I've actually missed some clothes shopping (I hate buying new stuff online) and actually want to pick some things up for the house but want to be inspired by Ikea's combinations. I'm missing already the quieter roads. You can already breath the difference.
No you can’t.
Being able to wander across previously busy junctions has been nice, as has cycling roads you would never use normally. I conclude life would be far nicer with less of you cunts about.
I'm hoping we're fully back to normal bar travel by the (re)start of the football. Next Wednesday penciled in for a binge.
Pubs are open regardless, but it's table service only which is a bit meh, well, not the table service per se, just the idea of having to sit at a table rather than be around the bar, and the limited capacity. 39th day of no new cases and going on a fortnight without any detected presence of ze virus at all so I reckon there's a chance.
Have you New-Zealand'd it there then Niko?
Funnily enough, I went to a local pub near me in February before all this kicked off. Proper sort of trad one by the river, I'd been going up to that same bar to order for a decade or more, although it also does (pretty meh) meals as well to boost its income. I was with a mate who was looking after his baby for the day so it was two blokes and a pram - they probably thought we were a pair of homosexuals. I guess they'd have been half right. Anyway, because of the whole pram situation we got ourselves a table sorted out and got the thing parked next to it before going to the bar to order drinks. As it was, I didn't even have the chance to go to the bar because some girl had come over and said 'Any drinks for you guyz?' - they'd introduced blanket table service in the whole place that month.
It felt weird, French and I'm not sure I liked it.
Providing it didn't take an age to get served or to settle the bill I'd take table service in a heartbeat.
Do what Weatherspoons have done and order through the app to your table.
I was going to say, has Spoons not done that nationwide or are you fucking bellends not worshipping at the church of Tim Martin?
Yeah, although we locked down a day after the UK (I think) and probably had more cases per capita when we did (so no 'earlier in the progress of the virus' caveats), so other than good observance (there is a high level of lockdown fanaticism) and the ability to properly shut the borders I'm not sure what has saved us other than good luck and the fact we're a tiny little quite remote place.
You're fine as long as it doesn't descend into the Legendary Banter of posting your table number on Facebook and lolling yourself silly because Gregg and the lads sent you a bowl of pea's and a bottle of Reef.
'Hahahaha! everyone must think you're MENTAL'. No Gregg, they think his mates are unoriginal turbomongs.
And definitely no remotely ordered bananas.
You don't do sitting at the bar much over there do you? That's the bit that I'd miss too much to bother going. Sitting at the low tables is for women.

Captain Tom can go fuck himself. Amputated due to abuse as a baby, Jesus, one hopes it would have been too early to cause mental trauma althpugh not sure that works given he has to carry the most obvious of effects with the knowledge.
This is something I've never understood why England actively discourage. Well actually, it's probs a wise move to discourage lone drinking but still.
Bar staff in England are very "computer says no" anyway so they probably don't want to have to engage in any conversation.
Sitting at the bar is directly linked to how well you know the pub. Plus you don't want to block the bar from others trying to get a booze.
Sitting at the bar is purely for alcoholics or people with no friends
Purely dependent on how many people you’re out with. I’ll sit at the bar assuming there’s room if there’s only 2 or 3 of you.
This, or it's mid-week behaviour, less student nights of course.
Ya, that's that Gen-Z TikTok-ridden mentality that prevents it from being encouraged. Thankfully their anxiety attacks will have them housebound sooner ratger than later and the act will return to our drinking establishments.
Sitting or standing at the bar is ok as long as you aren't directly hindering others getting served. What pisses me off are the grumpy old cunts who insist on sitting on a stool when it's rammed, whilst they sup their 8th Ruddles of the day. They're the real fucking menace.
Both times I’ve seen or been with you you have been standing at the barThis, or it's mid-week behaviour, less student nights of course.
Yeah i really love hanging out with my mates in a single-file line for the whole night
Well I have to order the drinks somehow.Both times I’ve seen or been with you you have been standing at the bar
Mongs.
Jollys in less than 2 monthsWell I have to order the drinks somehow.
Standing at the bar is better than sitting at it anyway.Both times I’ve seen or been with you you have been standing at the bar
Well it’s usually too busy to sit anyway. Sitting usually occurs for Champions League nights
I'm not surprised at the queues for IKEA, given how absolute shite the website is. It took me 3 days to be able to place an order for delivery.
Half the cunts in the queue are probably 'working from home'.
Why do you care?
Links to my notion of knowing the pub before you do this.
Those pulled pint stuff is just down right shite - only one I have liked is Doom. It tastes flat on taste.
Why does anyone mention anything that does't directly affect them? Don't be that cunt.
As an aside, there's not a chance a large quantity of them aren't breaking travel guidelines.

No, I mean why do you care if some people might be taking the piss 'working from home'?
It's an observation. But, like I said, why go down that route at all? You could pull apart most of the posts on the history of this website using that snipey little logic.
It’s not that deep, mate.
Get some fresh air, Giggles.
Yeah
I don't understand resentfulness if someone might be taking advantage of working from home.
It should be commended if anything. Taking the piss out of the corporates.
You’ve really jumped on this one. Not a peep from you when I call a whole queue of people going to Ikea mongs, but once I suggest they could be dodging work the face has gone red. I can only surmise I’ve touched a guilty nerve.Yeah

Okay not really but namaste.
Guys we really need to do a whip-round for some new toxic rivalries on here, there's only so much of a shift Giggles can put in. Your work won't go unrewarded, son. I'll drag the statue down but still, you're adding the sort of dimension I need in my TTH life currently.
I won't tell anyone.
Teehee.
Drinking at the bar is for igor and his mad mates trying to impress the cringing barmaid with dead baby jokes.
Lewis meanwhile would be sipping on a milk In the corner telling anyone who will listen about the time he owned Al0n 7 years ago.
Only when he's not sending a pint of Calpol to table 24.
Alan owned himself, so nobody would be interested in that.
