Chicken Wing Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Some of my mates think its pretty sad that I enjoy this too, but I love it. I work shifts, so sometimes on a Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday I'll take my dog out for a walk for a couple of hours in the morning/early afternoon then nip into my local have a few pints of T. I read the paper, watch some TV, my dog gets a bag of crisps and a bowl of water from the bar maid. I'll have a few more pints, maybe spend about 4 hours in the pub if I get talking to someone then I'll take a stroll home. That's the life. Living the dream! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A happy memory for me was taking a couple of weeks off work last year, and just sitting in my local on a Tuesday afternoon with my paper, backing some absolute donkeys and sinking four pints. Just made life that wee bit more bearable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do it often but on occasion coming off a night shift I'd go to an early morning boozer and have 1 or 2 before heading home. As you say, paper, watch the breakfast TV or whatever was on. Braw. For me, drinking on your own in the pub is something I need to be in the mood for, unless you're just killing time waiting on somebody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This astounds me. Coming off nightshift my first thought is getting to my bed, not sitting in a pub nursing a pint watching Piers Morgan being a c**t at 8am. Kudos for going for it though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only done nights for about a fortnight ten years ago or so, but I used to struggle like f**k to sleep as soon as I got in from work. Not like you would finish a 9-5 shift and go straight to bed, so can understand why some folk have a beer or sit about for a while before going to their scratcher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to have a can in the crew room and another on the bus home, frightening the office staff on their way to work. Asleep as soon as head hit the pillow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Skidmarks Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I probably do more night shifts than days due to the nature of my work and can honestly say I’ve never had the urge to crack open a beer at 8/9am, I don’t sleep that well when I’m on them so that’s probably why I can’t wait to get to bed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I echo the pint on yer Jack sentiment. Something the Mrs will never understand! This. 100% this. Sinking a couple in a boozer on the walk home from work by yourself is also very under-rated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sitting in the Harvester at Broxden. Six hour drive under my belt. First pint since Hogmany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few horses on, a newspaper and pints of lager to keep you company.

Shandon Par Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Had four pints with lunch yesterday. A merry amount and a good time had by all. The subsequent bottles of red wine and prosecco a less good idea, making work today a bit shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpar Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 One of a few ads I've seen on the subway lately. Again though, shame it's only the export version they sell. I feel a visit to the Scottish pub is in order this long weekend for a taste of proper Tennent's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
