St Stephens Day - Plans?

helimachoptor

Trying to convince the wife to go out in her town so I can stay in with the kids.

The waft of Guinness and ham/turkey farts in the tiny pub is horrendous.

Hitting a particular shop for a particular pair of trainers I've had my eye on for a while.

I only do sales in a targeted manner, and that's why I love them!

Happy Christmas, everyone!

Out on the beer.

I've pre ordered all I want in the sales, will be in like Flynn, then home, back working Thursday, thank goodness some retailers close for 3 days!

Then cleaning and bad movies if I can get the remote!

I've had my eye on a couple of sweatshirts in next, but they've taken them offline! So much for that! Same in UK! It makes me mad!

Joeseph Balls

To my parents for dinner, drinks, watching sport and the the annual family darts comp.

I'm staying in my pyjamas and reading and stuffing my face.

Love the way that it’s terrible that the shops are open tomorrow and people would rather fry there head in lard than go to the sales. However going to the bookies where presumably there will also be staff is seen as perfectly fine with no contradiction....only in Ireland. Each to their own I guess but I’d rather fry my head in lard than do any of either shopping or pub/bookies tomorrow.

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.

Name, out of interest?

I have heard about this on Good Friday but never Christmas

Tbh I don't know why retail staff get all the sympathy. I was in work today. No sympathy for me

Meeting some friends in Cork for an early dinner at their place. Maybe a good walk in some woods if it’s not too wet. Any posters going out on the Wren? I think it’s a big thing here down in Cork.

Don’t go to pubs any more, not into gambling so racing and bookies is not my thing and shopping is a chore to me.

Who is Stephen and why does he get a day named after him?




Personally i have a wren to hunt. Maybe even two.

A green guy that owns the park near grafton street. And the shopping centre too.

I don't know how anyone has the energy for those sales

I’ll do my annual Stephens day morning trip to Powercity to look at big TVs that I want to buy but usually never do (it’s a good way to get out of the house for an house). Then home to watch the Leinster v Munster match and eat myself into another food coma

Run around the Reeks or up Mangerton, first snow run of the season.

Go for a walk and head out with the missus later. A few quiet pints, nothing hectic. That'll be the festive beering done for another year.

Long run in the morning. Visiting family in afternoon. Relax tomorrow evening as back to work on 27th.

Ray Donovan

Going to see Star Wars in the morning at 10:30. Home and cook a roast lamb dinner and hopefully have it ready in time for the Leinster v Munster game.

Find a film or Netflix then for the evening. Have had enough of drink after Friday and Saturday.

How long is a long run?

Bassfish

Hopefully the weather holds up to take the small fella out on the tricycle Santa brought him and then get him down for his nap in time for Munster v Leinster so daddy can enjoy some of his special bottle from the top cupboard

Id love to go racing tomorrow but herself doesn't want to. I'll be on the road I'd say but I will have all my bets done before I leave.

Watch 'People just do nothing' on Netflix if any of ye haven't. It's brilliant, very funny. The only problem is they don't have the third season up there yet

The premise is hilarious though - Jackie Chan vs the IRA, but it works!

Eat loads of food again.
Out for a walk in the woods, already feeling I need walks.

Girlfriend and the kids are going to her family's for 24 hours so locked door with football and beer and maybe a bit of Turkey curry.

MyStubbleItches

Staying at the in laws for Christmas so as soon as I can get Mrs. Stubble out of bed I'll be cooking breakfast of an assortment of sausages from the English market. Dog over to templemore then to swim her after her day of pigging out yesterday. Shower, quick run to the bookies to back my picked horses and straight to the pub at 2.30 in the hope of a good seat for the rugby. Probably home at 7 or 8 then before it gets too la-la. Looking forward to it.

Don Kiddick

I always cook dinner for my father on Stephens day, been doing it for 25 years now... basically he calls to me at 12... I give him a glass (or 3) of whisky we chat as I cook and then he eats his bodyweight in ham.....he's in his 80th year, so I know there won't be many more of these to come .. but I cherish each one and always hope for one more

mirrorwall14

Nothing. Prep and lay the leftovers so one hell of a lot less work. Can’t go for a walk as I’ve bust my foot. Relaxing for the day.

Waiting on funeral arrangements for a gran aunt before we can plan the next few days. I didn’t know her all that well but want to go for Granny’s sake

mojesius

Couch and TV with the dog. Food and films.

HalloweenJack

Go to the gym in the morning then watch football and play FIFA all day.

It's a working day in Spain but I'm on holidays til the eighth so I'm making the most of it as if I was back home. The missus is quite jealous.

That would be an ideal day for me.

Have to go to the in laws for dinner. The Mam is a great cook and it will be manic there with all the grandkids going mental and the rest of us trying to watch the football in the sitting room, but its a good day with everyone around. Would still prefer to be at home alone watching all the sport but what can you do.
