Is it wierd to go to the pub on your own?

[gohan]

Sun is blazing today, just fineshed college, everyone is either at work or busy or w/e. Is it wierd to jsut go to the pub on my todd and sit in the beer garden doing some revision etc? will I be one of them strange old blokes that are always in the corner of the pub alone with 2 pints of bitter??

thoughts?

 

[Tuthmes]

That's what pub's are for.

I think going to the pub is a weird act, alone or not. Weird, odd places.

 

[DaGaffer]

I miss occasionally going to the pub on my own. Pint and the paper on a Sunday morning was a nice bit of "me" time. Bit weird if you did it all the time though.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Around here it's nothing special atleast, i tend to go to the pub always alone and meet whoever happens to be there from the social list.

Naut wrong with it, just in hiding it.

 

[Everz]

Seems to be the normal hah.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

To apply it to me, if there were coffeeshops here then I'd have no problem attending on my own for a cheeky one or a sit down for a bit.

 

[Everz]

You posh toff. See I'm the opposite, I hate the thought of sitting in coffee shop on my own, at least in a pub I have food, beer and a tv.

As long as you take something to do (stuff to read or whatever). If not you look like a weird man looking for his latest project to take home and lock in his basement.

I think his interpretation of a coffee shop and yours aren't seeing eye to eye.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Spliff, hot chocolate, newspaper - how's that so different?

can I take a book but cut holes in it to do both?

 

[Wij]

Yes, it's weird. Drink alone at home.

Yes - but remember to change pubs regularly else that landlord will get upset you're offing to many of his customers.

It's perfectly normal! Gods...such a judgemental society where you can't grab a girl and lock her in the basement for some fun. It's my house FFS.

Yes, but they're my girls. All mine - my preciouses....

I'm comfortable in my own company and have popped to the pub for peace and quiet. I'm at that age where my mates are getting married and starting a family, so they're just not able to go for a pint like they used to. If I'm being honest, I find their chat about babies and marriage fucking boring so I'd rather not hear it.

Perhaps sitting getting pissed on your own all the time would be considered a bit odd.

 

[Scouse]

What G said.

Yes, it's weird. Drink alone at home.

I rarely drink at home and even more rarely do I drink alone.

It's a social thing for me.

 

[Jeros]

I like it, it allows me to have a good look about and see if anyone has the right shaped head to add to my skull collection.

I sometimes drink "on my own" ie. I have a drink and my wife doesn't. Or go to the pub for a quick pint, talk to the landlord, sit in the garden with a paper/book. If the wife goes away to see her mum or friends and I stay at home, I often crack open a bottle of wine.

Nothing at all wrong with drinking alone, getting wrecked every night on your own is a bit odd...but then so is going out to get wrecked every night.

 

[Lamp]

No. Perfectly ok.

And how the feck did you get any sunshine today? Been grey, cold & miserable down here all day. Roll on summer.

 

[Raven]

Been lovely in the Midlands!

 

[megadave]

It's not weird unless you try and get all chummy with a group of younger people imo, those people always look a bit odd.

 

[Gwadien]

Been nice in Leicester, bit cold mind you, but acceptable!

 

[gohan]

was gorgeous in southampton, came out of college must of been about 20 degress or so, clear skies very bright

When I was single, I sometimes went to a local club on me own. I knew a few of the doormen & DJ, and TBH I pulled more going on me own that with a bunch of mates.
