So, has holiday time with the fam driven you to the bottle yet? Before you head out to happy hour, just remember that Christmas is no excuse for pub owners to mince words.
Just ask Finlay in Edinburgh, Scotland…
Or Ross in Wellington, New Zealand…
And for the rest of us…Happy Festivus, Troublemakers! May your airing of grievances be merrily aggressive-aggressive.

I’m sure more than a few of the family and friends are a bit irregular if they spend Christmas Day in a bar.
Or do they mean only people who eat the right amount of fiber?

Well, if you can’t go to the Cavern Club for Christmas, El Horno (the brothel around the corner) sounds like a nice substitute.
They even cleaned up the holiday Christmas slack for the occasion!

The term ‘Douchecanoe’ is yet to hit the Kiwi shores it seems.

“Merry Christmas to one and all” = “No room (for strangers) at the Inn”
Nothing passive-aggressive there, huh ?

So if I don’t poop on a daily basis, my irregularity will mean Sparky won’t let me in? Even for my nightly prune juice and vodka?
I guess he got tired of metamucil screwdrivers…

‘Twas Christams eve babe/
Locked in the drunk tank/
An old man said to me/
Won’t see another one/
And so we sang a song/
The rare old Mountain Dew/
I turned my face away/
And dreamed about you…

I’ll try paraphrasing:
And, in the original comment I put a sad face next to Kirsty MacColl
(RIP) and I said that no, really, you don’t need to post Shane MacGowan’s description of Kirsty…

Merry Christmas to everyone at PAN, unless you’re not a regular poster, someone who thumbs at least 5 comments per day, or the site administrator(who is a girl).
Love,
Adam

Are e regulars cyber-customers?
I guess they send them drinks on Facebook.

Someone mentioned people spending Christmas Day at a bar being irregular.
I’m thinking this is one of those pubs where the owner lives above it in a small apartment, so it’s easier to have friends and family hang out in the main pub area, and have dinner and things down there. Even if they don’t live above it, if you have a full size dining area at a pub/bar avaliable to use, why not have your family and friends over there rather than at home?

Hmmm
What do you mean come and get my refund on WEDNESDAY?
I thought nobody was here on Wednesdays?
I’m so confused…

Hmmm
Usual Christmas Rules
1. No stealing the baby Jesus.
2. The gift exchange price limit is $10. Fuck off with buying a $20 gift to make yourself look generous, and making the rest of us look like Scrooge McDuck.
3. Take you fucking shoes off.
Thank you

I foresee fights at the door over the word “regulars”.
We all know Norm Peterson (NORM!!) is a regular, but what about a guy who comes in every Wednesday after work, has a gin and tonic, and goes home?
Is he a regular customer?…or just a frequent flier?
Can he go inside? Is he turned out into the night? Can dude at least get a to-go plate?
Is there no room at the inn?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Who let the dogs out?
Who’s on First?
Where’s Waldo?
If a tree falls…
