Good Friday?

Today is Good Friday. I think this is the most inappropriately named day of the year.

Let’s take a look at the things that make this day so “good” in Ireland!

1. There is no racing on Good Friday, which is a pain. Not much betting happening and not as many phones ringing in the office. No big bets to be had (or laid), no gambling advice to be dished out. This betting blog is NOT amused.

2. All pubs and off-licences are closed in Ireland on good Friday, so no cheeky after-work pints or cans to be had by the Skip. What is this, 1900?

3. You are not allowed eat meat on Good Friday, so this means boring dinner to be had when I get back to my Granny’s. We’ll probably have to have fish or something. Thumbs down!

4. All Bookmakers are closed in Ireland on Good Friday, so even if you wanted to have a flutter or sniff out a little value on the one or two footie or rugby games that are on, you can’t even do that…

Dose this sound like a GOOD Friday to you? I would like to nominate it for the worst named day of the year.

El Cap-e-tan out.
