Man Arrives At Pub To Find IT Department Already On The Rums

The Advocate arrived at Jack Duggans in the Old City this afternoon to find this masthead's entire IT department already there and already on the rums.

It can be revealed that the department lead Paddy Greyson quickly realised the Microsoft outage around the world was not going to resolve itself before lunch, so he took the team to Duggans for a nice meal and maybe one pint each.

They never came back.

As the editorial team runs on Linux, using restored early L-series Lenovo Thinkpads, we have been immune to the affects of this technocrisis.

The editorial team left for Duggans at 5pm, hoping to catch some cricket before being recalled home at some point. The Poms are making sure everyone's showered and changed before dark.

Aside from that, the IT boys have been here so long they've grown tired of the glistening, ice-cold lager and have already move onto the rums. It's not even dark and these boys don't get out much, so hopefully they had something hearty for lunch.

More to come.
