It's all about genetics mate but also about Newton's law... You lot down there have got it bad where hangovers are concerned due to the lack of gravitational pull.

All that flying time to arrive in Australia when in actual fact the plane is doing circles to fly into the southern state of the US. Now I understand why you guys are so similar to the Yanks when it comes to sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of us were having a beer one evening and one of the blokes in the group told us about one time he was with another group of blokes on some course up in the outback areas of Scotland somewhere one time. They only had one pub in the area and it was a proper old fashioned one, anyway, they got in with a group of locals and made a proper evening of it one night on the last night consuming vast amounts of whiskey apparently and when it came to kicking out time they were invited back to someones abode to continue the merriment.. He said he already felt pretty wrecked but went along anyway as you do when alcohol takes over and they found themselves wandering about some fields and hills and stuff until they came to this old house.. Anyway they got there and a load more whisky was consumed until each of them passed out at various points in the early hours and he said he couldn't remember when he conked out but when he woke it was proper pitch black in the place.. He said his throat was so parched and dry he was gagging so eventually managed to find his way to the kitchen.. he managed to find and turn the water tap on and was just about to hold his mouth under it when this hand touched him on the shoulder and said in a very deep Scottish accent... "We don't drink water here" He said that was enough for him and thought it best to get the hell out.... it's was obviously a lot more humorous when you can get that Scottish accent in at the end there but amusing all the same... Some people are born to consume large amounts of alcohol with little or no after affects and then there are the rest of us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to a rooftop terrace in the Piccadilly Circus area mate and have never heard of one. To be honest, if there were one I wouldn't go to it because it would surely be jam packed with tourists. @Danny's recommendation I can vouch for that it's brilliant as I've been to that one too myself a number of times. But I've found this for you, don't know if you've seen it. https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-pubs/londons-best-rooftop-bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted May 8, 2018 Administrator Share Posted May 8, 2018 @Danny @SirBalon @Bluewolf Ventured out in to London as planned yesterday and went to a rooftop bar called Bar Elba which is right outside Waterloo station. Not that I've been to many but I would recommend it should anyone visit London or is find themselves around that area. We went during happy hour (between 4pm and 6pm on weekdays) and despite it being a Bank Holiday, we only had to queue up for a short time as they operate a one-in one-out policy. Decent selection of cocktails and lots of seating areas to chill out and enjoy the views and blazing sun. Didn't end up going Madison though but it's still on the list!

I can't remember what it was called but when we used to bunk the trains to Waterloo in our youth we used to go over the bridge and down the other side of the river there used to be a river boat pub down there somewhere... that was always a good crack to start the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
