10 things you’ll hear Irish people say on Good Friday

Eric Lalor

Good Friday is upon us and we list some of the things you are most likely to hear on this, the oddest of days.

1. ‘What’s good about Good Friday?’

Fair point, well made

2. ‘Is a sausage considered meat?’

This is a very grey area, with the emphasis on grey

sausage

3. ‘How is it a Bank Holiday in England and yet here I am in work?’

Easily one of the biggest mysteries in the known universe. Seriously, how did this happen?

4. ‘I am definitely organising a house party next year’

You’ve said this every year since 1999

5. ‘I might go for a coffee, see if I can get buzzed that way’

Desperate times etc…

6. ‘Does anyone know of ways to jazz up Donegal Catch?’

If you do go with the whole ‘not eating meat’ thing, your limited culinary skills may be tested.

7. ‘Jesus, the Late Late Show is brutal these days’

If you are stuck in and are watching the show for the first time in a while, this is the only acceptable reaction.

8. ‘Anyone up for getting the train to Cork?’

Desperate times etc… part II

9. ‘I always fancied visiting Fishguard’

Desperate times etc… part III

Fishguard

10. ‘Is it midnight yet?’
