A collection of updates to earlier blogs

Following on from “Running Gag (2)”, which in turn followed “The Subtle Insult”..

I was getting drunk in the pub with the landlords daughter (a couple of days before her dad threatened to shoot me) and a mate, when one of them mentioned (and the other agreed) that I look a bit like Bryan McFadden..

.. good to see that 2 years on, word of the running gag has reached Salford!

Following on from “Establishing Stella“, I think I might have got the complex drink establishment calculation slightly wrong.

I went in the other night, had the obligatory Stella, then a Smirnoff Ice “onto the girly drinks already mcphee!” said Dennis the barman.

Went in last night, couldn’t face a Stella, so had a pint of cider, thinking it was a nice happy medium between a MAN’s drink and a girly drink. “you do like your girlie drinks don’t you” said Dennis the barman.

I suspect he’s seen through my cunning ploy.

Following on from several mentions of the threat of getting shot in a misunderstanding over the landlords daughter..

It’s a long complicated story, involving karaoke singers, pretend couples, massages, and the landlord’s daughter. The end result of which was the landlord threatening to introduce me to his rifle.

But I’ve hinted at that story before, and only mention it again now that it’s happened again..

As soon as I got into the pub on Friday, Dennis the barman pulled me to one side “Just a word of warning mate, the landlord has a shotgun behind the bar tonight”.

Seconds later the landlord spotted me and came striding over, Dennis intercepted him and said “I’ve told him about the shotgun”. Landlord gave me “the look” and walked away.

So if I suddenly stop blogging again, it’s probably not because I’m lazy, or uninspired, I’m probably shot by an angry Salford landlord!

sidenote: I don’t think I helped my cause later that night, went to a few other pubs with my mate, his gf, and landlords daughter. We got back late, Landlord gave me “the look”, and I gave him a huge drunken grin..
