I just thought I'd stop in for a pint, but it doesn't seem as if there's anyone around. I'll stop by later to see if things have picked up.

There were so many cobwebs in front of the door I'd forgotten this pub was HERE!!!
Pours a swift Jamesons to accompany a foaming tankard of Cains 2008 Celebration
[Thinks] Coincidence is a funny thing: reference to the conversation about Ballroom Dancing dating from 2002, and a mini-rant I can feel building inside me about the pathetic non-entertainment value of Brucie polluting TV screens in the UK with his appalling so-called "jokes" on 'Strictly Come Dancing'
IF IT AIN'T BUST DON'T TRY TO FIX IT!!!!
Let's have the original format back, NOT these so-called "celebs" who don't seem to have a jot of rhythm between them

Yes, well, the cobwebs are a sign that at least have kept busy. I hope they haven't drunk up the last of the Pinot Noir.
Speaking of finishing bottles, I am reminded of a scene in a movue I saw yesterday, "The Day After Yesterday." In it, an ice age has started, as the Northern hemisphere is being battered by three superstorms. Ian Holm plays a meteorologist in Scotland who realizes that most of Europe and North America are about to be frozen to death.
Someone suggests using the last bottle of Scotch to run the electric generator, but Holm thinks that would be a waste of good scotch. They drink the scotch instead. In other words, they are doomed and might as well find what little enjoyment that can before the end.

Well, IMHO people who'd stock [and drink!!] Scotch when they COULD have had a bottle of Jamesons instead DESERVE to be doomed ...Running a genny is just about all I'd consider using MOST scotch whisky for ( - though it's rumoured that there are both Welsh and Japanese versions of this spirit which taste even WORSE ....

I've had very little scotch, and no Jamesons at all, so I wouldn't be the best person to try to figure out which is best (or worst).
I like a little sherry or Madeira occasionally. I put chablis or burgundy in soup when the recipe calls for it. Otherwise, I'm a teetotaler.

It looks like things are picking up already. Hi All!
Jameson's is good stuff, but I do drink Glenfiddich Scotch usually. Guinness is my favorite irish thing to drink. Speaking of which, is there a bartender about?

eloisa, there's a waiting in the pipes for Amy the Ant: hopefully she'll get wind of the planned Pub Crawl - which I suppose is an appropriate way for an ANT to get from Pub to Pub ....

As a regular here..(2002,last visit, I believe),I`m damned if I`ve heard of any pub crawl like that. Sounds about right, though.

Sorry, Lurcher.
I made a mistake.
It's Bar crawl of the damned. You can check it out if you wish at:

Basically, it's a comic-book version of Kurt the Werewolf and Sean the Vampire as they drift from bar to bar late at night....

Thanks for the tip off, very funny indeed.
Co-eds.
Giggle.
Pub crawls are good, specially when they're bad.

Awfully quiet...
Hello, All!
I heard an echo about a jameson or a glenfidditch, maybe?
A shot of Captain Morgan's would suffice for the moment.
Hello?
