h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I thought I'd better give some kind of account as to why I've not been online this evening...

Well I decided to go out and see what the big bad world is like on a Friday night. at first I wasn't sure were to go, but a long walk through town told me that there were pubs ever few yards, and that it was about the right distance someone could stager out of one, only fall over a few times before reaching the next.

So I decided to do a bit of a pub walk, I coun't really call it a crawl as I don't drink, more about that later.

Well early evening things are good, some rugby match is playing and I decide to fequent a nice looking pub. had a nice listen to some music before talking to some people and then I moved on, I had an hour or two in whetherspoons while the rugby was on, got a bit board as you seem to need someone to go with, no music or anything. so I wandered on, found the next pub in the line, went in, listened to some more music, tried a game of pool. not bad, got thrashed. anyway onwards, this was about 10pm, so I decided to find somewhere more lively, the next pub called the Grape and vine was having a karaoke night, and I sat down for the rest of the night, got to know the girls sitting next to me, and sang a few piece's. afterwards I felt a little sozzled, even tho' I'd only drank coke, well I tell a lie, I only had one coke at the grape and vine, because it tasted like carb water and cost £1.80, so I got orange.

Statistics,

I feel like I must have passively smoked a good 20, (tax free, eat that Gordan brown)

I think I passively drank about 10 pints of ale, and

my head was all a bit unclear,

but I endeavoured to enjoy myself. and I did.

-- DoctorMO --

i know the feeling...sozzled without having drunk anything that is...
i dunno if i could cope with going round loads of pubs on my own, unless i knew i was gonna meet someone i knew, you're very brave

I use what my friend calls, 'Degree in bare arsed cheek'

To be honest I was scared, I wasn't sure what to expect, what to do or anything, but it turned out ok. I found out some interesting things. and met some interesting people. one of the best things I thought was that a pub is just a shop of drinks with seats. nothing special. but I still think it will take more experances for me to be totaly unafraid of socialising.

-- DoctorMO --

hehe, well, good first step, and you're a lot braver than me

For some reason when I talk to you I get the impression that you wouldn't have been as afraid.

perhaps next time you can come too.

-- DoctorMO --
