Pubs in Dublin are open on Sundays, what else is there to do before and
after mass eh? But you can't smoke a cigarillo (or anything else).

Convenience is always relative. The Okazaki City library is open all
weekend, and closes on Mondays. A few years ago such inconvenience used
to really aggravate because for this particular taxpayer Monday was my
only day off. It was the only place in town where I could get the
cricket results (they had a subscription to one of the eiji shimbun
thingees).
