Snot goblins already in school and most I know seeing friends and family as normal. (though they will deny if asked)
We know what's going to happen don't we really?
I have my 'what a suprise' smiley all primed and waiting
As we are both from Scotland. I fully expect Nicola to announce rapid relaxations if she wins big. If she gets a bit of a kicking in the polls roll out your smiley. We know what's going to happen don't we really?

You sound just like my in-laws! They think pubs are dirty and full of drunks. They never go out for a meal or drink. His motto is why would you want to go out when the wife will cook a meal! Total killjoys with a Victorian Outlook that socks the pleasure out of everything!
We've been out for drinks and regularly manage to get home without pissing in the garden and falling over the front step. Tarring everyone with the same brush is pathetic.
Will your view change in June when all restrictions are lifted?

As much as I hope she relaxes rules, I hope it isn't a reward for voting her back in again.If she gets a kicking I'll have my smiley primed and a massive bottle of Kraken at the ready
I'm just thinking, is the standard drink of your standard PHer, a powerfully built company director with goatee, a pint of Doom Bar?
Kind of fits the stereotype for me (that is, a rather bland ale, that may once have been a bit of an alternative to the other bland front line pub beers with hints of rugged seafaring adventure and memories of half term holidays and long lunches at Rick Steins in Padstow, but is just now a sub brand from a homogenous hyperbrewer).

But let's have a massive w

Good for you, I'm glad you like it. Sincerely! But let's have a massive w

But it did hit me when you mentioned it that it does sit in a certain position in the market - a bit like a multi-talented 2 litre diesel BMW touring might do! I don't think I could settle on any particular go-to drink though - I'll have a go at anything depending on the circumstances, season or how I'm feeling.

Sat outside freezing to eat my pub dinner tonight. Next week the risk has gone and you can sit in the warm. We have lost the plot.
I've got a Keis electrically heated waistcoat/gilet for use on my motorbike, and I can use it with a little 6ah battery pack. Wear it under my shirt. Been jolly handy down the pub

That's how I view it, I'm the same. I pick from a huge range of drinks. But if I see something like Doom bar, and I'm only having the one, I'll pick that rather than chance my arm with others. You couldn't pin me down to any particular drink - I'll have a go at anything depending on the circumstances. season or how I'm feeling.I have unfortunately been stuck in the middle of the type of conversations where one's amazing beer is anothers dressed up piss. It's subjective and when it's individual preference who can argue with what someone finds nice or not.

Completely agree! I dont mind a Carling top on a warm afternoon when I've dropped in for a thirst quenching couple.
The last thing I want is a pint of Fussells Old Fusty of which they have sold a few pints in the past 8 hours.

Ha ha, a few of these adverts (for battery powered vests, gloves and bootwarmers have started popping up on my Instagram feed. they must know my habits!Thankyou4calling said:
Not related to beer but if you ever need to park adjacent to the Stoop or Twickenham RFU I’ve a 6 car drive adjacent you can use FOC.
Great offer - though I usually get a train to Whitton and missing the mad queue's and crowds at Twickenham station itself. Guinness is my usual rugby drink. I seem to be able to drink endless amounts of it at the rugby.Hugo Stiglitz said:

There are now sufficient data to make an informed judgment. The vaccines are working, they are sanitising, and we haven’t seen enough of any variants to circumvent the vaccines. It’s over, we just need to keep our eyes peeled, and stay ahead of it.prand said:

Me too. Some reason it doesn’t seem to have the same effect at a rugby game!A mate, his dad and me went to see Tigers in Dublin, lots was consumed over that day/evening session, poor hotel toilet the following morning...

Tonight is the first Friday in many years that pubs are open and yet I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of going to the pub.
I had a meeting at the local yesterday afternoon. I'd usually use it as an excuse to hang on for the usual local crowd to turn up and have a few pints. In the end, the guy I was meeting went, I finished my drink and went home. Sat in a sodding tent, in the cold, when there's a perfectly good indoors just sat there empty. Crazy.
