Does anyone on here still par take in the good old tradition of Sunday drinking ?
regular as clock work me in my local 12- 3.30 every week with the same lads having the same craic the landlord even brings over sausage rolls and roast potatoes to keep us drinking , all followed by a bottle of red wine for Sunday lunch and in bed for 9pm
talking to a few lads at work and none of them seem to do this am I a dinosaur or are these lads under the thumb ? |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

If I could afford it, I'd still be doing it.
Before kids, and as a result of my missus' nursing shifts, I was always at the boozer on a Sunday. Get in for about 1200, watch the football, eat, more football, drag myself home by the lips, fall through the front door shouting 'Darling! I've liquidised my assets!', realise she's not back, fall asleep on stairs, wake up as my wife does her best Nora Batty impersonation and mutters something about her mother being right about me.
Great days. |  |

Sounds like a perfect Sunday to me. Financial constraints the only issue (fvcking skint) [Post edited 12 Feb 2018 16:58]

I love it, but I'm like vaguely senior at work now, and having 20% of me week being me unable to function (unless it's a company wide malaise) isn't really acceptable any more |  | | |

Ah, god be praised the old Sunday drinking hours. 12 - 2pm, every fcucker you knew from the area in for a bragging session of the day before away game naughty up north and the result, or lack of, bird pulling afterwards. Always there as the lock was turned, lager, pool and often the best laugh of the week. |  |

Did it yesterday for the first time in years. Helped train a gaelic football team in the morning, got home, put away the gear, strolled into town and had a stool under me and a pint in front of me for 2.00pm. Stayed out all day and did a five-pub crawl.
I've got five-a-side in an hour and I want to cry/die. |  |

used to go with me dad, god bless him. Our one day of the week, arrive at 12, play darts for an hour or so and then switch to playing nap. Local pub where the landlord didn't mind the kids were a shade over 15. Never any trouble apart from the few occasions the goat was let loose in the pub. Try to be home for the Big Match with Brian Moore around 2.30ish.
Seems decades ago. probably was. |  |

Go up the local club every so often on a Sunday afternoon. Sky tv, pool, darts, pints under £3, oh and not forgetting the meat raffle. Love it  |  |

Used to sit down for 3-4 pints after finishing the kids' training. Home for a roast with a few glasses of red, then off to bed of a couple of hours. Successfully made it to 18 stones, now on a long-term diet. Looking forward to getting back to it. |  | | |

I love a Sunday sesh.
But does anyone else get the beer demons Sunday night (sleeplessness / sweats / anxiety) ?
Unique to Sunday nights for some reason. |  | | |

What a thread!
Sunday morning football, in the boozer for 12:00. Roast spuds, Ruddles County, a few Embassy Number 1. Darts (killer). Dinner for 3.00. Kip. Out for the Sunday disco/karaoke/£1 in juke box. Occasional snog, kebab. Right as rain on the the Monday am.
Different, wonderful times. Long gone. |  |

In my raving days the Sunday come down session in a the pub was almost my favourite part of the weekend. To begin with there was no way you were going to pull through. Then around the second pint a glimmer of hope would appear. By four pints the magic begins to happen and suddenly it's still the weekend and we're all going to live forever. |  | | |

If I was a journo snooping around for some dirt on the OP, I could quote him word-for-word...
"...all followed by a bottle of red wine for Sunday lunch and in bed for 9pm
talking to a few lads..."

Used to love a Sunday session, 12ish for a reviver with Country singer starting about 2pm and everyone coming and going, all ages mixing but pub emptying at 5 and down to the die hards for the night shift.
The whole thing has changed now but I work most Sundays and probably the most jealous I get is seeing/hearing of these seshs! |  | | |

Sunday sessions were always a great laugh. The normal Sunday topic was about the pub/club the night before. The old munter you or one of the others got hold of. The pìss taking was first class too.
They were the days. |  | | |

Yep happens to yours truly Baz , beer sweats are a killer its tempting after an all dayer to go to bed at 8pm but you have to fight it or carry on drinking past 9 pm otherwise you have had it
your right its only Sunday you get this perhaps its your sub consciousness telling you that what your doing is wrong and that your going to wake up feeling like you have gone 10 rounds with frank Bruno , also farting like a trooper doesn't help matters | |

We still have fantastic Sunday sessions at our local cricket club in Hillingdon - the place is usually packed for the football and empties around 6.30. Don't do it too much any more as it's my favourite day at home. |  |

I assume this is only possible for single/separated/divorced men, or married men with kids over 16 who want to avoid their wives. |  |

Definitely in the minority here I feel, up until I was around 22-23 I used to go to pubs with live music every Friday, Saturday and twice on a Sunday (The Hambrough Tavern on the Uxbridge Road Southall before it got burned down) but hated using the pub part of said establishments due to the heavy pallor of smoke in there. I've always hated smoking and the associated smell so when the laws changed to forbid smoking inside I was already lost to the lure of pub culture. I'll occasionally meet a couple of QPR supporters in the Crown & Sceptre before a game and, when I use to travel to away games with them, we'd stop in a pub/ eaterie and have a pint or two with them but that is it. My alcohol intake these days is confined to a pint or two of Crafty Hen spread over a week occasionally changed out for a bottle of Yellowtail Shiraz drunk over 2-3 days. I suppose I am just not a big fan, or consumer, of alcohol... there have have been a couple of memorable occasions when this wasn't the truth, notably my 40th birthday which resulted in mild alcoholic poisoning and have never drunk whisk(e)y since.
I would like think there were at least a few more like me but I won't be holding my breath LOL. |  |

Far from it. It used to leave me scratching my head, but my first girlfriends father used to be in the Crown religiously in Sipson every Sunday and only come home for his roast after 6 or 7 pints. Then get up the next day and drive a lorry for Cape Boards. Asbestos boards for building. He had four kids. Always used to wonder how he got away with it. Joined him a couple of Sundays but couldn't keep up lol. |  | | |

Exactly, how do you get away with it if you have a young family?? | |

Sundays were the business in your mid 20's........ quite often followed by the Monday Club.
As others have said in the "season" days these were mainly started by a game mid morning / early afternoon and then into the bar of whichever pub was sponsoring the team.
Sunday Sky games were religiously followed and interest added to by the introduction of telephone betting. There was one game where Man Utd were playing Bradford and we all had Scholes at 11/1 to score the first goal. An absolutely legendary sesh followed thereon whereby one of our number ended up being picked up by the Old Bill and taken to Ealing nick to sleep it off as he could hardly walk
In the summer months when it was all about the raving I used to love rinsing the last bit of the weekend out, sometimes with a bifta in the park etc.
Then about 6.00pm it would be into the battle cruiser for a few calming lagers
As for now.... Christ I think it would kill me and I rarely manage to make work the next day if I've had more than 3 or 4 pints.

ive had to calm it down Lblock , as Saturdays used to be a heavy all day session as well
ive put on a ton of weight and the Mrs has said pick either sat or Sunday so Sunday it now is ,
a few weeks back when it snowed the pub was packed to the rafters all of the fellas were calling Monday off work so everyone got on it , the table we were on all had Everton to draw with Liverpool at 10-1so we all had a tenner each needless to say it was a heavy old night there after and we celebrated rooneys penalty like zamoras last minute winner
its not the drinking per say that I enjoy as I never drink at home and I cant say I enjoy the taste but its the endless craic you have , the meat raffles, the football scratch cards the £1 in the pot to guess the 1st goal scorer of the TV game the sense that you should be at home doing something constructive but don't want to be | |

I'm a big fan of what everyone in Berlin does on Sunday. Pretty much every restaurant and cafe puts on a spread of pasta, and ham and cheese and you pay like 10 euro to sit there and eat and drink coffee until you're ready to get back on it | | | |
