Arthur's Day

Post by TheManFromFerbane »

Just wondering, is anyone paying any attention to this at all??

I'm a slave to the brand so I'll be there at 17:59 in my nearest pub ready to toast Arthur!! :D

I believe there is a petition out there to make it a national holiday. I think there's a few people remarking on it all right. I'd say Galway could get busy this evening around 5.45pm too....

I have a bloody Inter Firms final to play in at 6:30!
It'll have to be a sneaky pint just before the warm up for me.
