happening. Trains aren't running so I can't head home till Wednesday. So I'll probably just hang around and play with my niece.

Apparently it’s a union thing in Dublin. Down the country it’s probably one of the biggest nights of the year. Pubs and nightclubs packed out.

Jimbob1977

I feel sorry for retail staff.

Some of the shops in Dundrum Town Centre are open at 8am. They are probably preparing the stock from 6am.

Watching films and keeping track of the football scores.

I didn’t realise pubs closed early in Dublin on Stephens night. It's always mental down the country! Last year I lasted about ten minutes in a nightclub. Complete mayhem.

Any idea what time bookies open tomorrow?

Liam McPoyle

Having the in laws up for dinner.

They aren't too bad but they are complete social retards so where most normal people would head home after 3 or 4 hours they generally don't go anywhere for at least 6, more if you keep feeding them.

St. Stephens Day.

Do I get a prize, like a sod of turf or something :P

dudara

Sofa, Netflix, reading, more wine. A good long walk.

The sales & shops can feck right off. I actually think it’s terrible that they’re open tomorrow.

It is probably one of the busiest nights of the year in most towns I know followed by a trip to the chipper.

Day Lewin

Traditional muddy walk.
But gosh, it looks like that may be very muddy in-DEED, forecast is for really wet weather.
So, may review this classic plan in favour of movies and the sofa. With Christmas cake :-)

Some of the pubs in Swords and Malahide open about twelve and close at seven while others open later and stay open till normal closing

Cycle in the morning, bookies in the afternoon, pub for liverpool game in the evening, and because i only drink alcohol about 3 times a year, i'll be home in bed by 11

All the pubs around the part of the Northside I live in close around 6 or 7. A few places probably popular with young people in town etc tend to open up normal hours but many don't.

Rubberchikken

Work. Same as today. My days start on wednesday:P
