I went to the (better) pub in town today for the weekly pub quiz, nice place. Or at least it was until the weasel barman decided to give us shit for not buying a drink as soon as we step through the door.
I was standing at the bar with Andrew and Emma as Andrew bought a beer, me and Emma didn't buy anything and the barman asked us if we were going to, we replied that we might later and he told us that we couldn't stay in the bar if we weren't going to buy a drink.
First off, it's not like we were just going to the pub to bum around, we were paying our way in the pub quiz, and were with someone that had bought a drink. Now if it was a busy night I might understand this, but there was hardly anyone in there, so it's not like we were taking up valuable floorspace.
Stretch eventually skulked off outside and we made our way upstairs to sit down, he then decided to visit us every five minutes to make sure we were going to buy a drink. We asked the other bar staff about the 'drink or door' policy and were met with confused replies and even a laugh or two. We only managed to get Buster Brown to leave us alone by getting a free glass of water for the both of us. Then he went back to his usual act of pretending we know him by making the odd awkward joke and looking at our quiz answers, like I'm going to forget he threatened to throw us out, prick.
In the end we came second in the quiz by one and a half points, almost annoying as two weeks before when we lost by half a point. It makes me glad that we misheard the question "What is the Islamic name for god?" and put down the Islamic name for 'dog', because a repeat performance might have sent me over the edge.
And remember, second is only the first loser.
Or as a WWE commentator recently said, "Losing is the great American sin." Really sums up that country.

When I got home I watched the last episode of series five of 24, that Jack Bauer sure is a legend. Although I did find quite a few parts of the series to be rather poorly written and generally cliché, I don't know if this is new or I'm just noticing it for the first time, but it's not a good thing either way.
I think I might start watching some more Eureka next, I've seen a couple of episodes and thought it looked pretty good. Two of the main actors just so happen to be appearing at the MCM expo in October, which I am very much looking forward to, it's gonna be great.
