Title: Country pub, Friday night...
Post by: narked on January 11, 2008, 22:30:50
And I have a grand total of six customers! All of whom are currently doing my head in!

Get me out of here!

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.

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

Back home now!

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.

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!

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.

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).

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!

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.

Maybe see you in there then, seeing as it's mid-week-pint-night. This weekend's going to mainly involve Kontrol at the arts centre for me  :afro: :cool: :dance:

EDIT: Oh yeah, and maybe heading to Bala on Sunday for some mudding, if you're game.

Sunday is a no-go for me I'm afraid, pipe cleaning in the morning, then doing the bar until 4. Plus got a few jobs to do on the Disco before I take it off road. Didn't make it into your place last night sadly, ended up in The Cambrian with a few others from the club, amongst a lot of rather strangely dressed students! Some of the ladies amongst them must have been rather chilly.

I enjoyed the gammon egg and chips the other day.

Ah Graham, how are things sir? Been back up in Llani working again, so been giving the Disco a good run every day now that I've got her back with her shiny recon gearbox!

The food's quite nice, I regularly enjoy the cuisine on offer ;) Nice mixed grill, gammon, and a few other bits and bobs on the main bar menu, and then we have a selection of homemade specials, my favourites being the chicken curry and the lamb and leek hotpot!

Can even get in a green lane on the way!!!
