    The most strange Friday night ever.

    Drinking at home is an option.

    Boz played a blinder yesterday, announced the pub closures as I was
    travelling home from work. There was confusion as to whether the closure applied to or after Friday night but I took no chances. Quick bath and I
    was heading to my regular haunt, which I have referred to as THE WINCHESTER
    for years on account of the fact that I always end up there. Fucker was
    closed! Spoons a couple of doors down was open, much quieter than it
    usually is even at breakfast time. Signs on each table warning us to leave
    the bar area as soon as we were served, not change tables and keep our
    distance from staff/other customers. Cool as fuck. My next favourite pub,
    where you're guaranteed to hear The Smiths or Joy Division if you stay for
    half an hour was alsc closed. The local irish bar was obviously open but I could only have one drink before they started playing northern cunting
    soul. My last option was the local football hooligan's pub, which is also
    my third favourite. Rough as fuck. As soon as you sit down someone comes
    over and tries to sell you lipsticks they've just shoplifted. Usually but
    not tonight. This one actually looks a lot like THE WINCHESTER inside, but filthy. They were actually putting the shutters down as we sat drinking
    Stella watching Boz standing behind a podium bearing the legend PROTECT THE NHS. I'll leave that there.

    The most strange Friday night ever.

    Not when the package-store closed itself for the plague starting two weeks ago. Such is Stone Mountain
