Do You Miss The Pub?

I don't want to go out in Bolton anymore. My best mate got jumped by a gang of Asian lads and they gave him a good kicking. One lad was goading him and his wife in a takeaway on Bradshawgate and when my mate reacted after the lad pushed his wife and smacked him then all his mates appeared and you can guess the rest.

Do you easily upset folk?

Actually I've never personally had any problems in town or pubs in general, it's more an observation of how other people get.

Most people seem to be out looking for a fight - especially when boxing has been on - and is it any wonder when there's two obnoxious pricks stood on the door at most places winding folk up before they've even sat down with a drink.

Pubs in my town preparing for tomorrow and had a chat with a couple of the landlords this pm (me and the missus were supposed to be having a bike ride but as i was passing anyway....) 
They've gone for a one way system with serving zones and are banking on decent weather so folk can sit outside. 
With nobody around it looks brilliant. Add our locals to the situation tomorrow and I'll give it 5 minutes before chaos descends. I'd like to go to check it so the missus and I will be using our safe sex PPE

I can just see you now Wander...

Spot on. I totally am a dickhead. And Tibetan.

I'm not surprised you've chosen tha t name Wander. You're a long way from home.

I feel quite at home here. Norfolk is full of mountains.

Anyone going to the Pub tomorrow is going to have to tell people that they are his best mate from a metre away ( I think its a metre now ).

I fell off Cromer pier once.

Was the tide in?

Was it a bad head wound Bonce ?

Not a scratch. I fell off the breakwater in Whitby too. Luckily there were a lot of people fishing near the end of it, and they pulled me out. I've never learned to swim, which is probably surprising to most people who know me.

Just back from the pub. Technically it was a bike ride. but we happened to pass the pub on the way home so we thought we'd check it out. Thoughts are:
* I'd forgotten how good a nicely pulled pint of Ghost Ship is
* The young 'uns tried to hug me and I had to tell them to back off
* They hugged each other
* The layout was sensible but it's obvious that the rules aren't being followed.
* Missus asked if we had to sign in - as per guidance - and landlord told me someone would be round with a form but it didn't arrive
* Had some brief conversations with folk that involved shouting and sign language
* This is lunchtime. F*** knows what it will be like tonight but the missus isn't keen on me going

Conclusion: FFS take care folks. A couple of pints in and already common sense was going out of the window.

Was that you cycling through Brancaster?

No mate - too far away for me and the missus as it's on the north coast and we're near the east coast. We did a bit of the Weavers Way up to Blickling.

Disgraceful scenes last night near me.

I really do dislike people.

Your are in a lovely part of the country there. I particularly love that North Coast area from Hunstanton to Overstrand. We have stayed at Titchwell Manor a couple of times, there are some really good country pubs and that coastline is so accessible and interesting.

I'd like to say the Queen is practically a neighbour but I can't as I live 40 minutes from Sandringham but know the coast well - it's 9 miles away. Nice here for an old bugger.
