I'm off to the pub...

[purrswhileheeats]

Afternoon off work today so I'd planned to have a couple of friends round (it's allowed here) for wine and crisps in the garden 🍷However Mother Nature has scuppered our plans so I've decided to 'go to the pub' instead The pub is in Liverpool or Dublin and has the following:

Open fire
Pool table
Jukebox
Free, unlimited brandy
Strapping but polite men

Who'd like to join me? I'll save you a seat

Bottle of merlot for me, please. God, it feels good to be out again!

When is the live band on?

@lovelydiscusfish I'll join you for a game of shit pool!

Oh yes please. I wouldn't mind if there was a pub quiz at some point in the evening, if anyone fancies joining my team? I am quite good at song lyrics and ok at medical questions, but rubbish at sports. I may heckle quiz master after a 'couple' of wines...

Oh sorry - bit late on the quiz front! I'll join the existing MN team if that's ok!

Oh I'll be there, save me a seat! Will have a pint of cider and black, just for old times sake and a packet of the bacon fries. Maybe some REM on the jukebox

Right then, I've put my selections on the juke box and there is enough credit for one more....first shout gets first dibs.

Count me in.

As Bierre Moretti is on draft in Liverpool I'll start off with a pint then move on to a vodka and tonic.
Happy to chat, join in the quiz or just listen to the music and have a dance.

Big, big sigh ..... those were the days

@dawnc27

please can i come? i dont drink anything other than diet coke but im happy to be designated driver. i also come bearing fags, can have normal or menthol and i have around 30 lighters scattered in the bottom of my hand bag

I’m a renowned lighter thief, so do you mind if I steal at least 15 of them off you during the course of the evening? Maybe don’t lend me any you have a particular sentimental attachment to......

Excellent! My 50p is already on the table. And shall we introduce a rule where we have to double-off the black to finish, just in case we are going too quickly and not pissing off the other people waiting to play sufficiently....

I’m excited about the live band too. Don’t give a toss what genre or quality they are - I will be dancing!

This sounds such a lovely pub. I'll come too, even though there's so many there now that it's quite crowded and I've not got seat and am elbowing my way to the bar. I'll buy a round, and then get drinks bought me back for the rest of the evening and chat to random people I've not meet before. I need this pub.

I am loving the sound of this pub. A large G+T for me please? Who feels like dancing?

It's a lovely pub, everyone is laughing and having fun.

The strapping guys have competition though - some city types in SUITS have just sauntered in...

Ooh that one over there in the bespoke suit looks a bit like John Hamm...or perhaps that’s the snakebite talking

The suits are all yours ladies - my eye is on the fella who has just come in in high vis (love a bit of high vis me) and work boots (love work boots, me) who has been labouring all day and thoroughly deserves a well-earned pint, or seven. “I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero till the end of the night......”

Come to think of it, I may pop that on the jukebox, when it’s free, and multitask playing pool shitly with dancing around the place looking like a total twat.....

I am completely buckled already, but did I mention I LOVE you guys. You are all my BEST FRIENDS.......

One double vodka with orange and a tall Darrin handsome man please. It’s been a long hard day

I’ll join the pub quiz. I know a little about a lot and a lot about nothing

I'm on my way! Can you order me a bowl of chips with some mayonnaise and a pint of scrumpy?

I'm going to get a packet of silk cut on my way. I don't really smoke but a fag with a friend in a pub garden would be living the dream tonight!

Any more room at the inn?

If so (I don't take a lot of room, at least early in the evening), me for the first bottle of sav' blanc, Kiwi if at all pos', and I'll shout everyone that wants them, nachos and buffalo skins.

80's on the jukebox fine by me, maybe a little bit of embarrassing 70's later in the evening?

Pint of drought Guinness and a packet of cheese and onion for me. By the time I'm on my third pint I'm afraid I will have started a conga line singing "We're having a gang bang, we're having a ball", so you will all probably be best avoiding me. I'm not usually like this, lockdown has broken me and made want to party like a wild thing.

We've got a plethora of hunks in the pub. Rugged farmer types, Donald Draper and dusty labourers. Poor Roger in his anorak doesn't stand a chance 😄

Is that it, is that all I'm getting? 🤣

I'm on my way; can everyone please give me a hug as I arrive? I'm very tactile and husband isn't so hugs are what I've missed most!

Actually those strapping men sound appealing!

You're welcome.
Oh and if anyone makes a move on the guy with the long black hair, slightly ripped jeans and baggy jumper...be warned. I'm on my second glass of Merlot and I don't take prisoners.
