bigsteve Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 All-day drinking is the business 8-) What did we used to do before the licensing laws allowed it :? Anyone else remember pubs shutting at 2PM and not re-opening, I think, until 7PM. I think the laws changed during the 80s, but how ancient does it sound now Quote
Dewi Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I did, got pritty twisted :twisted: Nothing to special mind, I do however feel ruff atm :x Quote
whos_this_guy Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 i went out to a 80's night. was pretty good, until we got to drunk and got thrown out - on the way out! Green guniness! Quote
JasonB Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Didndt celbrate it, didnt see the point, didnt celebrate pancake day either. Quote
Uberduck Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 All-day drinking is the business 8-) You are right! Its funny walking through the streets between pubs pissed up when people are out shopping etc. I always seem to get pissed easier in the daytime :? . Quote
Chrissie Brown Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I'm part Irish (my maternal grandfather is Irish -surname O'Grady) I work in Tescos and yesterday was a non-uniform day when most of us wore something green or something to do with guinness to celebrate the day. We each donated a £1 to a kids charity. It was a good laugh. In the evening just stayed at home and chilled out with a glass of wine and listed to part of Tongy's show and Dormouse's radio show. 8-) Quote
Neuro Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Was doing an essay solidly all of that day, but did manage to slip in a few Guinnae before going out to Planet in the Union (the Uni's weekly club night... we went straight down to the main room on the bottom floor, no warm-up, lol). Absolutely spot on Bjorn and Uber with the daytime drinking stuff, always too many packets of crisps, and always the 'surprise' of how bright it is outside when you're moving to the next bar... Quote
Uberduck Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Tim, your so right it's scary. I wish I was back at uni now. Such a piss easy life. Live it while you can!! Quote
Wakey Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Well I went down to pizza hut for lunch in the afternoon and then hit Weatherspoons where I managed to get my guiness hat! Then down the bar and our Radio station Livewire were having a fundraiser for Radio For Development charity, I think we ended up raising over £2500 !! And then it was on to the LCR club night where more drinking ensued. Spent a lot of money but a very good day! Quote

Aza Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I wish I was back at uni now. Such a piss easy life Hardly mate - it does have its easy moments, but when the work comes, it certainly hits you. After an easy first semester, when I returned early this year for semester two they gave out a piece of coursework in EVERY module! My last one is to be handed in next week! I then break up for easter (which aint no break) cos when I return I will have me exams the week after returning! Quote

Neuro Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Well I'll have had both soon! Hectic work at uni in same way as Aza said, but in Spain I'll be doing my 9-5pm job (though I am told the hours are slightly flexible ) Quote
