If you drank the 5,800 pints, one after the other, you'd only get one hangover.

Albeit quite a big one.

:D

;)
 
Is this a joke or was it another "expert". To keep it simple if you had 58 "drinking years" it's less than 2 pints per week !

Yeh ... that's gotta be what they mean. 58 drinking years is normal. I'm at around 52 right now and counting:drunk: And that's not counting the nips I took from my grandad's bottle of scotch when I was still wearing short pants.:cool: Two pints a week, eh. Mmm ... So I'm off to catch the No. 1 bus to meet my drunken buddies Sid Wright, Ray Barker, Donald Vaughn, Ian Wade, Johnny Marsden etc. at the Junction.;) On the way down Rishton Rd. I see the bus pulling out. Should I run for it, or call in the Village for a pint. Village wins out. Another try for the bus. Damn missed another one. Ok ... into the Forts for another pint, and then .... wait a goddam minute ... I've just had my weekly allowance:mad:

Eric, did you ever try the Route No 1 pub crawl? Forts Arms to Black Dog? It took me three days! :D

Funny you should mention it, but just the other day when reading the pubs thread, I tried to remember all the pubs that the No. I stopped at. It seems, though my memory may be playing tricks on me, that just about every stop was a pub.:theband: I can't remember them all:o I started with the Village Blacksmith ... not really a stop; but the bus did go up Rishton Rd. then turn around on Bayley St. before heading down to the stop at the Forts (or at that disgusting bog:eek:) ... from then on it becomes hazy. I think there was a Rose and Crown on Sparth Rd. and the Lamb Inn ... the Load, of course ... but after that, it's all confused until the Black Dog. I tried the crawl a couple of times ... don't think I ever made it, although once I ended up in the cut:eek:
 
No, I can't remember them all now. Must admit I did it the wimps' way...in three stages, going home for some shut eye and nosh in between. Now a REAL drinker would've done it in one go, sleeping in the bushes or wherever along the route! ;)
