10 oh-so Irish reactions to Good Friday that have us in stitches
Good Friday is a funny auld day, between the lack of meat eating and the no-drinking rule.

4. Any excuse for a house sesh really.
As much as I hate religions telling us what to do… I'll miss the good Friday alcohol ban cause we basically had a national gaff party day.
