I hope this email finds you well...  >:(

It's an email and I'm in an office in 2024! It's not a message delivered by a horseback rider during the smallpox pandemic!

Not being able to buy alcohol until 10.30am. Not even in a lush kinda way, but just not being able to buy bottles of wine for Christmas while I'm buying food for Christmas. Fuckin barbaric.

I give everyone the "I hope you're well", same effect and less ridiculous.

I second this and I work in a shop. Fairly silly you have to come back to the shop to get a few drinks. Once I forgot about the times on a bank holiday and brought the booze up to the checkout. I was 15 minutes before the the time and had to go wait in the car and come back in. Why is Ireland so retarded? Any other country and you can buy alcohol around the clock.

Try buying offo in Norway! It's open for two or three hours in the afternoon only. Insane.

The year Xmas Eve was a Sunday was a fucking killer. And led to a absolute surge at midday. Was chatting to a lad who worked in Lidl and they had to bring the second shift in earlier.

Just more restrictions but don't worry it's all for your own good. As bad as Ireland is in Ontario only two shops can sell alcohol with the exception of wine both Government run the LCBO and the Beer Store. Both only open 12-5 on Sundays and most of them close at 8 on other days.

They have in the last few years started letting supermarkets sell some cans but usually just the generic piss like Heineken, Budweiser etc.

Imagine not being able to go to your local shop and get any drink at all. Even emergency cans for an unexpected night out.


I am going to my parents for Christmas my Mother did the shopping online this week so I gave her my list and she wasn't able to order any of the drink I wanted due to the only delivery slot being available was 10am - 12. Away for EHG tonight and in Dublin for it tomorrow so I am sure by the time I get to Tesco what I want will be gone as that will be Sunday since you don't know where the cunts will have check points setup for Christmas and they will sting you for having a few the night before.


Putting up a christmas tree, pain in the hole.

Any word on the Chicken Roll situation?
