You get in to do your shopping early in the morning to beat the crowds but it's all pointless, you have to come back to face the mayhem later in the day anyway because you're not allowed buy any flipping drink.
Flip off whoever came up with the law originally (VFI had a lot to do with it I would guess). When did you ever see hordes of chronic alcoholics descending on shops to stock up on booze first thing in the morning before the law was in place?
Ah jaysus Butty, would you not have been on the ball the last couple of days or weeks and stocked up on the goodies without leaving it til the madness of xmas eve?
I had to go out yesterday and the day before, but I'm not going near a shop today. whatever I have in at the minute, is what i'll be sticking with.
I just had to get the bird and a few bits earlier and it wasn't really too bad. I think it was way crazier yesterday, and generally today it was a vibe ofpeace and goodwill, people letting other people go ahead of them at the tills and letting people away at junctions an the like of that.
I also saw a little girl do an impromptu jig on the street from excitement which made me happy.
That sprout riot story must be a joke That makes me think of the scene in Father Ted where Mrs Doyle and her friend are battering each over who will pay for the lunch
