It was only small and they had some play your cards right game thing they were doing. They went round the place asking for money to enter off everyone apart from us two Me and a pal went into a Belfast boozer some years ago. We found out later that it wasn't the sort of place 'outsiders' should frequent. Two locals actually followed my mate into the toilet to ask whether he was a catholic or protestant! Once they heard his broad black country accent, they gave him a pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So called I them, they haven't got a model 3 only a Tesla S, which is great no problem all booked. I thought I would call the local branch where it is booked to confirm the booking. "We can't guarantee a Tesla for you, but we will put you in a premium car". I have a premium car why would I want anything else? Also there knowledge of the car was next to zero, asking how do I charge it, "there are plenty of charging stations around". Errrr, thanks for that, I'll be back on the phone to head office!! Plug it in I imagine. You are welcome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I'd just walked into someone's living room. We stood at the bar for an awkward couple of minutes and then left I’m probably missing something obvious as I am a daft lad, but I really don’t understand the mentality of these morons. If you want to keep it to a small group of regulars, without unknowns walking in, just go round each other’s houses with a few tins and save yourself some money.

Thought it was good they had a DJ on, then commented how smart people looked, oh and a buffet, that’s unusual. Yep, it was a private party The missus and I had a few days in Prague (I was doing the Prague half marathon, cracking race) and on the last night we went into a pub and had the identical experience - buffet, DJ, etc. - and realised it was a private birthday party. But they were great, just told us to help ourselves to food (which was delicious). Much like BOF's welcome in Canada, really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) The worst I have had was in The Inn on The Green in Acocks Green. Early 90's when it was called Beagles Flies Again or something. I was about 21 and went in with a mate and our girlfriends. It was like The Slaughtered Lamb. The place went silent and everyone stared at us. We didn't even bother ordering. Another good one was in a pub in Lynton and Lynmouth, can't remember which one, the one at the top of the hill, Lynton I presume. We were staying down there with a big group of friends in large country cottage in January as we used to do every year. Villa were playing Leeds in the Cup, I was the only Villa fan so I just went there on my own to watch the game. Being so far out of season it was mostly empty apart from a few locals. I got the funny looks when I went in and sat down. Then Carbone scored that ridiculous goal. I stood up and went totally nuts giving it the big celebration. Realised you could hear a pin drop as I sat back down again. Then I heard a voice behind me at the bar say "fair enough, it was a great goal" Edited June 15, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it was like in the 90's, but having lived in Acocks green until I was 25 I can confirm that that pub is an absolute total shit hole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I get its your haunt and you probably put a few more quid in the till, but my money is still green you know. Maybe if you want the pub to stay open with everything going on, stop making every irregular feel uncomfortable Set it alight. Burnnnnnnn it (in joke, ask your dad) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She then proceeded to sticking stuff to her sticky skin on angles to make her point. That these people steal oxygen I could have used pisses me off. Ahh. So it's an oxygen deficiency, then.

il_serpente Posted June 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2021 A friend and I were bored one evening in Rochester, NY in the early 80's and decided to pop into a quiet-looking bar. Everyone turned and looked at us, and it just seemed a little strange and not particularly inviting, so we decided to leave. On the way out I saw a stack of free newspapers and it struck me 5 minutes later what was going on. The newspaper was called "The Empty Closet".
