Irish lads tell a judge he’s off the Buckfast after ending up in court

It might be a good idea to ease off alright

It might be a good idea to ease off alright.

You know you’ve probably had enough when you start throwing chips at people getting into a car and shouting profanities in their general direction.

An Armagh man didn’t and continued to hurl abuse and fries around a street in Portadown despite being told to stop by police on the scene, according to the Portadown Times.

The guy was in court earlier this month to explain himself and it turns out Buckfast was to blame for the whole thing.

He told the court that he had changed his behaviour and stopped drinking Buckfast since the incident.

Despite the obvious remorse and abstinence, he was fined £250 for disorderly behaviour. Lesson learned.

 

Hat-tip to John McNally.
