Preloading

[tenpins]

Couldn’t manage that. Too full of beer. Used to do it occasionally when we were young but I never enjoyed it.

But this is several different groups of people whose only connection is being from the north east. Male or female, highly paid executives or factory workers. We meet up and go for a pub crawl. It’s never been discussed to do anything else. Sometimes I meet a new group and worry they might be foodie types but thankfully they’ve never been as yet.

Yeah I’m joking of course. I appreciate some people do meet up for food. I just find it extremely weird behaviour because, as I said, it’s never been on our radar.

So these “highly paid executives” never fancy a meal rather than going on a pub crawl around the town all night Dave?

Maybe with the family but not with me.

Someone should set up a poll.

Would you rather:

A) Go out for a meal with Herbal

Or

B) Go out for a pub crawl with Herbal


I’d vote B.

Dave is the best member of this board

A proper one off

They get a bit embarrassed when Dave orders from the kids menu to save money.

Not sure it's to save money, it's more that he's pre loaded with a giant banquet before he's gone out

 

[beverly macca]

Used to start sniffing and drinking about 1pm.
Not big or clever mind. Done me no good at all.

It’s not to save money it’s because you get a beaker of fizzy Vimto with the kids meal, and a toy.

 

[Qwerty]

Not for me .

 

[Thurston]

Is this something you do? I know the kids seem to have taken it to extremes now and stay in the house drinking all night before going out for a couple of hours, but I’m taking about doing it before going out for your regular session.

If I’m going out for a couple of pints (eg to watch the match on a midweek night) then no as there’s no point. But if I’m going out for a session then there’s no way I’m going in “cold” so to speak, otherwise you’re wasting the time it takes to get into the groove. Much better to hit the ground running.

Nah.

I like a few warm up drinks followed by meeting up for a an absolutely massive full English in a pub then day drinking and home or hotel fast asleep by 10. Perfect drinking sesh that is.

People being mocked for going out and socialising in a restaurant for a meal

Real question is though before going out for the meal do you scoff a sausage roll or two before heading out to get a head start?

Wonder if the idea of just bedding down in one pub rather than it always being a crawl still blows the OPs mind.

It will do please don’t.

I'd go for a meal so I could watch and mercilessly mock as Dave uses the wrong fork for his starter, gets the side plate positioning wrong and asks for tomato sauce.

Again, I’ve never met a group of people who are happy to do that. Or more likely I’ve never made friends with them.

You’d probably ask for water for the table so I’m out.

Sparkling. Not tap water.

In fairness setting out to sit in the same pub all night supping does sound horrendous I’ll agree with you there
