And I have a grand total of six customers! All of whom are currently doing my head in!

Get me out of here!

Where would you like to go

Sounds like a pub quiz I went to a few months back - grand total of nine people in the place, the quiz had a slight hiatus between rounds as the barman was competing and had to sort out drinks orders!

Could always get the local Mud Clubbers in, see how much generalised mayhem we can cause... :lol:

Worst thing is I know full well that before I end my shift the father-"in-law" will turn up to end the evening perfectly. Probably make me hang around for hours to take him home.

Half the customers are currently playing on the gaming machine (at full volume), and the other half are talking complete rubbish.

I have never heard of Ponterwyd so I know I will never go there.... thankfully ;) [-o< :)

No real need to come here ;) It's not exactly the world's most exciting place. Decent lanes round here though.

Back home now!

Well it can't be everyone's staying in becasue there's something good on the telly. I ended up putting a DVD on, good job I got plenty for Christmas.

Manicminer · « **Reply #10 on:** January 12, 2008, 08:25:32 »

This weekend is supposed to be the quietest of the year statistically. Apparently a lot of people have spent a lot on Christmas and don't get paid until the end of the month. They are skint.

Fancy a swap? I work in Rummers in Aberystwyth, and I just can't muster the necessary enthusiasm for tonight. :-k

Oooh Rummers. I love going in there, though admittedly rarely get the chance. At least now I know who the landy belongs to though!

Richard: time off is something I would love to have, and I shall arrange some asap! I have however applied for a new job, proper 9-5 Mon-Fri council job. Doubt I'll get it, but if you don't try, you never know!

Worked there for about 6 months 3 years or so ago. I had the "wonderful" job of operating the debarker. Pick log up, put log into machine, pull lever, repeat. Extremely boring. Occasionally was given a break and went on the pointer, which was almost as boring, but not quite! Broke my finger for the first time in that place, the air was blue that afternoon!

narked · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2008, 22:31:21 »

It's good, at first. But when it's constantly like that, it does your head in!

Just got back from having a couple of pints at The Druid Inn in Goginan, now that's a lovely little pub. Lovely beer (Butty Bach, mmmm) served by a lovely barmaid, in a lovely stone-built pub.

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2008, 22:40:37 »

Nick off and go to the Druid...used to be very good...

:lol:

discowoman · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2008, 20:29:46 »

Narkd - put a multimap link up, and next time we're passing we can pop in for a pint ;)

Disco Matt · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2008, 22:03:51 »

Ponterwyd is easy to find - just follow the A44 West from Llangurig and it's the next village you come to. The pub in question is on the left just before the end of the speed limit (still westbound).

narked · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2008, 21:33:57 »

Another dead night! Might head for Singlefin's place later, got a taste for the beer! Not had a good day with gf's parents at all, and in the mood for a night in town when I finish work!

burgerman · « **Reply #22 on:** January 26, 2008, 21:45:52 »

Pack ya overnight bag n get down here for our jolly tomorrow then :lol:

narked · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2008, 22:58:45 »

Ah [!Expletive Deleted!], once again my plans are blown out of the water. Seems things have got worse with the gf's parents and a suitably large bloke is needed as a barrier, so I am being chauffered home after my shift to act as a peacekeeper. Oh the fun.

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2008, 17:43:34 »

Was Butty Bach mentioned....

And yup, that's where the pub is.

Now is a good time - got Black Sheep on - yum.

narked · « **Reply #28 on:** January 28, 2008, 23:42:49 »

Only had that in bottles before, must pay you a visit! Might pop in after diving on Wednesday if I've got time, failing that I shall hopefully be in town celebrating my birthday over the weekend!

It could have got interesting in ya pub when we was up there (with burgerman) when there was a rugby match on TV with local getting animated over the match and my NewZealand matey said "Oh didn't know Wales could play rugby" :twisted: non one heard him though :doh:
