    #655 "Can I get"

    I was reminded of this at lunchtime when the bloke in front of me volunteered to go and get two small bottles of mineral water. The barmaid got them for him but he then paid nearly a fiver for them by credit card, thus committing a #856. Oddly he wanted them to take away and beetled off outside somewhere. Why he couldn't go to the paper shop up the road and pay about a fifth the price is anyone's guess.

    Its normally studenty types(but not always) who on a busy Saturday lunchtime , spread their laptops and other odds and sods over a large area of the pub taking up valuble room , usually two of them will take up a couple of tables that would normally seat eight/ten drinkers , and then sit there for hours with one coffe between them
    We are here to drink Beer.....and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us .

    Did someone mention pubs that don't serve real ale? Had to spend last night drinking Estrella and cocktails due to the inability of most under 30s to know a good pub...

    Must be mixing with the wrong crowd.

    I'm in a JDW in London and had to queue behind 6 young 20 something office workers all ordering food and soft drinks for the same table number , ALL ordering separately and ALL paying by card !!! Not a great beer selection and if i wasn't meeting friends here i would be somewhere else.

    This annoyance applies to not just pubs, but just about anywhere.

    It's a coffin dodger wearing a baseball cap or sporting sunglasses pushed up onto their invariably bald stupid head.

    As someone old enough to be happy to admit to being a coffin dodger, I just wonder what planet these aged idiots who do this are living on!!
