I dont think thats where the Public word comes from!
Is a public house not so named because it is free to sell any beer it chooses and is not restricted by a particular brewery?

I'll probably stay in by myself with a bottle of wine, find some film to watch, and make a point of going to bed at 11:55pm.

I'm off to a wedding on New Year's Eve.
Quite a nice change, should last into New Year's Day.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostYep, I know that, been there, not done it! Last time I was in Hamburg I ended up at a live sex show on the Reeperbahn with 3 women (all techie management from Telekom) and got kicked out of the show for laughing too much and refusing to pay 35 smackers for a beer. Ended up in an old boys pub (the best) drinking with Hamburgers, great night. Will probably go to Parlament (great eaterie under the Rathaus) and Old Commercial. Will also visit Spicys (spice museum) and Beatlemania (big museum dedicated to the Rolling Stones.)
The Mo-grill sausage stand on Monckebergstrasse, hmmmm!

Hamburg is great tho - try the Fischmarkt at Landungsbrucken on Sunday morning about 7:00am, still a party going on from the night before, beer still flowing, feels very wrong!

Quiet one this year.
Still plenty of good food and wine though.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostFinish work sometime tomorrow afternoon and drive home. Pack my bags for Friday and get a train to Hamburg where I shall be partying until Tuesday. Sadly Frau D. (and another couple) are coming with me so I can't do any really naughty stuff although there is a road in Hamburg where women aren't allowed so I could just 'accidentally' get lost...

England
Wales
Scotland
Ireland
Isle of Man
Personally I think it's bollocks, you're lucky if you can see Horwich...
Come to think of it there's no way to see Ireland or Scotland either, surely too far. The things you get told as kids and just believe, like my dad told me the long planted traffic islands around Bolton Town Hall are giant's graves and spaghetti is made of worms.
