just recalled one thing I miss from pubs, and that is a pinball machine or a Fussball. When off my tits I could never manage a video game, but table footy or pinball was Ninja-time and helped burn off getting too wankered.

Aye. Never been one for long hangovers. I could have drunk yesterday, but think I should ration and space it out. The temptation just to say 'ah, fúck it' can be quite strong.Frodder wrote:You recovered from your Saturday night blow out Double H?happyhooker wrote:Woah.

Would love a proper pint right now.
Re: The PR fantasy pub
Amen to that. It's great that there are so many good canned or bottled beers available now, but there's no substitute for a properly pulled pint from a well kept cellar.happyhooker wrote:Aye.

Re: The PR fantasy pub
The big question though - sparklers or no sparklers?

Proper town pubs where you can listen to some rock on the jukebox and meet busty girls in DM's would have a pool / football table even today, and a pinball up until 10 years ago. video games were more 80's and before my time apart from Student SU bars.
Re: The PR fantasy pub
I only know of one pub with a bar billiards table these days. You rarely even see pool tables or darts boards anymore. Which is a shame, I used to love a lock in, playing darts all night and getting hustled by the ancient alcoholic at the bar.SaintK wrote:Oh do f uck off.

There's a very decent pub near me that got renovated last year, but fortunately they kept the bar billiards table. Pool tables just take up too much floor space nowadays, especially in food rather than wet lead pubs.

Always sparklers, always
A skilled barman can pull a decent pint without one but it defies understanding why anyone would want them to

Re: The PR fantasy pub
Fwiw, the sparkler debate has a very simple answer: it depends on whether the beer has been brewed with that method of dispensing in mind.
This often descends into a north v south argument as the vast majority of northern breweries are with sparkler and vice versa.
Mary Jane tastes wrong without and london pride or harveys wrong with, but both can be good pints. There are examples where southern breweries are brewing beer for use with sparklers - five points bitter being one.
The other issue is that a sparkler requires a long swan neck pump. If fitted to a shorter neck it just gives you a pint of foam.

tbh as long as the woman are hot and the beer cold, I don't really care so you are prob correct.happyhooker wrote:Taking yeeb's advice on pubs/beer is akin to asking rosemary west for childcare tips
am quite lucky in that most pubs round here have Youngs so pretty good range of pump beers no matter whether its a younger orientated pub or bar that would have had pinballs and pool tables a decade ago, to old git pubs like the ones you like. found a decent one a few weeks ago, the Albion in Kingston, has about 100 different draught ales and has every wall and celing covered with beermats.
no pinball or pool table and the only bird there with nice views I had already married, so didn't stay too long
