depends on the place and the day, few places quid a pint. nowhere is expensive really, can't afford to be with all the competition. gauranteed a good night if you end up in the queen of hearts.

Not bad! If you like your beer, get in the Temple bar. You know the 24 hr Maccys? Walk from there in the direction of the uni, about 200yards along on the right are some steps leading down. It used to be a public toilet, now a bar with many nice beers!

next weekend and the weekend after will be pretty big as people will be out celebrating the end of exams. my mission is to see how many different pubs I can have a pint in within one week. only problem is that after a few pints I'll forget which pubs i have been in

Wear a white plain t-shirt and write which boozer youve been in on the t-shirt.

thats a quality idea! i reckon the beer that always ends up down my t shirt by the end of the night will ruin it though! still, its a challenge! also going to see how many different pints a can drink in one day.

Use marker pen. Could be a good talking point with the birds too - then you can get their phone numbers
