Title: YAY! Corstrophine Run
Post by: red_phil on December 27, 2005, 08:23:02 PM
OK might not sound like much but I am just back from a pub crawl of my home town locals!
I'm not sure whether making it is a bigger achievement than typing this afterwards.

1) The Rainbow, danger of knifing and slippy tiles outside the pub. : 1 Pint McEwan's 80/-
2) The Centurion, danger of bookie clobbering and bad pints. : 1 Pint McEwan's 80/-
3) The Toby, danger of being tempted by the carvery and the hotel drone. : 1 Pint Belhaven's Best.
4) The Oak, danger of being lulled by works party mentality and general banality. : 1 Pint McEwan's 70/-
5) Agenda, AAAAAAARRRGHHHHH Save me from the white wash and willow screen suaveness.
  This place sucks the soul like hilton mosque. : 1 Whisky Mac (Whisky and Green Ginger wine)
5) The Winston, Danger of being sucked into the fact this used to be a laundrette
  and now the charges per cycle are even more extortionate. : 1 Pint Caledonian IPA.
6)The Carrick Knowe, AAAARGH, a pub next door top a bookies, how can I explain the horror at fining this place actually ok.
  & cheap.: 1 Pint Mc Ewan's 80/-
7) The Corrie Inn, oh, my local. actually I went to school with this place's manager.
  It's alright. and actually I drink here most weeks. odd to be here in this array of horrors. : 1 Pint Caledonian IPA.
8) Mr Rob's Flat. Ahhh, control of the jukebox and cheap spirits (free to be precise) : 5 shots of single malt (various)
9) Super market. DAMN! CLOSED. So much for 24 hour opening. at least if might help my diet.

Glad you made it home! I didn't know supermarkets are included in pub crawls!

Here in the states, we substitute Burger King, Taco Bell, Toddle House, IHOP, Denny's or Chubby's for the supermarket.

Nice work, my man!

I myself, on Christmas no less, challenged 5 people to a "flip cup" relay.
Standing alone with 5 full dixie cups, I out drank 5 grown men in a beer relay.   I'm so proud!

Thanks for the kindness of not poiting out I was too drunk to notice I posted this in the general forum rather than the odds and end one.
