What are you watching tonight?

Dunno. Born too late .

He used to go for a pint in The Edge on a Friday lunchtime too. Proper teacher.

Going for a pint on a Friday lunch is now a complete anathema. What happened to it? I want it back!!!

It was de rigueur at one time. It stopped, but not after any reason, just fell out of fashion only about 15 years ago. I suspect a victim of a recession which meant a different mentality developed.

Younger people find it inexplicable.

To be honest, so do I these days.

It got moved to a Thursday. everyone goes home at lunchtime on a Friday now.

pubs in central London, especially the city, Farringdon etc, survive off the lunchtime trade. infact many of threm dont open on weekends or after about 8pm, but you can hardly move in them on a thrusday dinner!

Missed this last night. The mention of the Lea Valley White Water Rafting Centre is where I do my open water swimming training. In fact, I'm there tomorrow!

Friday lunch-time pints were a delight. Two pies and a pint and a half in the Railway at Bradley Fold or the Top Bull on Bury Road. Health and Safety today makes a lot of sense since we were in an engineering firm and foundry back then. Luckily, nobody got killed whilst part inebriated.

Thursday is definitely the new Friday, in London at least. I think pubs there benefit from the fact that nobody drives though too.

Actually, thinking about it, given our new Yank-induced compliance regs, nipping out for a beef barm and a pint of Timmy Taylor's on a Friday lunchtime is now possibly a sack-able offence.

Have these people absolutely no respect for our customs and traditions?

[Bruce Rioja]

Anyway - LF have just informed me that the William the White recommended Cesar must Die is on its way to me.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Finally fell for it and watched The Worlds End. What a load of crap.

[LeverEnd]

The lunchtime pint was still acceptable when I started teaching 15 years ago. Not much is allowed these days.

After the Wonderful 'Hot Fuzz' it really was a disappointment wasn't it ?

For the first time in years, we have been having a sneaky pint with lunch on recent Friday's, in the real ale place on the market. I wouldn't do it if I had an afternoon meeting, but it's a nice way to start the wind down to the weekend.

Think I might saddle up and watch Dawn Raider. tonight. Westerns are pretty rare these day and it doesn't look to have too bad reviews.

Tango - My stepfather is a Western devotee. Whenever they used to put a Western on on TV on a Sunday afternoon he'd invariably ruin it for the rest of us, him having seen it in 1950+odd at 'The Belle'?

Any decent recent ones I can buy for him on DVD that you'd care to recco?
