How do you drink a pint while wearing a mask? Straws? Ask Trump, he'd tell you to inject it. Tut. That's fake news, he was clearly being sarcastic.

So who's planning on getting straight down the pub on 4 July?
I'm going to leave it until the following week, let the initial rush happen. Maybe as soon as Monday 6th. One advantage of working from home is not having to drive to an office and feel hung-over, so school-night drinking is in...

I'm not a big pub drinker anyway, once or twice a month at most, so haven't really missed it that much. Like you, I'll wait until things settle down a bit first. When football starts again though, that will be a different matter, I'll be there straight away.

I have already booked my table for 1100 hrs and preordered my beer and I still have £89.76 behind the bar so I dont have to find any money,happy days.😁🍺😁🍺😁🍺😁🍺😁

But will it still be behind the bar after they've done their deep clean?

Pub gardens, maybe. Indoors, no thanks. However, if post lockdown results in pubs that are less crowded, where you are able to have a normal conversation without being deafening by a group of blokes shouting at each other, or false laughter loud enough to make your ears bleed, then some good will have emerged. Same for bistros with big tables of screeching women. I can do noise, having seen Zeppelin, the Who, Hawkwind, Pink Fairies etc, but don't see any purpose in a crowded pub where you have to shout to make yourself heard. Downright unhealthy these days too.

Here's where I want to be - but so will every other sod in Abingdon - www.thenagsheadonthethames.co.uk/about-us/ If we go out for a walk next Sunday and pass a pub that's not totally overflowing, will no doubt stop by.

So presumably you never go in a pub in winter, in flu season (flu kills thousands every year in the UK - I think it was 23000 5 years ago)? And you'll have had your heart checked regularly (450 deaths a day) and all the checks for different types of cancer (another 450 deaths a day)? Or are you exclusively scared of COVID?

I don't think someone is as good physical shape as Sennockian needs to worry about heart problems...
