Ordering a Beer has never been this easy

On Saturday I journeyed over to The Grand Union near Westbourne Park tube, for a friend's birthday. (I settled on a Harold's Planet card entitled "How the Internet really works")

Sat on a train on the Hammersmith & City line, I though the lady sitting opposite looked rather familiar. I was sure I'd seen her on television. Newsreader, perhaps? When her phone rang and I heard her (fairly distinct) voice, I was certain that I recognised her. I now know that it was Sarah Smith, from Channel 4 news. Novelty.

At the pub I ordered an ostrich burger from the nicely varied menu, and it wasn't long after I sat down that it arrived at my table: quick service and excellent food. If that wasn't good enough, when I had finished my beer I simple had to turn on my seat and the bar was right next to me! This place was certainly racing up through the ranks of my favourite pub experiences.

There was a good crowd of us there, and I met a few new people, actually found out the names of a few people who I recognised from Uni but never really spoke to, as well as seeing some more familiar faces. Of course, there was a token tonnie or two, too.

Sadly I had to leave early-ish to get back home so I missed out on the drinking games back at someone's flat, but I did need to be on form for Sunday to carry on with the seemingly endless task of moving stuff from old house to new.
