A Real Good Friday!
Updated : Apr 10, 2009
VeryHappyPig like most, enjoys a tipple. Our sty, which is a lot tidier and stylish than most would anticipate, is often the venue for a bit of a hoofs up, and our water bowls brim with alcoholic beverages at least twice weekly.
Those familiar with our Piggy Pubs section will also be aware VeryHappy ig is as happy as one of his own in muck when frequenting a fine alcoholic selling establishment.
Today, however, VeryHappyPig like all of drinking Ireland finds itself in a drink dilemma. VeryHappyPig is a good Christian and will mark Good Friday in the appropriate manner, but we know that for most, today is more notable as one of just two days of the year when the bar pumps are corked.
Legislation put in pace in 1927 means no pub may serve a tipple to customers today much to the devastating disappointment of most of Very Happy Pigs readers.
Well VeryHappyPig vowed to be the bearer of all news good and we feel we wouldn’t be holding true to that promise if we didn’t advise our cheer(or in this case beer) chasing readers how to find a drink today.
Theaters and clubs are allowed sell alcohol by law as are hotels while some vehicles on the move are allowed sell drink.
So if you are in need board a plane, train or boat and large volumes of alcohol could be making you sick not motion. VeryHappyPig would like to stress a car does not count as one of those vehicles of motion and urges all its readers not to drink and drive.
If you book yourself into a hotel you can also consume your favorite tipple from the residence bar. Actors across Ireland will find themselves playing in front of their biggest crowds ever as theatres let their taps flow.
There are also some night clubs who will wait until the first minute of Saturday to open their doors for those suffering withdrawals after a drink free Friday evening.
If none of those appeal VeryHappyPig would like to invite you to its barn yard party. Three snorts and two and a half knocks is the secret code.
