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

@SmidgenofaPigeon

I want a proper boozer with a funny swirly carpet that was laid in 1973. And scampi fries. Anyone for a game of darts?

I’ll have a game if darts with you! I used to be pretty good... I’ll pass on the scampi fries if you don’t mind but I’ll grab a packet of pork scratchings....

@LadyDanburysCane brilliant. I used to be pretty good also, I was in a ladies dart’s team in South Korea but that was a decade ago so I’m going to be rusty now (and drunk)

Room for a late joiner? I'll start with a pint of strongbow and black and...Sambuca all round!! Any men in here who think they're god's gift and are total fuckboys? That appears to be my type these days 😃 I also have rollies (menthol) if anyone wants to join me for a cigarette outside.

I might neck the first two pints then move on to rum so I catch up

Oooh bottle of white wine please. . A bag of Tayto. And could we clear a little corner for dancing. .

I’ll have a very large vodka and a Diet Coke please. I prefer caffeine free though which is impossible to buy in pubs (one upside of home drinking I suppose!).
You can have all the men and put whatever music you like on, I’m just happy to be out!!

I’ve got a thumping hangover today (seriously - feels terminal); my mouth tastes like I smoked 60000 cartons of fags last night; I’m gonna be late to work and almost certainly get fired; and does anyone remember the name of the man in high vis who I have just left comatose in my bed and who will probably have robbed me by the time I get home? Did he even have a name? I tried to work it out by reading his tattoos, but it was unclear.

CRACKING night, ladies - when can we do it again?

can someone tell me how I got home last night? and how I got these carpet burns?

actually, tell me in a miniute, I have to rush to the loo

Good (?) morning everyone! Cracking night last night! Alta seltzer seems to have worked its magic so I am getting the fry sorted. I’ve got bacon, eggs, sausages, black pudding, mushrooms and beans - firm an orderly queue please. If someone could start pitting that bread into the toaster..... and the marmalade is in the cupboard next to the fridge.....

@trappedsincesundaymorn

There are 2 ThrowingAShellstrop.

My goodness! Aren’t we the lucky ones?!

Did we ever leave the pub or did the lock-in go on until morning? If we’re still here then I’m up for cooking breakfast in the pub kitchen. If somebody could start putting together the hair of the dogs that’s be great.

Also, can we wheel in an old upright piano for a sing song tonight?

His name began with a J. Or G maybe. That sort of area.

Berocca for me.

Oh I'm never drinking again....well until next time . Cracking night though. apart from my arms are aching. I was dancing and did the whole "arms in the air like you just don't care" thing wasn't I?? I hope no one filmed it...I'm not ready to be a meme just yet.

Bit of a head there, trapped?

Anyone up for another round? Sav blanc at the ready. . . (I'm not smoking tonight though - why did I do it?! I always end up praying to the great white porcelain God, if I smoke and drink. . .)

Come on ladies your hangovers must have eased by now. Channel your student days and get back on the horse. I was going to be classy and join the Sancerre and olives table, but actually if everyone’s smoking again (god I miss the noughties) then I’ll bring some B&H and have a bottle of Corona (yeah sorry, but I’m not adding to the woes of the last year by never drinking my favourite beer again, so deal with it).

Anyone else think they are still drunk from last night? @MrsTerryPratchett you were right, his name did begin with a letter. But whoops, have forgotten it again. Oh well. He’s still here, just waking up. Just in time. Game on, girls......

(Please can somebody do some magic spell so that this can actually all be true?)

Let me in... @AlwaysMoreCoffee was telling me what a brilliant night they had at a boozer... I think I’ll have half a cider and hopefully coz it sounds like a perfect old fashioned place they ll have golden wonder cheese an onion or salt an vinegar crisps? If not just some dry roasted please?

I’ve lined up my 50ps on the pool table, I’m sure one of you will finish your fags an be over in a second ... trying to see you all through the smoke haze....

I'm lining up the shots at the bar, let's start as we mean to go on!

Mine's a tequila

Bloody hell everyone - popped in a couple of evenings ago and don’t know what happened. Woken up on surprisingly comfy sofa by the fire with a hot toddy - thank you whoever brought that - and still clutching my pool cue. No idea who won. Hmmm. Wfh means I’ll not yet have been missed from work - god knows where dp thinks I am. Might just order some breakfast and watch that nice big screen for a bit. Çan see several of us took advantage of this long lock-in. What a boozer.

Late to the party but I have just got to work and decided that day drinking is a much better use of my time today.

So here I am.

Looooooooove Day Drinking, it's my fave.

I can't believe I missed a night out to the pub, it sounds like it was a blast. Absolutely gutted

Me too, but then no one invited me.

You can come with me to spoonies if you like, I’m having the full breakfast and washing it down with a pint, because I can!

Well I had a wonderful evening Felt a bit rough in the morning but Roger the badger brought me a strong black coffee & bacon butty in bed

Tequila already MrsT? Bad day at the office?!

I'm boring me, I'll stick to the wine. (And never, ever, EVER shall Tequila and I mix again. . . shudders . . .)
