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?

Oh - and I got some new DMs today so I expect I'll be hobbling home later as they always rub like fuck the first night!

I'll have a Cosmopolitan and some salt & vinegar chipsticks, please!

Me and the cat are ready to let rip what with Thursday being the new Friday..

Actually, best get some of those meaty stick things for the mog or he'll have my eyes out, stroppy greedy adorable bugger!

I remember 'cider and black' - used to sneak off out of the school production to the local pub (only on refreshments since I wasn't good enough to audition, apaz)

Should have got out the car and looked around for penniesGrin - too good and there were the little ones to look after and 'set an example to' Hmm

I remember going to a club in Dudley when I was 15, and walking home to Netherton at about 3 am, pissed as a newt, having to take my docs off because I'd got a blister the size of Wales on the bottom of my foot.

Good times, good times.

I used to go coin fishing in the car park, there was always plenty of change hidden in the gravel.

We used to get to sit in a car in the carpark on holiday and get lemonade and crisps. Bit boring though (apart from the crisps).

I would scorn them youngsters, but I am, in fact, typing this on a smart phone, and scanning through Netflix, somewhat disappointed at how few Marvel movies are on there right now.

I really should get my cherry docs on, a black velvet jacket from a charity shop, far too many bangles and some cheap and gritty eyeliner, drink a cider and black and try and impress the house band, tbh.

Kids today don't know what they're missing, with their playstations and their smartphones. I remember parties in pubs that were so thick with fag smoke your eyes would water

When I was a kid and my dad was still around, we would occasionally go to a pub. My parents would go inside, and my brother and I would have to sit outside on a bench. It's not a great memory because I was often cold, but it was the only time I ever got to eat prawn cocktail crisps which I thought were the food of the gods.

Marvellous. I'm afraid I have to insist on beermats, though. I've spent at least 15 imaginary minutes polishing the wood on the bar top.

Large G&T and a packet of crisps please.

And I'll sing along to Sunshine on Leith on the Juke box, because that has been going round my head since someone put it on one of the threads a couple of days ago Grin
