Sunday
Iām not taking part in this thread today lads. Itās Good Friday. I donāt want to interact with trolls on Good Friday and unfortunately they usually appear when I post here.
Iāll be liking posts alright though.
I find I drink more on good friday than any other time of the year. Iād have a glass of a nice whiskey every now and then, and a glass of wine with dinner (probably once per week), but no more than @anon7035031, it would be very much in moderation. Good friday, whatever it is about it, seems to really bring out the āirishā in me.
Iād agree with you on the feet washing. Iām not a church-goer, but even if I was I donāt think Iād like to be up at the top of the church having some lad giving my toes a bit of a wash. It must be rough on the priest if heās a bit iffy about touching someone elseās feet. Iād say heād be shitting himself that heād get some old bat with a list of foot ailments as long as your arm - bunions, corns, fungus, etc.
I dont drink but why do people drink more good friday
Because they canāt go to a pub.
Probably our rebelious nature coming to the fore Joe. The churchās hypocrisy is no doubt embedded in our sub-conscience at this stage, so when they say ādonāt have false godsā, people turn to vices - sex, drugs, and so forth. When they say ādonāt drink on good fridayā, people stock up the day before and get drunk on supposedly one of the biggest events in the churchās calendar.
Letās say it for what it is, a two fingers to the church and their makey uppey list of rules they want to enforce on us.
Maybe not tonight, but whenever youāre at a loose end again you might enjoy reading a bit about Roberto Calvi (āGodās Bankerā).
A glass of wine a week? Are you a priest?
Thatās a disgusting post. But I forgive you, my child.
Happy Easter Saturday, Lads Iām in the market for a mass today
Fair play to you, you really showed us there so you did, you must must feel like an awful big man now
Lads getting hung up on drink on a Good Friday.
I hope they keep the law as it is. If it changed it would end up like the worst day of the year St Patrickās Day, arseholes with a day off pissed by lunchtime, no doubt theyād all be going around with crosses around their neck before its binned or lost when their hangover hits.
Two days of no pubs. The birth and the death of our Lord. Respect.
Itās over seven weeks since Iāve had a drink. I might have a pimms tomorrow.
Glad to have helped pal. Surprised you would be āshownā by anyone though. Didnāt one of the gospels preach āWhat you seek after is within you.ā after all? Then again, that could be one of the gnostic gospels the church declared heretical.
You are an amazing Roman Catholic, treat yourself to a drink, you deserve, I am looking forward to a day of spiritual enlightenment, I am going to bring my nieces and nephews out for a meal, then I will go for a walk around mullaghmore to reconnect with the soil
āI sold off the old farmyard for what it was worth
and into my bag stuck a handful of earthā
Weak minded simpletons Joe who are trying to act out.
āSo I got me a train and caught me a plane and found myself back in the US againā
people trying to prove what great atheists they are, the same cunts whoāll be roaring for a priest when they are in the bed when their time comes, I tell you one thing, I canāt wait to be proven right when the likes of Fitzy and Labane come to the end, to be vindicated when they ask for a blessing
And itās a credit to our religion and our men of the cloth that they will treat these heathen bastards as children of our lord, the very same as they will any of us.
God bless them.
