    Hi Swanfan,

    Quite an uneventful day - which is not bad news!

    How about you?
    Yep, good day. More work came in today, have a pub to start next Monday. Only snag is it's in Cambridge, 70 miles away. So a long commute.:eek:

    How do you decorate a pub? do you paint it, put pictures up & do the carpets too.

    Best keep quiet that i am a Liverpool fan as well then!:eek: Big John Toshack fan( hence Swansea & Liverpool supporter):o

    I'm not really knowledgeable - just that I had a massive "thing going on" with this bloke from Liverpool while we were students. Have never really forgotten about him - even though it was such a long while ago.

    I do remember the intense rivalry between Liverpool and Everton.

    Swanfan do you have any funny stories to tell us?
    Worked on a pub in Bedfordshire, stayed in a nearby hotel. Went into reception where a very attractive Indian girl sorted our rooms out. Next we went into the bar for a beer & the manager asked "What do you fancy fellows." One of the guys says " How bout the Indian in reception." The manager says " Oh you mean my wife?!" Uncomfy silence follows!:eek::eek:

    Ann could you look him up on Facebook? to see what he is up to. Or you could try friends re-united. Is he someone you want to see again/,

    The only reason i joined Facebook is because my mad friend (the one deciding whether or not to break up with her current boyfriend) wanted to see what her ex- was up to. After all the hassle he wasn't seeing anyone else and then she decided she didnt want him back!
