Three days to go till A+E will be filled with people enjoying the christmas break to much, nursing a black eye or broken nuckle.
Gerry
people should heed your signature
easier said than done
Drink in wit out.
Mind you our works do was last Friday and there were a few red faces about on Monday, and they are gonna do it all again on Friday, well a few of them refuse to drink again, curse those mobile phone cameras!!! :o :o
yeah I have a session planned with a few old ex-colleagues on Fri night in Dublin city centre
prob should go reasonably early, but easier said than done
Dublin city centre is a dangerous place all year round , but with the people that dont normally booze out on the prowl this time of year it is a minefield....
We're playing a gig in Lurgan on Black-eyed Friday. Should be interesting!!!!!
It's clean mad all over, not just Lurgan and Belfast. Down my way we call it Black Sheep friday though.
Is it really that bad though?
In our office we've had the Christmas do 2 weekends ago and a sort of bonus do last Friday. Think by Friday people just want the half day and get straight away home.
Good day for the lads.. the Pernod ladies will be out - as will the furry cheque books when they run out of money and need more drink!
When the boss lands to work on black eye friday morning with a boot full of buckfast and beer its hardly any wonder the lads are as full as a nuns teats by noon then its off to the bars for the real drinking - where the confrontations begin due to irregulars being out and about the same day not knowing pub ettiquette on black eye friday.
Rule of thumb is stick to your own bars and crowd, any lads with work clothes on...... leave them alone......y'hear
a glorious build up to the feast of the birth of the saviour of mankind........and it gives the priest a gap filler on christmas morning

Thats so true :D :D :D
Anybody that has never seen trouble on black-eye Friday must live in the city. There is no way I would go anywhere near my local on Friday. It is ok until about 6 in the evening but after that anything can happen.
There are a few rare creatures that appear on black-eye Friday that make it a particulary annoying today to have a beer.
The first is the dirty hallion. This guy has done a half days work on the site and has hit the pub without going home to change. He can normally be indentified by a pool of mortar at his feet, half a bag of cement in his hair and the remains of a fiiled soda on his chin.
Then there is the 'I don't want to talk about work' guy. His good intentions last about an hour before he starts complaining about how the building trade is slowing up and naming joiners who aren't worth a f**k.
The next kind is the Christmas drinker. This guy is usually married (and the wife never lets him out of the house) or has never went with a woman in his life (and his ma never lets him out of the house). This guy is also easy to spot. He will most likely have a side parting and have his shirt rammed into his loose fit jeans. He will be sloshed after 2 beer and spends his time drooling over any woman that comes into the bar, telling everybody what he wouldn't mind doing to her. If he breaks into song it will likely be the last record he bought, Hillbilly rock by the Woolpackers. He won't see 11pm.
The final guy to watch out for is the Psycho. The reason it is known as black-eye Friday. A real bomb scare. He will drink out of town because he will be barred from his local. He will also be built like a tank but have very little between the ears. He will be drinking 5 half un's for verybody elses pint. Do not look near this specimen as it will make him extremely paranoid and you don't want that because this guy farts intimidation. He will most likely have plugged someone by 9pm and find himself barred from yet another pub.
It may be possible that one person ticks all these boxes. I have never met on and I have no intention of meeting one which is why Friday nights entertainment will be provided by Xtravsion.
Lads i get the impression you lot are against the hard working guy with the cement boots and dirty cloths ::) I know 90% of the rows are with these guys but they are started with some shirt and tie p***k looking down their nose at them like they are a piece of dirt who then deserve a slap on the chaps.
If you go out on Friday and mind your own business and stay with your own crowd and don't insult anyone you will be fine ;)
And b4 you start i'm sitting with a shit and tie on ;)

I have nothing against the tradesman getting a work do but surely some of the hoors could go home for a wash beforehand.
I think the problem stems from the fact that they are all-male affairs. The mixture of beer and testosterone doesn't mix.
Sorry about the spelling there lads :D :D But you get my drift. Just don't be looking at them with their working gear on like they are tinkers and they will not bother you. ;)
i forgot twas black eye friday, anyway its the end of exams for my mate at UCD so me and my other mate are heading down on the absolute rip. shud be grand craic.
Did any body get in a fight? Tell us about it

Exactly. .

Why? To please the likes of you? What's it to you what someone wears to a pub?
Maybe they should go home and put on a shirt and tie and they can look like a ponce too.
Ah Gez lads. Black eye Friday is just a bit of criac.
I got a couple of hammerings from Lecale on Wednesday does that count
If things keep going the way they are it will soon be known as stab-eye friday. Saw a bunch or retards in the Moy kicking shit out of each other.

Lets hope that your spelling doesn't qualify you as a RETARD
might not be as many rows this year with so many work men laid off
I will be in the Welly Park tomorrow trying to avoid a black eye. . . . .
That's a challenge. Might head there to bate the lugs clane off you.
I'll be in Banbridge. It already sounds like a bad idea

That's a classic!
I could not have put that better myself, every village bar must be the same everywhere on black eye Friday. That will be the Mariners in Waterfoot later on today........

I dont mind gettin the lugs bate off me as long as you dont give me a black eye..............About 6 o clock i would think a toddler could give me a hiding.

Never approach people with chalk on their trousers (although under the bar reckons that it's not chalk) as they will start asking you your times tables, spellings and the names of different parts of an atom. They carry leather straps too.
These are just the type of girls I'm looking for
I've part of a black eye that i got last week.
It's yellow'd eye Friday for me tonight
It's that time of year again lads :)
Heading down to Belfast later with the OH where should we avoid?

Where i'm pinting ;)...only messin. I'm heading out here shortly in Belfast but im not sure either where to go and where to stay well clear off...
All of the main City Centre bars and hotels will be geared towards christmas parties and will be suitably staffed to cope with the crowds. My experience of Belfast on Black Eye Friday has always been positive, get yourself a good seat and enjoy your night!!
