Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

I really don’t understand those who are actively hoping for a hung parliament

WTF will that achieve?

I know it’s because they know Corbyn is not capable of getting a majority but it would get us nowhere - yet again

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 20:41

Raiseaglass wine and tapas on the bar for you....sorry for the delay, I had to cook the Spanish omelette to order.

Can you do your own wine emoji please....I haven't got any.

Just ... on tenterhooks.

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 20:42

I must say what a wonderful atmosphere there is in here tonight. Let's light a candle for us all Grin

Yes it agree its awful phrase.

Evening Bear, I know....I don't think they can have thought it through properly. Be careful what you wish for, I say.

Spanish omelette, yummy 🍷🍸🍸🍾🍾🍾🍾 how long have we waited brexit armers!! How long!!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 20:44

Thanks to our pleasant visitors for offering the 🕊 very much appreciated and kind, I wouldn’t gloat. It’s not certain at all either way and EVERYONE is anxious, whatever the side, we will obviously discuss it and digest it, if it goes our way, we will of course be pleased (opposite if it doesn’t) but I can’t imagine a single one of us here, feeling the need to go and rub it in with anyone licking their wounds. We will of course stay in our lane and I do hope that will be rightly reciprocated if things are reveresed.

Thank you again. Flowers 🕊

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 20:46

Bear, welcome back, what are you having, this one is on me.

Several years of rubbing along in the arms...

Let's all raise a glass to freedom and think of all those in countries where they are denied this 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 20:46

“I really don’t understand those who are actively hoping for a hung parliament”

I agree, it just seems like opting everyone in for self harm tbh. No logic. It’s that stasis which fucked our business and it will happen to many more if there is a hung parliament. Tbh, if Labour must win (😞) , I would rather it were by a majority. Same goes for Tory.

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 20:46

but I can’t imagine a single one of us here, feeling the need to go and rub it in with anyone licking their wounds

Exactly Epic. I get why people need to do that.

It is democracy, where every vote represents a person's hopes and dreams.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 20:47

“Spanish omelette, yummy 🍷🍸🍸🍾🍾🍾🍾 how long have we waited brexit armers!! How long!!”

Too bloody long! 🙏 🍷

A Prosecco for me please raise

There’s a lot of NC in this place - I know I must know you and the landlady but I’m not sure who you were 😂

Twattage13 · 12/12/2019 20:48

Evening all - am back from slap up dinner. Am stuffed and absolutely shattered now - think I've been running on adrenalin the last couple of days with nerves / work. I shall try to stay awake for 10pm - if I'm not around can someone please take over the landladying...I have to work tomorrow and fear I may be asleep before the end of my stint.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 20:49

“It is democracy, where every vote represents a person's hopes and dreams.”

This, whatever the side, thank you for getting out there and using your voice. It’s all any of us have.

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 20:49

Oh fgs.....I DON'T get why people need to to do it

Indeed, Raise, we are fortunate to able to piss and moan and hope out loud like this!

BatSegundo · 12/12/2019 20:51

Bear part of me hopes for a hung parliament as I don't like Corbyn or Johnson and we might get some better leaders. But then I feel guilty as I know that the instability is bad for so many Sad Definitely time for a Wine I think.

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 20:52

Hi Twattage, it's been a long day already hasn't it? Good meal?

OP posts:
XingMing · 12/12/2019 20:52

if Corbyn wins, we shall probably just walk away quietly. And take any money with us. Quickly.

Bearbehind · 12/12/2019 20:53

bat I hate them both but we need to move on and for one party or the other to just fucking get on with everything

A hung parliament would be even worse than a Labour majority - and that’s saying something!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 20:54

“if Corbyn wins, we shall probably just walk away quietly. And take any money with us. Quickly.”

To another country... 😬😂

Twattage13 · 12/12/2019 20:54

Evening Greenish yes awesome thank you. We had my company christmas do for me and the husband (paid for by me as director of my Ltd company with one employee). Really good restaurant down the road - am so stuffed now...attempting to revive myself (maybe I should have a coffee). I managed not to think about politics for a good 2 1/2 hours!

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 20:54

Bear all I can say is, I am not surfer jet but I hope she's in here.

BOTTLEof finest prosecco for Bear please Grin
