THE PUBS ARE OPEN AGAIN!

[Cassady]

Iam slowly running out of pubs to go to. I aint track and tracing or wearing a mask . Ive knocking on windows of local pubs or shouting through the door my order and will pay by cash outside. One pub lets me in not wearing a mask as Ive told them Iam exempt but yesterday she asked me to show my exemption card. With the weather getting shittier its going to be a long winter.

I really have no interest in pubs any more.

 

Notice how all the measures and restrictions being brought in are designed to take all the 'fun' out of everything?

 

Pubs are now souless sterile environments. No 'banter' with the staff, 'order via app' etc. No music, no dancing, no singing, can't have people enjoying themselves. Then at 10pm, 'right off with the lot of you, get out".

 

In the latest 'rules', weddings are restricted to 15 guests. But funerals are restricted to 30 guests. Weddings tend to be more 'fun' than funerals are to be honest.

I totally agree about pubs being souless these days . I do miss sitting with the arl fellas and hearing their stories and also the craic with my mates . One of the plusses about me not going in ( apart from one ) is going thecpub was my only exposure to TV and the daily drip , drip of brainwashing.

I used to work in Greece, had a fantastic time, some of the best in my life. However they wanted to get different customers to the island, more family orientated etc.

 

People would dance on bars, in the streets etc. Then stupid laws would come in no music outside, no singing outside, no noise outside. etc.

 

It ended up me going round telling people to be quiet, otherwise the police would close us down.

 

The police closed down loads of bars every year for weeks on end.

 

That's when I had to say it was no longer the Greece I loved and couldnt work there any more.

So Covid now only works the night shift 10-6. What a rascal.

Get an exemption card similar to mine in my last post.... 'Can I Give You My Card' . Put your own bullshit on it and with most people standing at doors checking, it works. 

 

I got 100 made up for £13 using 'BananaCards'. Their cards were thicker (450) and look and feel great.  There were cheaper options but cards with a heavier feel fool the gullible more.

Cheers. Had a pint yesterday outside my local in the rain. My mate who brought me the pint out tells me that he'll put me on his table so theres no need to register. He tells me to wear a snoozle thing when going the toilet. My response was no . Iam an economical slave and Iam not becoming a spiritual one , also what is only seconds for my physical body its an eternity for my soul . So thanks for the info mate.

There's a whole different atmosphere to these 'beer dispensing halls' called Wetherspoons (It's a stretch to call them pubs.) The staff act with some sense of entitlement and will never laugh if anyone cracks a joke for example. They won't even acknowledge you've said something outside of the order and just quietly stare at the beer coming out the tap. They all act like they're a bit 'up themselves' so it must be part of the training they receive. I never go out at nights now and the pubs are great for the internet and the Real Ale festivals they have that comes from the micro breweries. 

Tim Martin does have some clout but then he pays plenty in tax and he's worth half a billion pounds personally. If anyone does start any antics, the police are there inside 2 minutes (at least in London) whereas it's the usual 2 week wait for independent pubs who will be lucky if a wandering PCSO on his beat to drops by asking if everything's ok?

 

I was barred from a couple of them when I lived in London a decade ago . My regular was the Gatehouse in Highgate, London which is where a lot of lawyers and guys from MI5 / MI6 live. They had three or four small private booth areas that I always went for which had seating for two on each side and were separated by a wooden panel. The phones weren't as advanced as they are now and I always had a laptop and headphones with me. Around 6pm two guys in pin stripe suits and yellow ties just sat down opposite me without even asking me if it was ok for them to sit there. I was so f***ing incensed lol that I stopped doing what I was doing and looked up some derogatory lawyer quotes before putting the laptop back in my bag and just sat there staring at them before asking if I could join in their conversation. I was about 3 pints gone and kept asking them about their latest corporate rip offs and how many suicides they had caused in their careers. I left after telling them the old 'What's the difference between a jellyfish and lawyer' joke .... (One's a poisonous spinless blob and the other's a from of sea-life.) I stood up to leave and said I was going to charge them £50 for my time   . Next time I went back, the manager told me I was barred. They had grassed me up when I had left. I was naive enough to write to Wetherspoons head office but you can guess what they said. 

I only wrote all that because it's shit weather outside. 

 I think you are right about the people that work at Wetherspoons although I know a couple of managers and they are generally nice guys and they have both said they get grief from the high command and no credit if the pub is doing well.  I k

Well  a lot of pubs will be dead in a few weeks as the government is talking about bringing in Prohibition. Good luck with that! It didn't work in the 1920s, so it won't work in 2020 either. People will just create the new speakeasies.

They are all closing at 9 o’clock now but on the bright side I live right on a main road with a bunch of pubs so I can’t hear all the drunk people when they get kicked out the pub chatting outside my flat.

I can't see that happening. The hospitality business, cafes, pubs, clubs etc closed down for sure but that's to stop people communicating. The Jewish, Italian Mafia gangs and the Irish had guns back in the 1920's to fight each other with to claim dominance. It would actually in the governments interest to supply every household with copious amounts of free booze to keep them stupified while they roll out 5G and A.I.   When they woke up in 2025 it would be all over.

I was being tongue in cheek humorous! I don't know if you are in the USA and of course the prohibition in the 1920s was over there: we've never had one here but Nicola "Krankie" Sturgeon in Scotland started this now and Boris is following her like a lap dog! He seems a bit scared of wee Nicola. Scots are known to like their grog, so good luck to her!

 

Oh we'll have our own speakesies,  but they'll take place in people's homes and perhaps garages.

Scotland is used as the guinea pig for new laws and roll outs etc., ie -  If it works for 5 million then it will be implemented and made law for 55 million people. The drink driving laws and the horrendous 'Named Guardian' laws saw one which was successful and the other which caused so much consternation that they dropped it.

It only looks like Sturgeon is taking the lead but they are working together while trying desperately to look as if they're not. If Johnson rolls out a disastrous law for the major cities in England which affected people in Perth or Pitlochry, the Jocks would be tossing their cabers and demanding another independence referendum. That will never happen because the plan is to end nation states and create planetary regions.
