I always find nights out with a purpose gather pace through November and December. The obvious answer to this is that's it's Christmas with all the entails but once you throw in not only my birthday celebrations and those of a couple of mates and it's quite hard going. My own celebrations took in a couple of pubs along with tea taken in the Charthouse Chippy. Cod and chips with mushy peas for me. Served with a pot of tea and bread and butter. Just what was needed. After this it was on to The Rovers Return where money was piled into the jukebox without selecting any Cabaret Voltaire which on previous occasions has got us some strange looks.
The other nights took a similar course minus the chippy tea. Although one of them resulted in a visit to The Legion so cheap drinks all round.
I've still got a Christmas lunch lined up with work, Jaks , for that. Plus there's Gentlemen's Christmas Shopping Night and an evening of football to fit in as well.
Raise your glasses and all hail the ale.
