Confused... (yet again lol)

With much eager anticipation I ventured down to my local S******s Ale House... Expecting to find a house focused on the brewing, selling, and consumption of ale... was also hoping to watch (and listen to) the rugby on the big screen and watch the Southern young fellas shove it up the Jaffas... Given that both of the aforemention teams are sponsored by the brewery behind said Ale House, with the same S******s brand no less!!!

Imagin my surprise when I walked into a bluddy restaurant!!!

Admittedly there was a screen in the corner showing the rugby - though the only audio was 80's & 90's pop/rock... Mark Knopfler is no Murray Mexted (and thankfully, nor is anybody else - besides MM)... however, I digress (as per).

How can an Ale House be another 'themed' restaurant?

Should I go to Valentines or the Hogs Breath now for a good bar?????

It's not Buffy, just me bein a numb nuts lol...


Yeah, I've heard that Smarah - I was on a venture of the bars I'd never been to... Speight's, The Establishment and Portside... mission accomplised lol.


Looks like the two closest will be the regulars too... what a bugger


Actually - that would be the 2nd & 3rd closest - just realised I'd have to walk past the Empire first lol

god stay away from the empire. Establishment is yuck, good place for watching sports when theres not oversize girls in undersized clothing *shudder*
Establishment and Speights are complete opposite ends of Jackson street, and Murphy's is right next door to Portside in between both, you should come into my work for a beer on Beach Street

And the tile work in the men's toilet is of a standard not seen often these days,
and the urinal(s) were manufactured by 'Adam Ant' no less.

Wednesdays at 7.30pm. I haven't been the last few weeks as have been working. And an vital member of my team moved to the south island to become a WOOFer or something.

yeah can't remember what a woofer is, something about picking organic fruit. We had a good laugh as I was embarking on "wiffing" (midwifing) and he was embarking on "woofing". Way funnier when you're drunk.
Also surge i have had an awful week and am planning on getting positively sh*tfaced this friday night at murphys. You are most welcome to join.

I might just do that Smarah... the best thing about weeks is that they're only a few days long, and mine's been a bit crap too (though that may soon change) so I could be crying or celebrating myself lol.

Hopefully it'll be the latter


And at least you'll have someone to laugh at too


(and no, still no nothing of the woof... unless it barks and has a tail that wags, I've got nuthin lol)

Odds can never be that low. Pity also gives a decent base to start from.
