Northern Voice - After a Pale Ale
There’s a back channel on Skype where we heard about the lunch movement - venturing over to the pub for some food and a pint. The fish and chips were excellent but the wait was horrific. Not only was there a healthy blogger conference representation but there was a football (English football) match on the tube. This of course lead to a almost-too-long-to-be-tolerated wait for our bevies and bill. No worries though, John and I weren’t up for rushing back to catch the 2:00pm sessions and we’re now left with plenty of time to upload photos, chit chat, and prepare for the presentations at 3:30pm.
I’m on cup 3 of coffee but that’s now being mixed with a pint of G.I. Pale Ale so I’m going pretty strong. So far, lots of great stories, fascinating people, and despite the fact that I can’t wait to encounter even more of these experiences - I’ll totally be ready to crash tonight.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling the effects of some booze after lunch.

I think I could have used more

I think you mean a rugby game, when you say ‘football.’ It was 6-nations, Wales vs. France.

Hehe - okay that would explain the guys in Wales t-shirts. We were sitting way over in the corner, about the only place you couldn’t SEE a TV (and the waitress couldn’t see us)

Beers are lunch are basically required in some countries so i figure, … Who i am to cause a potentially diplomatic maelstrom my not drinking a pint with my repast?
