End of lockdown and back to the pub memes

[editor]

Thought this a celebratory thread of post-lockdown pub-focussed memes might lift the spirits.
If not, I'll just merge it with the other one,

I'm so looking forward to just going to a bar and buying a pint - no great desire to get trashed... just sit and mull over a pint.

I really enjoyed having a pint with my mate from work when we clocked off for the night. It gave us both a reason not to stay working late into the night

The pub was a short walk from the college and we normally get a seat outside. This meant he could have a smoke and I could fully enjoy my shorts on the winter time tolerance of the cold.

It also had at least 2 different nice ciders. Some of the other pubs only had strongbow of one of the incredibly sweet ciders like rekorderlig (I do like those ice cold in summer but after about 2 pints I feel like I'm mainlining ribeana)

We do still talk online (and play d&d) but it's not the same.

That sitting down and letting a sigh out as things unwind. A pleasant ritual.

We are desperate to get home. As soon as it is possible we will be there, at the pub, laughing with friends. We need it for our mental health.

My mother will be rude about my weight and age. I shall hate that. I'll eat fish and chips from Beckett's in Cleethorpes market place. And a chinese takeaway with my stepmother, if she is still able to.

I'll go to The Tea Gardens (Mrs Miggins have you been?) and drink a beer or two with old, good, friends.

No I haven't. Where's that?

It's the bowling club in Waltham on Skinners Lane. Decent beer at good price.

I'm looking forward to getting beaten in the pub quiz again.

Ah! I have a cousin living in Waltham so if I make it up there, I'll check it out.

I walk past my local a couple of times a day I'm looking forward to not walking past it and announcing loudly

The Crooked Billet, I am inside you.

Not a drinker but the idea of whiling away a few hours in a cafe getting wrecked on coffee seems idealistic.

Not a drinker either, I've just been pining to mooch about the city and go to a busy street market.

It’s been there for years. I first drank in there when I was about 18. I think it is members only, but I’m not sure how absolutely strict they are on that. It’s very local bar for local people. But in a nice way.

Yes. To wake up and not have the dark cloud there anymore.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Ya know...you've just put that very well. Very well indeed. It's OK living like this to a degree. We've all got used to it as far as we can. But for that dark cloud to be gone. Yeah - that's going to be great.

 

[dessiato]

I’m looking forward, in a way, to complaining about the noise from the bars again. It’ll signal a return to something approaching normal.

I can visualise you wandering back from the CB singing something along these lines to the tune of ladies of Spain or 47 ginger headed sailors

You should try the chip restaurant on the pier, it's very good

I have a dream of coming last, but for some reason I often come second to last. Infuriating.

I like Becketts, and given how they supported essential workers by giving free meals, I want to support them. They did all of this before Steels too. They’re a very old fashioned style chippy.

From the pier I'd be able to watch the donkeys being miserable on the beach. Assuming they're still there.

I've missed cafes so much. Just sitting there with a coffee, pain au raisin treat and my little Chromebook...

We have been lucky. Bars have stayed open since lockdown 1. Limited hours, and only outside, it has sometimes been a godsend to have those few minutes in the open air with two friends and a glass or two of something
