Lads, seriously now iām just in the door from the local off license. Needed to get my fix of alcohol bought to get me through tonight and tomorrow. Anyway there were five people in the queue in front of me at the counter. This place on a Thursday night you normally just rock up and thereās maybe one person ahead of you the odd time but five tonight! Three early twenties fellas, a middle aged man, a young lady maybe mid twenties. The three lads walked out the door with big slabs of beer over their heads. Iād say the same fellas never drink on a Friday but by god theyāre going to get langers tomorrow and enjoy themselves. Iām reasonably familiar with your man behind the counter being a regular customer. I asked him how busy he was tonight. āBusiest Thursday night in the yearā he says. āAnd youād want to see this place at 10 oāclock, thereāll nearly be a queue out the door.ā
Youāll have to find someone who drinks whisky every day to get an answer, canāt help you any further Iām afraid.
No bother. Are you having a sup tonight?
Did you get your feet washed mate?
I know my mother and father were both to get their feet washed tonight, havenāt spoke to either since. Thereās something incredibly creepy about an old priest washing and soothing your feet with lathers of soapy water. Iām happy enough sitting here at home drinking beer and reading the paper while the church and itās followers can have their creepy little customs.
No you are just fishing muck bud give over.
I didnāt have mine washed. There was 12 pre selected parishioners who had that particular honour
The catholic church is muggin the good catholic boys off good and proper.
Would you have any problem or objection to getting yours washed or would you gladly put your hand up for it?
No issue with it whatsoever
Good Friday. One of the greatest days
More important day then Christmas mate.
I just said a few prayers there
Stations of the cross tomorrow in St Marys Churchā¦Iāll be thereā¦
Missed prayers last night as I was working late in order to be off today. Will head down home around lunch time so I should make prayers at 3pm.
As an aside I see Pope Francis joined Instagram last week, heās such a great man. Iāve had this going through my head all morning to the tune of Achey Breaky Heart / Mesut Ćzil song:
Weāve got Francis
Pooooope Francis
I just donāt think you understand
Heās Jesus Christās man
Heās better than the Imam
Weāve got Pope Francis
Looking forward to a nice bit of fish this evening.
Getting ready to watch The Passion of The Christ now.
Jesus died for our sins.
#neverforget
Never forget what he did for us
