Chatter

I can't stand people kissing in pubs and I've seen couples ordered to stop or leave before. From reading the reports the governor did ask them to stop and they ignored him so he threw them out. I could find no obvious homophobic undertones mentioned anywhere. I wasn't there, but fair play I say!

There's just something about it that makes men feel very comfortable

I think that made my day.

I'm still reeling from the suggestion that kissing shouldn't be allowed in pubs, what a stupid line to draw, what are you supposed to do in pubs? "You are only allowed in my pub if you sit on your own at a table and stare studiously at a crossword, but no filling it in, the scratching of the pencil annoys me"

That's a genius link

Thing is, it's about consistency. I'm not a fan of amorous couples in pubs - a quick kiss or a hug is one thing, but I draw the line at octopussing. If that's what these two guys were doing I would says that's too far, regardless of the gender combo.

I'm not a fan of watching octopussing (new term on me ), but I tend to put that down to me being uptight. Personally I find it far more offensive everytime someone puts 'Last Christmas' on a pub jukebox and I wouldn't suggest you eject them from the pub. I just think there are better things to get worried about, if it bothers you that much either don't look, or laugh and point.

As an incidental, the reporting of interviews of 'other people' in the pub seems to indicate that they were kicked out for a quick peck in the end, but really reporters are only going to report whatever suits them, so who knows.

I've seen someone on here use the word 'grockles' a couple of times which I understand to be some Cornish ooo arrr language used to decribe us normal types in the real world.

'Grockles' is the name given by the locals to holiday makers in Devon; in Cornwall they are known as 'Emmets'. I don't know why.

So they can make sure that no outside blood interferes with their inbreeding? Gimme 6!

Emmets is Cornish for ants , crawling all over the place .

I once had the pleasure of walking into a pretty busy locals pub (Farmers Arms , Polzeath ) in Cornwall and was told "we`re closed" one of the locals piped up "there Tonys mates" to which the Landlord replied "thats OK then , we`re open , thought you were emmets " Weird weird place !!

This pub:http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/10998/ has won its local CAMRA branch POTY. The landlord will be known to those of us who used to frequent the other side as Brewshed. I must visit, but it is a bit off my area, unfortunately.
