I'm always off Good Friday but I have to work this Saturday as a once off.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Bars can open in the north from 5 to 11. Usual opening on saturday but a 11 or 12 closing, normal hours on sunday I think. Only downer is offys closed on Sundays. Well...offically anyway.

Myself and a few of the lads are heading over to Barcelona for the long weekend - gonna see them at home to Osasuna.
 
Does anyone know what the buzz is with Good Friday over there? I assume drink isn't completely banned as it is here, but maybe certain places close early or just stay shut for the day?

Haha, no street party I'm afraid NR - don't think the locals would take too kindly to it. Contemplated doing that myself Seanie - need the leave for matches though.

No problems whatsoever to get a drink in Barca I'd say. Never heard of them closing for it. Good Friday is a bank holiday here too for some trades, yet all pubs are open as normal.

Tried to book lunch in a few restaurants to line the stomachs and a load of them are closed! Couldn’t believe it!

 

So a quick eddie rockets at 1230, and then cans and a party for the day before the big match in united park Smile
