Thank F%#k it's Saturday

What the Dickens happened to Friday nights? It used to be the big night out for lads shenanigans, and Saturday was saved for the trouble and strife, but this appears to be no longer the case. I fear Friday is yet another causality of the Modern World, as Saturdays have become just another ordinary work day for the great majority of us. A grand example was our Ides of March bender last weekend. There was plenty of enthusiasm, and we did have a pretty good turn out, but it would have been twice as popular if there weren't so many who had to graft the next day. Now there was a time, when we were all young bucks, that getting steaming drunk and going into work the next day proved to be no problem. But as we sail into our thirties and forties, our constitutions have slowly been eroded by past glories. Which begs the question, should our Benders now be scheduled for Saturdays? A simple solution, or so you would have thought, but guess what day we usually get dragged of to the in laws? That's right Sundays. Roast dinners with the outlaws are just about tolerable with a clear head, but lob a ten pint hang over into the equation, and yet another pickle rears it's head. But we are the Bender Squad, and our mission is, to well Bender I suppose. So going forward, we will probably see a move towards Saturdays as our day of worship. Excepting Good Friday, which is just peeking over the horizon. It would be rude not to, wouldn't it??
