One an only. Anybody know the name of the bar in Star Wars? That's pretty rough.
What's the last pub you were in? Page 8
Mos Eisley Cantina?

Take your own book to the pub, I do.

Sometimes that's part of the fun. People don't talk in to each other in coffee shops.

I liked Bob.
I've got a very nice Ben/pub local newspaper article on my desk at the minute. I'll have to scan it up over the weekend.

I love it when you talk Tattooie to me. 
Bob was amazing.

If not one stranger ever tried to start a stilted uncomfortable 'friendly' conversation with me again as long as I lived, I would be a happy girl.

Aww, but sometimes that's how things happen. And if it doesn't, you sometimes have some funny conversations. I can still quote some of the weird things completes strangers have said - and it's all good material.
I like conversations with strangers. I think I would've given my paper round up if I wasn't always guaranteed some nice person asking me how I am.
It's fine when it goes well. But the possibility of an awkward conversation makes it not worth the risk.
*shudder*
I don't like pubs too. Although there is a nice one by a canal we go to on Sundays sometimes and have a pub lunch.

That's half the fun. I met one seemingly pleasant old lady who told me I looked like her when she was young in the 30s and 40s. Fair enough. But then she started telling me how she grew up in Germany and spent the summers in the Black Forest and how it wasn't so bad under Mr Hitler and in fact he was quite right about a number of things... 
I remember someone else spurting on about Barney Rubble having no eyes and it's a quote that's stayed with me for a long time.

That and the money.

Maybe he was. Have you studied the intricacies of National Socialist policy in the mid-1930s?
