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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love pubs and I love pub culture.
I don't have to hang around a pub, really, to get an idea. I usually visit it once, get the layout, the atmosphere, the feel of it.
Some people like going to the pub; I enjoy going to the gym.
I like being able to go to a local pub and have great food and particularly love pubs that welcome my dogs.
A pub can be a magical place.
Pubs are, disturbingly, where I hatch most of my best idea-sculptures: possibly it's something to do with the disinhibiting effects of alcohol, or maybe it's just having company to yack at.
Being in Oxford can be a bit like being on holiday - there's plenty of time spent in the pub.
People come up to me in pubs - gay pubs, mind you - and can't believe that I'm gay.
What I've realised is that when I walk into a club, I don't feel good, I feel uncomfortable. I wonder what to do, I look for my drink... it's not necessarily an enjoyable experience, so why would I put myself through that?
I don't go to pubs.
