Was in my local pub out here on Tuesday night, which has a – much nicer, quieter – private members bar. Me being sort of person who doesn’t like standing in a tightly packed crowd of drunk people in the bar at the weekends, I sought out the manager and asked about membership. Apparently, because I spend so much money in the place (I’m in there most nights) and I’ve never been involved in any trouble, I qualify for membership free 
So, I have to go back this evening to sort that out and have a free drink or two. Nothing like a little bit of elitism 
The big advantage is that I can bring along guests, so the lads can all come up.
