England are playing at 8 tomorrow so the pub might not be a nice place to be...

Playing what?

And which pub have you relocated to now? I was thinking of toddling along tomorrow

World Cup football. Remarkable, you're even less informed than I am...

We're now at The Avery (used to be the Hogshead) on the town side of Parker's Piece.

Yep. :o(

England plays association football at international level?

I thought they just stuck to cricket, rugby and stuff...


So, is it still the Avery tonight then, or has an alternative been arranged?

Apparently.

They'll be at the Bun Shop, King St.

They?

You're not going then?

Hmm- any idea whether Andy will be going? Otherwise I might just stay at home and swig my G&Ts in the garden...

No, I'm busy at home. :o(

Sorry, don't know. Who knows with Andy these days?

Football fans have rights too :p

Possibly, but they tend to take them far too far.

They're just loud and excitable. The world cups only once every few years, I think its rather fun to see everyone so passionate about it :)

Behind 3 inch thick bulletproof glass with a flame thrower handy.

am I the only person who knows nice football fans? or any at all?

My housemate is a nice football fan, and it's infectious really. I'm going to watch the match at home, probably while knitting or something.

I assume he doesn't get drunk down the pub and tears up the town when it all goes wrong. Those are the people I'd like to avoid. OK, it's prejudice and bias but I value my skin.

you know I've only ever seen that happen on TV. The only hassle I ever find is when someone drunkenly puts their arm round you and either shouts "Oi oi!" or "we was f*cking robbed!"

"erm... yes mate" seems to satisfy. 99% of fans are loud but harmless methinks

They might be harmless but I'm still intimidated.

maybe you should try hanging out in some sports pubs until they don't bother you any more. Start with cricket and work your way up :D

No. The ones out and about in town tend to be the worst. I'm having a hard time dealing with the usual drunk idiots, add enraged/excited football fans and it's going to be really bad.

What good is the flamethrower if there's 3 inch bulletproof glass between you and the scary people?

You could have toasted marshmallows while you're in hiding, I suppose :)

That's exactly my problem. I want to have a conversation in the pub.

Besides, if they lose, I don't want to be at the receiving end of thrown chairs, glasses or whatever.

Nah, the pub isn't the best place tomorrow night.

You won't be able to see the screen properly.

Best thing to do is invite some friends round and watch it at home.

:p
