Anyone for a Liberation Pub?

So, I'm on my own for evening because, let's face it, Valentines Day is a bag o shite, and I thought I'd set up a nice open bar.

Any drink available, alcoholic or not, a full range of bar snacks, a decent jukebox and a friendly ambience. A golden banana sits atop a pile of weetabix in the corner, ready to be deployed at the first sign of shenanigans.

What'll it be?

Eh up women. On my own again, so I'm collecting empties, making sure the fridges are stocked and I've had the windows open to let in some Spring air.

Snakebite and black was half a lager & half a cider with a splash of blackcurrant cordial.. it was called Diesel when I worked at Butlins Grin

I’m here. I hope there’s a lock in.

Can I have a pint of proper bitter please? None of that sour tasting craft piss. Oh, and a bag of scratchings? The proper hard ones, not those weird soft ones.

Anybody fancy a game of pool? I’m quite good, so no hustling. I’ll just put my leather on this stool. It’s got my stuff in but I’ll trust you not to pinch it.

We need somet to sing to. I’m voting for The Smiths, because it’s strangely up lifting in its misery, or a bit of Thin Lizzy. Don’t mind what though, as long as it doesn’t involve a vocoder.

Can we have some nice blankets to keep our feet cosy and warm please?

Barley wine was my drink of choice.
Little bottle of strong beery stuff.
I was trying to impress everybody, with my - stamina ability to hold my drink (hic).

And it was always damp and chilly sitting in the pub garden.

Barley wine was my DM's drink. Gold label. When I phoned her I could always tell how many she had had. I can see her now, fag in one hand, glass in the other.

I'll bring some cherry gin (like slow gin but cherries) and some nuts.

Theakston's snakebite is an Executioner btw.

Melroses · 14/02/2019 23:21

That beats the bottle of sherry my ILs had for at least 10 years Grin

I remember lemon barley water. And my mum had a bottle of tonic wine she kept under the sink for years. I never knew why, as when she died and we cleared the house, I discovered it had never been opened.

Anyone remember barley wine?

Melroses · 14/02/2019 22:50

There was a version of Theakston's OP and T cider that was fairly impressive.

Ah yes, I think it was.

Snakebite was lager and cider?

Melroses · 14/02/2019 22:48

I'm not keen on those - I only like the crunchy bits - but I fully support your rights to eat them if you like them.

I have temporarily suspended crisp eating IRL because I haven't learned how to buy a big family bag and not eat the lot.

Cider and black is snakebite as far as I remember. I preferred it to a 'lager top' because I can't abide lager.

Why would it, Lang. I love pork scratchings, except the very occasional ones that break your teeth.

In fact, I don't really object to many foodstuffs except aubergines and scab sausage.

How does cider and black differ from snakebite and black? Can I have a lemon and lime and a packet of dry roast peanuts?

I’ve brought my own beermat from the last pub I visited.

userschmoozer · 14/02/2019 22:42

I'd wear a jacket with big pockets.

LangCleg · 14/02/2019 22:41

Would it be more heresy if I mentioned pig scrats?

(pork scratchings)

Melroses · 14/02/2019 22:38

I have a friend who works at a place where they mix the flavours for crisps. Strange job, but someone has to do it Grin

I think you can't really beat own brand cheap shite crisps. Less pissing about with new formulas and recipes.

Melroses · 14/02/2019 22:25

I used to like salt and vinegar chipsticks. I think they started putting too much vinegar flavouring in them and I moved onto hula hoops. I used to like the M&S ones - good value for money - but they don't seem to do them now. Just many, fancy flavours of ordinary crisps

LangCleg · 14/02/2019 22:22

Gin and bitter lemon, please!

If we're still going tomorrow, I'll make some chocolate caramel vodka.

(Psst. Guess what? I had toast and jam for breakfast this morning. Heresy! Don't tell anyone!)

Yeah, cider and black was what crusties drank way before they invented alcopops. Then it was all Mad Dog 2020.

I think I've actually still got a bit of a hangover from that.

Couldn't drink it now, far too bloody sweet. I need paint stripper dry now.
