Exactly. And it's not like we were just sitting there not buying anything because we both had pints in front of us, we weren't drunk and it was only 12 o clock so he wasn't closing. He let the other people there stay.

Crap happens like that sometimes Shpud. Let it roll off you.

We mentioned it in the village group chat and none of the young people will be going there anymore. My parents said the owner was probably drunk because he's like that but it still irks me

It's a thing that happens in small towns sometimes, might find a publican who really just wants their buddies in the place because they are winding down, or they have ideas in their heads about young folk..

That really doesn't make any sense at all. But as Grem said, just let it roll off and move on

There were American tourists there that weren't asked to leave and there's been times me and my friend have stayed in that pub until about half one drinking. The only other two peope there were old fellas who knew us and were going to buy us drinks before we were asked to leave.

Sounds like a small town/village thing to happen, bit like Grem said

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:02pm

We had a lad running a pub that would go from buying all your drinks one evening to roaring at you before you got in the door another.

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:12pm

Ah what can you do. We're going to a different pub next week where there's a friend's 18th which should be good.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:23pm

Doin the exact right thing there.

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:30pm

I'd like to think so anyway

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:31pm

You are. How are you feeling now?

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:35pm

Lots of pain tonight. Watching Netflix and chilling to pass the time. How about you?

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:37pm

Work, tunes and tea.

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:41pm

Not too bad

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:47pm

Must check rain radar to see how i'm fixed for outdoors

What ya watching on netflix?

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:51pm

New series of Big Mouth. Hope I don't have to go outside tomorrow if it's raining. Not sure I'll be able to get my steps in.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 10:52pm

Are you on the road tomorrow?.

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 10:54pm

Thankfully not. I had a good day going to Galway today though in fairness even though I was in a lot pain to walk.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:06pm

Same here lately, mobility very up and down.. Ah well, still going.

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 11:10pm

Lots of talk about wheelchairs this week for me unfortunately

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:15pm

Lovely.. Don't know what's next up for me.. Lot of head scratching going on..

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 11:23pm

Indeed. The future is an uncertainty.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:27pm

Hell yeah, the one thing i try to do most is not let my mind wander too far ahead or behind

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 11:33pm

Yeah the advice I follow is to go one day at a time. At most the end of the month is as far as I plan. After that the future is incredibly vague.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:35pm

Planning some things i don't mind i guess, i try not to let me get in to 'what if' mode..There be danger.. Grem goes off down the black hole of anxiety

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 11:40pm

I'm exactly the same. Been doing better the past few days to not worry like that.

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:44pm

It's damn hard to keep at it, i lose my way frequently and find myself spiralling but i'm trying to learn how to catch myself..

Shpud2 · 13-10-2018 11:54pm

Yeah I lose my mind on regular occasions

Gremlinertia · 13-10-2018 11:56pm

I like to think i've settled a bit but i still get wobbles

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 12:03am

Hopefully it's something I'll get better st dealing with as I get wise and mature like you.

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 12:27am

*blushes* Ah you're a clever one. You'll be ok..

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 12:45am

Sometimes i fear that's a bad thing. Only makes the overthinking worse.

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 12:48am

That's a whole other argument, bit philosophical, would being ignorant be more blissful?. I think you are going to have some amazing conversations with people when you hit college.

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 12:53am

Ignorance is so much better. When they told me things about pain and the future when i was younger i didn't know what it meant and it didn't bother me. No i know how bad things are going to be bad so I'd prefer to still be ignorant.

Conversations about what?

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:00am

Things like the advantages of ignorance in certain situations

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:07am

True. I like to apply my experiences to debates. We do them a lot in religion and I enjoy them.

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:14am

Nice, it's good to give that part of the brain a run out sometimes.

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:19am

I think so. It's nice to also have have conversations with people who you can just talk to easily. I'd say I'd be able to talk like that with a few people from Boards.

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:23am

Yeah there's such a variety of people here and then certain places people kinda gather and gravitate

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:24am

Yeah so much variety it's made. Such an interesting cross section of society. I'd love to go to a Boards beers sometime

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:26am

Haven't been to one myself..

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:28am

I've only met one Boardsie myself and it was interesting. She was a lovely woman, nice to talk to. I'd like to meet more especially from the where are you right now thread

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:31am

I met two, neither here anymore though i think.

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:35am

Always a shame when a poster closes their account. (Says the guy on his third account)

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:39am

Haha well these two did say they were going, there's others who just disappeared leaving an air of mystery

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:41am

To be fair I've done the same. Didn't think I'd be coming back when i left either.

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:44am

It happens, i try not to let myself get too bogged down.. People have a lot going on elsewhere

Shpud2 · 14-10-2018 1:49am

Very through. We could choose to portray a very one sided view of ourselves here if we wanted

Gremlinertia · 14-10-2018 1:53am

I'd say it's very escapist for some, whereas i would have been much more myself here than in real life in the early days..
