When you get to Bristol...

From what i've heard and my experience of beer prices in this part of the world, beer in uni bars is about £1 or £1.50 a pint whereas in the town it'll be more like £2.40 upwards (maybe £2 for ale).

lol, we'll see won't we. Rafa's European Champions are full of surprises.

@Haz - Yeah, i'm sorry. It was a bit harsh - harsh but true.

Not too bad at all, I guess the trick is to get a few in at uni bars then go on out. Can't help but feel a bit excited, because I've seen how many nice looking bars there are just along park street and down into the docks area alone!

Yeah, you can affiliate to a hall, pay JCR subscriptions and basically join in with all their ents.

i would have thought some halls would have sky, or perhaps subscriptions cost more for a hall than a house, i dunno.

Thanks for the advice, I will certainly be sure to conduct a large part of my drinking there. I really hope the Hiatt Baker bar is as good as it looks, because I saw the one in CHH and that looked rather small and generally disjointed. Out of interest, how much more expensive is it to drink out compared to hall bars? (a rough estimate would do fine )

What about those who get put into student houses? (Still havnt heard from accomodation yet - a tad worried as others seem to be getting offers) Can you still hang out at hall bars?

is everyone on TSR and blocking me on MSN or something?

most upsetting.

like their complete and utter lack of ability to perform in the premiership

Most of the halls have freeview, not Sky. Sorry!

Well, that's a bit crap, isn't it? A place selling alcohol without Sky Sports? That's lunacy. Well, i'm afraid i will have to take my business elsewhere whenever LFC are on Sky.

Which made beating Roman's millions and the miracle of Istanbul all the sweeter, my friend.

Hall bars are put in the same class as standard pubs/bars etc in terms of the entertainments license needed for Sky. It would cost about £3000 a year.

ah, thought there would be a good reason.... seems a bit silly though, seeing as the bar isn't a public place (is it?).

Just a thought, do many halls have dart boards, pool tables, etc?

ahem. 1-0 at anfield. That was sweet

What? The league game? You seem to be confusing the word "sweet" with "cheat". Or did Tiago not realise he wasn't actually playing in a basketball match?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Being 3 nil down at half time and coming back to win the European Cup for the 5th time. Now, that was sweet. Beating you lot by a dodgey goal at Anfield in the semi was just a warm up.

Speaking of dodgy goals...

Luis Garcia scored the winner which never was i seem to recall!
