The_One Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I would like to propose we all devote a few minutes of time to think about, and applaud, the man who invented the Pub. The Pub is the greatest invention known to man - well English people, mainly. Anyway, anyone from this land will know the importance of the Pub in day to day life. The Pub solves many problems, and many things (good and bad) happen there. So, a moment of silence for Mr Pub Man. Yes, I've had a bit to drink. But this shouldn't interfere with our moment of sheer adulation for Pub Dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I haven't been inside a pub for years. *curses health problems* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeurd Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Oh yes, where would we be without pubs? lol, I don't know how Americans cope. Some tell me that they only have about two or three bars in their towns, it's an outrage I tell you. In my smallish town, we have at least 10 pubs. *raises his pint in a toast* Cheers!

There are 40 pubs in Margate and it's not exactly huge. fan.tastic. Yup, here's to the man who invented the pub! *raises a Beck's* Oh, and let's not forget pub-man's co-conspiritor that he's sitting on his cloud with: the man who invented alcoholic drinks! Someone must have been the first person to notice that drinking x gets you hammered. I'd like to meet the guy and buy him a pint. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Here's to alcoholism! Was at the pub last night. Had a tops night. Won about $70 on the pokies, and spent about half of it on drinks So I was up about $40, so i went and bought more alcohol for my cupboard This pic is a few months old, but the collection is bigger than that now. A lot is actually off to the side in the cupboard as I couldnt fit any more in shot. That and the wood is bending and its about to snap And let us not forget our good friend, beer.

obi Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I love it when people leave bars/pubs drunk and then drive! Yay for idiocy! *sigh* For those who drink responsibly, you have my respect. But don't drive after your pub visits, please. The after effects can be harsh. VERY harsh. I'm usually not one to be serious, but when it comes to this, I am about as serious as they come.

•-BLaCKouT-• Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Erm, Obi, no-one even mentioned driving until you came in and brought the mood down Or was it a pre-emptive strike as someone was bound to mention it sooner or later. There are idiots in all walks of life, and drinking is no exception. But this thread wasn't started to celebrate them, it was started to say thanks to Mr Publington Housemansworth, inventor of the pub. The first person to find a picture of him wins a half of mild. I can't even drive anyway B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually not one to be serious, but when it comes to this, I am about as serious as they come. I always walk the 2 miles (I live in the country) home from my local pub, it seems a lot further on the way back let me tell you! Drink driving is the one of the most stupid things you can do, I won't drive if I have had even the smallest amount to drink. Anyway, a big ! to the chap who came up with the whole pub idea.

--ZeeMan-- Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 A cop was waiting outside a bar to nail the people attempting to drink and drive. So he sat waiting in the shadows watching everyone that came out. After time, out stumbled this one guy who appeared to be drunk off his a**. Ah HA! thought the cop. My first catch of the day! (yes i threw in a sw quote;)) ANYWAYS, the man is stumbling down the sidewalk to get to his car, nearly tripping with every step. As he finally gets to his car after trying his key in nearly every other car in the parking lot, he has trouble with the lock. He finally get's inside and then drops the keys. Cars around him are leaving the parking lot at will, and pretty soon he's one of the last remaining cars. Finally, he drives out of the parking lot and promptly gets pulled over by the cop. The results of the breathalyzer test? 0% The cop, being astonished, asks "how in god's name did you manage that? i watched you and you were drunk as hell!" "oh i'm just the designated decoy..."
