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!

Thank you raise 🥂

Evening everyone. Delighted to read the kind comments from "the other side" - it's a bit like Christmas Eve 1914, tonight the cannons are silenced and we can all play football together in no-man's land. Football

Until someone scores a goal, an own goal, or the ball gets lost I guess Glitterball

Ive been a long time lurker in the Brexit Arms - so thought I’d pop my head in and say hi.

Its been an absolute joy observing the debates, light hearted banter and terrific meme’s over the last few months. Also great to see Bear back in the pub today.

Any chance of a strong whiskey to settle the nerves - 1h to go. Confused

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 21:04

Thanks greenish!!! 😍

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 12/12/2019 21:04

Yes limer. A no man's land. Smile

A double 🥃 🥃 on me 😉

XingMing · 12/12/2019 21:05

Epic, I am too old to live in sand with mozzies, so it would be a response to a catastrophic result. I want a moderatable result.

Limer · 12/12/2019 21:05

Epic Already had half a bottle of wine, so I'll stick to that, thanks. Don't suppose there's any mulled wine? Some warm mince pies with brandy cream would go down a treat Grin

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 21:05

Yay! Welcome Spadeo.......a strong whiskey coming up

Erm....can you do your own drink emoji please, I'm missing a square bracket so can't do it? (this is so embarrassing :( )

🍷 all & big kisses to all new patrons!

I've got the tree up - rest of decorations can wait til Saturday I think

House is a tip & I'm on pins about the result 😩😩😩

There'll be no gloating from me if Tory majority, just relief that Brexit will happen finally & that Corbyn will be finished for good

That said, I'm really fearful of Corbyn getting a win or a hung parliament
I am not confident at all of a Tory majority 😟

Also likewise to BatSegundo 🦇 🦇

Songsofexperience · 12/12/2019 21:09

I'd love a mulled wine please!

Had a small but significant success at work today and managed to finally get DD into the school we wanted. I'm grateful and just want to celebrate!

“Epic Already had half a bottle of wine,”

I’m already on the last glass of the bottle...

That’s how anxious I am. So apols in advance for any spag issues... 😂

All of this. Shitting breeze blocks.

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 21:11

Here you go Songs....one mulled wine. Congratulations on the school....you must be very relieved.

Great news! We can all drink to that! 🥂

Songsofexperience · 12/12/2019 21:12

Someone mentioned the Christmas truce earlier. That story is special to me as I had a great grand father on both sides of the trenches at exactly that time. I like to think they did play together...
I just feel thankful we're not in a country actually at war.

Bearbehind · 12/12/2019 21:12

Thanks spadeo 🥂

GreenishMe · 12/12/2019 21:13

Bearbehind · 12/12/2019 21:14

The I’m a celebrity coming out show is a good distraction - I can marvel at how irritating Chloe Madely is and I forget all about the GE!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 12/12/2019 21:15

“I just feel thankful we're not in a country actually at war.”

Agreed, 🕊🙂 I worry what will come of all this awful division though. 😞 Let’s hope the history books don’t have anything awful to tell us.
