Don’t worry, it’s not as ominous as it sounds.
A Galway pub is putting on a Valentine’s Day promotion with a twist next month, with a free drink on offer for punters looking to get over their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends on supposedly the most romantic day of the year.
Punters who buy a drink in McGettigan’s pub in Galway on Valentine’s Day will get a second drink free if they provide a photo of their ex-partner to bar staff, who will subsequently rip it up and throw it in the bin.

The promotion, titled ‘Shred your ex’, will run in the Eyre Square pub on Tuesday February 14, when it’s likely that bitter resentment, rather than love, will be in the air.
For some, the idea of handing a stranger a photo of their ex-girlfriend or boyfriend to immediately tear into pieces might be a little weird.
With no details about requirement of proof that the person in the photo is in fact your ex, however, we’re sure plenty will be seeking to exploit the promotion for the sake of a free pint.
For more information on the promotion closer to the date, check out McGettigan’s on Facebook.
