PRO TIP: the song can’t be back to back to find something equally annoying to play in between or use that time for songs you really want to hear.

Works for me because I always want to listen to On A Rope.

It’s a formality really, there’s nobody else in that half of the pub on Monday nights anyway, for some reason.

The perfect pubs have no televisions and no music, and no banging doors or loud southerners stood at the bar, and isn’t overly lit but not too dark that you can’t read, and has a couple of quiet, tired dogs in, and a barman/barmaid who’s not overly fussy but on it enough to spot when you want a top-up, and a good selection of quality snacks and some variant of pastry product available, and a comfy armchair or two in corners or alcoves, and a couple of newspapers lying about with communal crosswords (no cheating), and a selection of assorted curmudgeony locals who converse only in nods and mumbles, and maybe an open fire, and obviously a good combination of strong continental lagers, well-kept hoppy cask ales, a stout or porter and a few rare spirits.

It’s not a rule as such but it tends to be a quiet pub night, so there’s less chance of someone stealing our lunch money.

Kids in pubs are fine by me but, much like dogs, its all down to the owners. Some of us get it, lots sadly don’t.

The light fittings you bang your head on and the lack of an actual pint priced under £6.50

More Cambridge pub chat: I was in the Blue the other day and there was some absolute haircut of a lad who was hands down the surliest bartender I’ve ever seen.

Hang on, which way around are we voting here?

I like a beer garden, but wouldn’t leave a pub that didn’t have one.
