Hi Tony

Last year I lived very near your establishment, and being an intrepid drinker I did pop in to try it out, around this time last year. Good ale and general ambience, I thought perhaps it might make an excellent local. Also, you had an open-mic on that night, and being a harmonica player in a local bluesy outfit I stuck around to check it out. Unfortunately the open-mic and the pub became dominated by a drunken oafish gobshite loudly banging crassly on about how cool it was to smoke weed, and playing covers of Tenacious D spoofs and other ‘comedy’ songs really, really badly. The low point was ‘Marijuanaville’ to the tune of Margaritaville. We were driven outside, where dickless followed us and explained how he was a local who was there all the time, that it was ‘pretty much his pub’ and how we should all be his friends. My tolerance snapped while watching him patronise the barman into making him some hideous ‘cocktail’ which he promptly downed, spilling most of it onto himself.

I would like to return to your boozer, but I must have a written guarantee that he no longer patronises it (in both senses of the word).

It might be worth me mentioning that we saw three other people separately leave in disgust. I’m not just being an arse. Or at least I’m not alone.

The Pub Revolution thing also looks like it's about 15 years too late. The moment for fighting pubcos and standing up for publicans was a while ago.

Perhaps Ali, I ddin't read the small print.

So will I. Where will you be and what will you be wearing. Look out for a trilby and crapper version of Johnny Depp's beard.

@A- you didn't sign.

If you're going to have a thing, you have to always have it.

@tosscat. Presumably such people are flat earthers?
