arran I am bashing my head repeatedly against the bar at this point, but I'm sure I can do cocoa.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/10/2018 23:56

BrewBrewcocoa, lemsip .... is there any drink this pub doesn't stock?

arranfan · 02/10/2018 23:46

Very little now making sense to me. Maybe if the pub can rustle up a cocoa for me and I absorb the pleasant hubbub around me then I can feel some solidarity settling over me before I slip out and to my bed.

FloralBunting · 02/10/2018 23:11

I am on a late, flood-happy lingering period, I have a cold which means incessant sneezing, runny nose and chapped lips, bullshit at work, bullshit at home, and I've just done the grocery shop and put it all away while every other git played on their phone.

So I am eating peanuts and drinking wine and swearing lots and lots.

I’ll sprawl out on a sofa and drain the bottle of red I opened last night.

It’s been a right old day.

Heartened by Posie’s new billboard. Tired with life tonight, though.

TheTrickyWitch · 02/10/2018 21:35

I'll just sneak in to curl up on the sofa under a blanket with a lemsip.

Feeling the need for some quiet female solidarity in these turbulent times. But the new billboard is definitely most cheering Grin

arranfan · 02/10/2018 21:26

Popping in for perhaps a flavoured fizzy water as I need to carry on with work quite soon.

waves at HerRoyalFattyness and changing name to arranFatigue

Reaches down to stroke the pub dog.

Thanks for the drink and solidarity Thanks

SmellyHead · 02/10/2018 20:54

Posie's new billboard has cheered me up quite a bit :)

terryleather · 02/10/2018 20:33

I'll have a hot toddy as there's a nip in the air here.

It absolutely is exhausting, tiresome, infuriating and depressing in varying proportions depending on the day.

All the booze for all of us that need it and a couple of Churchill quotes:

When you're going through hell keep going

Never, never, never give up

Cheers all! Gin Wine

HerRoyalFattyness · 02/10/2018 20:29

Hello...can i pop in here?
Ive been learning so much from here lately.

VickyEadie · 02/10/2018 20:28

I'm still at my Dad's. He's got live football on again (I like live football, but it's on so LOUD). I want to go home.

bluetitsaretits · 02/10/2018 20:26

GinGin for barracker and smellyhead
It's all so exhausting isn't it.

SmellyHead · 02/10/2018 19:42

My resilience feels low today too, Barraker. I'm just going to sip a vodka tonic quietly. Maybe I'll perk up in a bit.

I feel like it's an uphill struggle because the bbc, MPs, nhs and so on all seem so deliberately obtuse about it all.

Barracker · 02/10/2018 19:36

I hardly ever pop in here, even though it seems so nice.

But I really, really need to just have a huge gin and to cry into it. The world is just a smidge past my craziness tolerance level today.

Hope noone minds.

Womaningreen · 02/10/2018 10:25

Good card, I would like that for my tiny kitchen, where the alcohol looks a bit....like it dominates the tiny counter!

DuggeesWoggle · 02/10/2018 09:55

Although I've just noticed the use of pink nail polish to show that it's a woman's hand Hmm

DuggeesWoggle · 02/10/2018 09:48

Saw this card (bought it for a friend) and it made me think of you guys. Plenty of stuff drinks needed this last week or so!

Love a bit of Shake it off Womaningreen

Happy memories of dancing around the kitchen to that tune to make baby DS laugh when I was on Mat leave!

QuentinWinters · 02/10/2018 07:32

Just popping in for a swift one as I was looking for somewhere to vent and to avoid just posting a simple "ODFOD" elsewhere (that's an acronym for those who've been around a while probably!).

Yay! That's the point of the pub!

Womaningreen · 02/10/2018 05:56

You need to shake it off? I'm always happy to listen to Taylor Swift

FloralBunting · 01/10/2018 23:57

Ah, sweet memories of going to sleep in crappy student digs next to a pub, and the sound of the music throbbing through the wall.

arranfan · 01/10/2018 23:52

Seriously, don't worry on my account, the bass line will just sound like a soothing heartbeat and lull me into deeper slumber.

ErrolTheDragon · 01/10/2018 23:42

I think the pub music is 'silent disco' so we don't inflict unwanted music on each other. Except for the odd classic which everyone should enjoy like R.E.S.P.E.C.T

ErrolTheDragon · 01/10/2018 23:39

Brewand whoever's on the comfy sofa budge up for floral.
