Evening
I'm sat inside for the first night in ages. I don't have anything to do and this puzzles me.

Not been to the well for a while... maybe 2 months.
tend to frequent the horse (post work drink or start of night), the star and garter, and the townhouse (friday live band night), but I go all over.
Used to go to the well a lot, mainly cos I knew a guy behind the bar so got cheap (free) drinks.
Have a horrible feeling I'll end up getting dragged to either Kelsey's or Koko's tomoro as its a friends birthday...

Try around 1998-2000, when I was doing my A-levels. It was vile. I got thrown out of there about once every two weeks.
Not done the quiz at the horse, yet. Quite often go to the Woodland Tavern for their quiz.
Yeah, I'm thinking I might slip out before any mention of Kokos...

My middle sister has
chosen her engagement ring. From Tiffany, the cheapest silver one from the design she wants is £10,000. But as she says, who wants silver...
