    :D Yep... there was a big difference in the two of em before the concert and after. We thought they'd like that place and all :( that was why we picked it, wasn't it?

    I know. and to think how much time and effort we put into choosing the place aswell.. :o

    :rolleyes: open door of first pub ... look around ... spot first pub across street ... stumble across street ... open door to new pub
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    first some of us stopped for a smoke. then we discussed which bars there were near us. and THEN we stumbled across the street.

    I don't really remember it being much of a discussion :p it was more "erm.... so.... let's keep walking... THERE'S A BAR!!!"

    I quite honestly don't remember the transition from one to the other, to be honest. :confused:

    Much further than the distance between the mall/station and the bar... and I still got lost. ;):D

    Ha, well quiet yes, but then have you ever walked in on a party where everyone is completely smashed, yet you're very sober? You should've hung on, I soon caught up. :D
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I think we were looking for a larger variety of drinks... or something. Maybe the first place didn't sell jager?

    I think it was the lure of the Jager... and wanting somewhere to sit down :)

    damn. I remember talking to SOMEONE about the bars we were near of.. but maybe that was waaaayyyy before we went out. :o


    and yeah, the noisiness of the first bar was the reason for our departure. :p

    I'm not quite sure... they're saying it was noisy... but the football ended :D then they said they wanted somewhere to sit down... there were PLENTY of seats :D and I had about 5 jager's in that place so it can't be that they'd no jager :D

    so basically... I dunno!
