In my hometown there is a pub named after me - The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!
I once worked in a pub. I couldn't add up to save my life, but I could pull the pints.
James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band. . . as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub.
Ignore the trade-pub narratives about how little success indies enjoy.
I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.
I love those people who do story-telling and who ramble on, but I don't do that, I tell jokes - the sort of jokes that anyone really could tell in the pub.
I love Tate Modern; there's such great style and shopping here. I love the galleries and the pubs out on the street, just having your pint as the sun is setting.
I have a theory that musicians recognize each other and if they are destined to collaborate together they will. Mainly, they recognize each other according to the class they belong to. If they are punk-rocker kids from the neighborhood, they are going form a band. If they happen to be musicians that are going to play in pubs and restaurants, they are going to recognize each other, form a band and play together. If it's about musicians that are playing jazz and are going to jazz festivals, for e. g. , then they are going to meet and work together.
Contrary to what you think, not all preternatural beings hang out at the local Supernatural Pub looking for humans and dates.
Dublin was turning into Disneyland with super-pubs, a Purgatory open till five in the morning.
I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet.
Looking back, I spent a lot of time sitting in pubs when I should have been perfecting my playwriting.
Three women walk into a pub and say, `Hooray, we've colonised a male-dominated joke format'
Will there be any bartenders up there in Heaven, will the pubs never close?
I'd like to think. . . that people in pubs would talk about my poems
Let's all go and be feminists in the pub.
You meet a better class of person in pubs.
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
In a proper pub everyone there is potentially, if not a lifelong friend, at least someone to lure into an argument about foreign policy or the Red Sox.
A lot of country pubs will receive Michelin stars
