That's as secure as a bottle of Talisker within 100 miles of Spinola

Save a pub from your keyboard
HERE'S A GOOD WAY to preserve a great British tradition – the pub – from the safety of your own keyboard. Join runmypub.com for a mere £25 quid a year. It's even cheaper if you sign up at the Great British Beer festival currently being held at London's Olympia.
The site has been put together by Phil Womack and the whole thing is run like a club. Womack points out that in 2007, 57 pubs were shut down permanently each month.
Once the site has enough money in the kitty to consider a purchase, the members will be consulted and a vote taken on which pub to buy.
From then on the members will be consulted on every aspect of running the pub from the location of the pub; the type of pub; the décor; the entertainment, the beers, the food, and even the staff.
Obviously once the pub has been opened, then members will be invited to drink in it. But, for those too lazy to get out off their backsides, the site is intending to install a bunch of webcams.
The idea appears to have been stolen from myfootballclub.com which raised enough money to purchase Ebbsfleet United which is in the Blue Square Conference league.
The INQ can see Gordon Ramsay starting a similar site called runyourowneffingrestaurant.com µ

By the time the money is raised and a name settled on, Health and Safety will have outlawed darts. Good luck to a worthy cause though.
No Really!
I told the Financial Services Authority it was my intention to go belly-up!
Please inform HMRC to get their own excise. Non-share holders are not privy, Darling, and I'm just assuring quality overhead.
Cheers!
runyourowneffingrestaurant.com indeed! Fell out of my chair laughing over that one...

Even though I've never been to a Brit pub, I wish the group success. Anything to keep Brits in their usual drunken stupour... they're so much easier to deal with that way....;-)
I forgot to mention I found a source of beer for coeliacs [they're allergic to wheat, etc]. It's the Fine Ale Club and you can find them at www.ale4home.co.uk
Beer festival is actually at Earls Court, nice to see youre sticking ton the gret british tradition of getting half cut at lunch and cocking up in the afternoon
I for one think that we have enough pubs; and that instead of boozing on the weekend we should perhaps consider something new for a change.

How many times have I gone with mates to the pub only to drink and drink and drink. Besides getting drunk there seemed to be no substance to those outings. 

Maybe we should stop getting so drunk. After all, even if your objective is to drink constantly, there comes a point even a drunk cannot drink anymore. So naturally even that, is counter productive.

If we take away the alcohol maybe we could get more quality in pubs. People that are out to socialize, joke & generally have a good time.

An internet pub however, is not the answer. It does successfully isolate vomit from people & drunks trying to feel a woman up but; as much as I like chatting and cam chats etc there is simply no substitute for real life human interaction.
