PIC: This Westmeath chipper’s Christmas party must have got very out of hand

"Wrote off..."

It's not quite December but Christmas party season is already upon us. Good luck finding a seat in a pub, any pub, before New Year's Day folks and please ensure you're wearing shades at all times - those Christmas jumpers have been known to cause blindness. Anyway, to Moate in County Westmeath, where JOE reader Dermot Walshe came across the following sign on the door of The Valley take-away. It must have been one hell of a session the night before. The saddest thing is that this fine establishment is clearly the first stop in Moate for other weary, hungover souls. (As an aside, wonder if this will work after the JOE Christmas party...) Thanks to Dermot Walshe for this.  Got a story for JOE? Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102 or mail editorial@JOE.ie.
