I had the displeasure of doing sound in a venue for Arthur's Day a few years ago. The behaviour of people on this day is just incredible. I literally had women pinching my arse and, in one instance, full on sticking their hand down my trousers as I tried to work in already hot, overcrowded, and messy conditions.

Locally it's becoming increasingly known, colloquially at least, as Diagio day (the name of the company that produces Guinness) rather than giving it any sort of recognition that befits a day like St. Patrick's day or St. Stephen's Day. Anyone who ask's "What are you doing for Arthur's day?" is increasingly met with a response of "What are you talking about? Arthur's day is not an actual thing! Stop talking about it like it's anything more than a bare-faced marketing stunt!"

The streets run with piss, vomit and blood, and there are random acts of vandalism. Well done Guinness..
