Pub - Who can still afford it? Page 5

Quote: Lee Henman @ August 16 2009, 1:59 AM BST

When I was younger and REALLY skint I used to smuggle a few cans into my local and head straight for the gents, where I'd hide the beer in the toilet cistern. (Keeps it cool). Then I'd buy one pint from the bar and simply top up from the bog when the glass was low.

The shame.

That is grim beyond all human comprehension.

Varies but usually beer.

I also like alcopops, decent whiskey and cocktails.

Wine occaisonal, God pretty much everything.

I imagine that you can handle a good half pint of bleach without so much as a wet fart.

What the heck kind of pub have you booked for the meetup?

I did have a bit of a rep as a student boozer. I believe I'm the only person to ever down a Pantagalactic Gargle Blaster in one and live.

Who the f**k wants to go to the pub every weekend anyway? Staying in is way better. Indoors is great. There are either no people or people you've chosen to be with (generally). And telly. Telly that you can watch by yourself with adequate volume and good distance from the screen. Going out sucks the big one.

I've thought and I'm not going again until the turn of the New Year and that will get my cash up (I'll only be going in to watch United). This will get me on track financially and I will be able to fund a trip to Auschwitz where I'm going to in February.

Yea it's crazy expensive here too in Ottawa.
I miss Northern Ontario where it was less than 10 buck for a pitcher of beer.

And if you want that full weekend out feeling:
Every time you want a can of tasteless piss lager queue up in your kitchen for 15 minutes and place £3 in a box.

Record loads of people talking bollocks mix them and turn it up at full volume.

If you're feeling really adventurous get a friend to read out Ok magazine to replicate the tedium of having to talk to the friend of the bird your mate is chatting up before excusing yourself. Only this way you don't have to wait for a cab or bus as you are already at home with some decent booze, weed and DVDs.

It's always very cheap out your way. I remember going to Nottingham and thinking "£2.50 at the most for a pint?!".

Lets put it this way, I turn my nose up at a pint over £2.50 most of the time I can shop around pubs and find better offers, I must admit I tend to drink more spirits now, they do better deals and I don't feel as bloated.

My goodness, there are some anti-social miserable crap arses around. If you're spending your evening penny pinching in a Weatherspoons, then you deserve all the tedium and pain that's associated with such an endeavour.

Personally speaking, when I can afford the pub, the night usually turns into some sort of mad adventure, but then again, that might be the company I keep.

I'm sure you'll all have your party trousers on for the BCG Meet Up though.

I have a mate who's like that, we'll go for a quiet few and end up doing parkore* at 1 in the morning with a kebab.

And for your information our wetherspoons has a good vibe...

Sort of. Me and a mate of mine studied History, so we are going on a tour of Berlin and Krakow where Auschwitz is situated. Coincidence I am writing this now because this is my 1939th post, 1939 being a big year for Hitler.

You know something? This is going to sound really bad and will make me look like a slut or something but I don't think looking back I've paid for most of my own drinks. Mind you I'm cheap to buy for drink wise!
