Why visiting the pub?

[Crazy chef 1]

If you are too sensitive...

Actually I though a pub is the last refuge for us males. A place where you can joke and chat with likeminded people without being overly PC and traditional topics ( work,sport,beer,woman,relationships) getting discussed.

But it seems that (very) few members are mistaken a pub with a " club lounge or in- cafe" and are too sensitive to enjoy a typical pub atmosphere and topics usually discussed...

Though why joining the pub if the view of most visitors differ so much from yours???

I am off to get a tower of Chang. How many glasses do we need?

[Crazy chef 1]

Only one tower? Though I guess two should be more than sufficient...

A pub is a great place to meet people from all walks of life with all sorts of different opinions and ideas - as long as you can handle talking to them without losing your cool.

An Aussie, an American and an Englishman went to the pub. The doorman told them "You can't come in without a Thai".

Just a soy latte for me thanks.

Generally never have been a big Pub guy....

Partly from raising my daughter & if at all was with guys I played sports with.....As we traveled and played ball together and we'd chat there - the serious teams didn't drink much - a few did but by the 3rd/4th day they were shot/kaput.....

Will do every so often but still not much......Would enjoy with some here...

I think it's a traditionally cultural thing and Pubs - not too many in the states.....Possibly because I never liked big city living so never got into the club thing or next best place to try thing.....

Here - it's a bit fun - often interesting....Not forced into a noisey crowd.....You can sort out your thought, words, and people and have to guess that most aren't tippling/drunk......

Yes, but the biggest problem is as some people drink more, it changes them, and if you say something they don't agree with, they get angry.

This has happened a few times to me amongst Farang aquaintances, I will always accept that some people have different opinions from me, and

as long as they do not threaten violence, they will never have a problem.

Some people seem to have a problem understanding that not everyone shares their opinions.

I've been waiting for someone to take issue with you....It must be a quiet night in TVF if no one will argue with you!!

I don't really see why. All I do is express a slightly different view of life to the entrenched one in these forums. I've no idea why people get bothered by this, or attribute all sorts of stuff to me that I never said. You'd have to be pretty insecure in what you believe to let that get to you so much.

No room for such touchy people in the pub, surely?

If you like to drink and chat and think its socialising with like minded humans in a pub setting good luck to you, me i find all of that quite boring.

You still don't get it do you bikey. Your replies make for entertaining reading for us bored souls.

You must live in a pretty narrow rut if a mildly different point of view is enough to make your day.

Why yes, My 4 mos job assignment has me in a very narrow rut. It simply gives me an occasional chuckle.

Except the expression "mildly different point of view"...

Cheers!

You think drinking in the pub with other beings is boring, then admit to drinking alone whilst watching a silent T.V. and listening to the HI-FI.

Good job we are all different

[nidieunimaitre]

Ever since my student days (40 years ago) the closest I have been to going to a pub is this forum.

Same same: too much alcohol, for men only, silly discussions, a waste of time.

I should stop really, but it's such an easy way to fill time when I am bored.

PS: Yes I will close the door behind me.

I've learned long time ago that when someone is drunk he shows his real nature, or better he isn't able to hide behind a façade anymore.

So when people drink more they don't change, they actually show their real face.

And suspect thats why my old Dad told me never trust someone who doesnt drink and makes a big deal out of letting everyone know they dont drink ( ex alcoholic excluded one suspects)

Its a bit like the following question " How do you know some one is a vegatarian" ? ......dont worry they will tell you

Just about sums me up @Anthony5. I either fall asleep, get into a fight or end up with a stranger in the sack.
