When I came home on Monday night,
As drunk as drunk could be...

So, we're quite a hard-working department here in Bristol. We do lots of exciting things with the taxpayers money to advance computer technology blah blah blah, and the one bit that catches the eye of the tabloid papers is the fact that the Wearables group have invented a watch that locates pubs for you and can guide you home at the end of the night...

Could this be a song challenge?

That'll be the beer watch, Fibs, to go with the beer compass, the beer coat and the infamous beer goggles!

Heh heh! I saw the beer scooter thing in the BS: Humour Us, Chapter II thread yesterday. Perhaps the scooter uses the watch as its on-board navigation system.

I love the picture of the dypso collapsed over his pint!

I've told the story before, but it bears re-telling. When the M40 was first opened, there were Emergency Services erected near Oxford. At the roundabout, an entrepreneurial publican had put a sign up, announcing "Emergency Pub" with an arrow pointing the way to his inn!

*G*! I could do with an emergency pub - my local was closed for 2 whole days while they redecorated - it was really traumatic!
