And anyone with any sense would be using their pubs as another business, right now. And I'll add. Pubs and Bookies wouldn't give two fecks about anyone else if it was rolls reversed and they could open and others couldn't.

Or better still, i8 and Alim can just wank each other off via PM. I'd be interested in a list of places that are open for takeaway drinks.

Torphin in Corstorphine (ex Oak Inn) £3.50 for a pint of Tennents or Innis & Gunn. If the weather holds this afternoon I might stroll along for a couple after working in the garden.

Tazio Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Ye Olde Inne in D Mains has been doing it since last week. The first day was pretty annoying for those of us still doing social distancing as lots of people were sat outside On the low wall at the front of the pub, or randomly scattered on benches. Then the poor staff had to sweep up all the empty plastic bottles people had abandoned due to being stupid arseholes with no regard for anyone else.

It's being a responsible adult who cares about the welfare of others. We all want to meet our mates, go to the pub, eat in restaurants, have BBQs etc. But we're better to ease out of lockdown safely than to **** it all up and be back at square one, making the last few months of sacrifice a waste of time. Well said that man. There will be a few folk I do t speak to after lockdown. Neighbours can bolt. They’ve broke the rules so many times. Sick of these twits and they are the first to moan when lockdown is extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not a bird that can be caged and I am struggling mentally if truth be told and the depression is rearing its ugly head. Nihilism is a good word for my state right now and covers it well.

I couldn't tell you for certain as apart from losing my grandad I had never felt as awful as I did. Not that it would have mattered because it seems these things are trivial matter nowadays when the discussion of Coronavirus rears it's ugly head. That is all that matter now. I don't think I'll ever fully be the same person after this. I am now nihilistic person. Not angry just lost all ****ing hope. Will just live my life for my family and friends and do what the **** I like. Hope your doing well I8. Missing the Gym! Shame you don't look at it another way? A lot of people are seeing this as a second chance to do things they always wanted to do ( leave a boring job etc) and looking forward to the virus if it disappears. Think positively .

tian447 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Back on topic: How do the takeaway pints work? Do you get handed a bottle, or can, or is it like a pint in a McDonald's cup with a lid? If you're wanting to meet up with pals and have a swally, would you still not be better off just heading to Tesco and buying 4 chilled cans for £4, rather than one pint for the same price at a pub, especially given you can't actually sit in the pub in the first place!

Pans Jambo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Did this at The Seaglass pub in Port Seton. Take away pints of any beer/lager for £4 and as they serve food there, they were also doing take away grub as well. Trouble was, about a dozen or so feckwit morons were standing in the street getting pished. Throwing the food cartons on the street and going behind the pub to pish against the wall. Wasnt long before the police turned up and shut the whole thing down. I have to question what it is that would make a grown man stand in the high street drinking beer in a plastic cup?
