It's absolutely fine. Take an actual book, rather than playing with your phone. It looks like you intended to be on your own, and it's a better prop for both inviting conversation and getting it to go away if you find it annoying. Yep, that's right. I'm an expert. Who'd have thunked it? I quite like going for a curry on my own. It's all fine, so long as you are an actual human being in your own right, and not just an appendage of someone else's life. Being used to drinking in the pub on your own? Me, I thought it! |

This is actually good advice and it will make people think I read books. |

It's OK to go to a pub on your own. As long as you don't mind all the bar staff and patrons to think the following: 1. You have no friends 2. You have been stood up by a Tinder date (edit - as she walked in, saw what you looked like in real life, then turned on her heels and legged it out of there). 3. No one wants to go to the pub with you because of your ridiculous leather jacket 1. Wouldn't bother me 2. Some women are probably overwhelmed with arousal by my manly good looks. 3. It's a craft beer pub, so a ridiculous garment by my standards will probably look a little plain in there. Looks like I'm going! |

Hello.
I’ve been tricked into going back into the office in the afternoon instead of sneaking back home from my site visit.
Bloody management.

I see Tim Lotts family column has also come to an end today. My spider sense is twitching that there is some purge afoot in the bowels of the G. Who'd have thought communists would purge anyone? Keef got out at the right time. |

I'm no longer in pre-mod in the other place! Woohoo! I'm going to start making utterly generic comments on articles I've only skim-read,just to see if I can earn my freedom. With any luck I'll be out of pre-mod just as the Graun stops allowing comments on anything |

Pyjakson - why would you have reservations about going to the pub on your own? It's much better than going with other people

Pyjakson - why would you have reservations about going to the pub on your own? It's much better than going with other people I imagine it would be, I've just never done it before. I'm also meeting someone later and I'm worried the lack of conversation will have me drinking at three times the usual speed without me realising it. |

It's a slippery slope |

How do you become a raging alcoholic while pretending to maintain some public decency if you don't ever go to the pub on your own?

What's everyone having for dinner then? I fancy an Indian takeaway but the misses wants a Chinese takeaway. Seeing as I will be the on both paying for and arranging for said takeaway we will therefore be having....Chinese probably.

It's a slippery slope Yeah, my mate was drinking craft beer on his own before we watched the scottish cup final one year. Before he was thrown out the pub by a bouncer at around 4.30pm, he turned round at the urinals to show me that he "had good length, but could do with a bit more girth". I've never let him forget that line. I'm hoping not to end up in that state. Especially as I won't know the guy at the urinal. |
