Culture Pub(lic house)

Salut lecteur !

Le lobby de l'alcool, dans ce pays, c'est vraiment quelque chose. Et d'habitude je serais la première à le critiquer, vu son omniprésence et l'état pitoyable des irlandais dans la rue le soir.

Mais cette fois je trouve la pub franchement bien foutue, et surtout très réaliste. En quelques phrases, le lobby des pubs a réussi à nous retranscrire cette atmosphère si irlandaise, chaque mot fait référence, pudiquement, aux genres de scènes auxquelles on assiste ou prend part au pub.
Ça rappellera sans doute des souvenirs à certains...

Tu peux l'écouter ici :
Pub radio Friday Nights

Et je la retranscris pour ceux qui ont du mal avec l'accent irlandais -

Come 4.30 on a Friday, one question preoccupies office workers the country over: "Are you going to the pub?"

You never need ask which pub, because it's your Friday night pub and everyone knows it - except for management, which is good, because things need to be said that, bless them, they shouldn't hear.

See, as the evening wears on and ties are loosened, followed by tongues, and eventually by morals, one by one every grievance is aired.
From Donall's annoying habits of saying "vis-à-vis" in relation to all the time, to Christine's weirdly tiny hands, here in the safe environment of the pub, opinions can be uttered, that will get you all fired if it was Monday and then the economy would COLLAPSE.

See ? These nights are vital to the continued prosperity of the nation, so when asked if you're going to the pub this Friday, it's your patriotic duty to say YES!

And if you don't go, who do you think they're going to talk about?

Find the right pub, and any night is an occasion. Brought to you by the LVA. Always drink sensibly.
