Mick Hennesey spotted....
Having a pint at the bar of the Punch Bowl pub in Mayfair (used to be owned by Guy Ritchie) by me last night - said a quick hello but forgot to ask him if Fury Vs Klitchko was ever happening. That is all. 
Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
That's my local!
Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
Lucky you living in Mayfair! First time I've been in it - quite nice vibe.

How much was a pint though?MacTavish wrote:Lucky you living in Mayfair! First time I've been in it - quite nice vibe.

No idea - only stayed for one and it wasn't my round! You don't get much change from a £5 note in most places in central London these days though...

You'd be doing marathon distances in London if that's the case.Stuarty30 wrote:Ooft! I'm a miserable working class jock! Anything above 3.50 and I run away!Nightmare Roy wrote:Few pence change from a fiver.Stuarty30 wrote:

The only place you get a pint under 3.50 these days is in a Wetherspoons. I used to drink in them, until I realised the owner was a Tory Donor.
Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
I've never actually been in a London pub! I worked in Surrey and drank there from time to time and it wasn't too bad. Anytime I went in to London it was just for a day trip.jamesmcdonnell wrote:You'd be doing marathon distances in London if that's the case.Stuarty30 wrote:Ooft! I'm a miserable working class jock!

Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
Your average local boozer in London, is now mind-bendingly expensive, it's because the breweries screw them so badly for profits, they have to charge a fortune just to stay afloat, free houses pay a fortune in business rates and leasing the premises, it's cheaper to do drugs than go to a pub these days, it's ridiculous. I've spent 150 quid on a night out in a boozer before, you get pissed and order a few rounds on your card, and 3 days later you're sobbing into your coffee at work when it all shows up on your online banking statement.Stuarty30 wrote:I've never actually been in a London pub!

Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
To be honest, I rarely go to the pub now, all the decent pubs in Brixton have gone, save for the Albert, but even so, I can't justify spending 7 quid on a rum and coke in the pub, when I can buy an entire bottle for 14.00 quid in the off license. I can easily end up doing 10 large rum and cokes in a night if I stay out late, and to add to the monumental hangover, I've spent AT LEAST 70 quid. Sick as a parrot.Stuarty30 wrote:jamesmcdonnell wrote:Your average local boozer in London, is now mind-bendingly expensive, it's because the breweries screw them so badly for profits, they have to charge a fortune just to stay afloat, free houses pay a fortune in business rates and leasing the premises, it's cheaper to do drugs than go to a pub these days, it's ridiculous.

Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
That's scandalous for a night at the pub! I'm off it for the foreseeable future but I prefer some lager in the house and a curry with a nights boxing to watchjamesmcdonnell wrote:To be honest, I rarely go to the pub now, all the decent pubs in Brixton have gone, save for the Albert, but even so, I can't justify spending 7 quid on a rum and coke in the pub, when I can buy an entire bottle for 14.00 quid in the off license.

Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
I'm toying with the idea of doing a year off, problem is, who in tarnation would I hang out with? All my mates are caners, no way I could hang out with them would be torture.Stuarty30 wrote:That's scandalous for a night at the pub!

If I go out with the bad ones she gives me a hard time and if I go out with the good ones it's a fuckin bore-a-fukk!
Re: Mick Hennesey spotted....
Sounds like my mates that only with the fitness freak half not being fitness freaks but also being whoremongering powder sniffers! And they wonder why I never go out for 'a few'.Stuarty30 wrote:One half of my mates are fitness freaks who don't even eat chips never mind drink and the other half are whoremongering powder sniffersjamesmcdonnell wrote:I'm toying with the idea of doing a year off, problem is, who in tarnation would I hang out with?
