    Grown men, two bottles of alcopops in hand, dancing to Karaoke. Guy stood at the bar with a plastic bag full of car stereos. This is ~2pm.

    One of us goes for a slash. Another guy in there.

    "Is this your first time in here?"
    'Yes.'
    "Is it your last?"

    Cue tactical withdrawal. "We made our excuses and left" one might say.
    Still there, not a pub anymore, listed building I think. Was opposite Bolton Great Moor St station, closed 1966 or so. I was a nipper then.

    The George was an old mans pub, the Griffin further down was hard, and the Ancient Shep., never been in either.

    I got twatted with a pool cue in the Tramways in Blackburn rd, first visit, I’d literally done nothing, but out of order that...

    Some worse ones in Dublin, I shiit myself in Noctors.

    There's a reason some pub have no windows or are pen with the roller shutters down except for the door.

    One of the lads when into this dodgy pub in Coolock and was refused service because 'It looked like he wanted something'. Yeah, some beer....

    Another golden rule, never go into a pub with a lamp post or railing outside it with bunches of flowers with RIP on them attached.....

    What a load of cr@p.

    That Scottish beer is gnat's piss. And the Northern stuff is all froth.

    I'd like to see how you lot handle a night on the wife beater.

    Back in the late 80s, one of my colleagues went up to Newcastle Upon Tyne for the first time, to start a new job. He got off the train and went into a pub, which literally had sawdust on the floor.

    "Pint of lager please".

    "We don't serve pouffs in here".

    An English man walks into a Glasgow pub...

    ...and asks for a pint of lager with a dash of lime. The barman retorts “We don’t do cocktails here”
