But then we would be GLUG? Which in itself, sounds like a bunch of 
pissheads(We at least have to keep up the facade of being sensible)

I have been to a few Meetings, which initially were held at Borders, which 
suited me as I worked in town, and usually worked late.(why was Borders 
finished with?, I always thought it was a good neutral place)

Now with a different job, i finish at 5, and normally dont fancy hanging 
around town for 2 1/2 hours before the meeting, which explains why I havn't 
been to one for a few years. Also being customer facing, and having a 9am 
appointment on Firdays I dont like to drink the night before, and I its 
against my irishness to go into a pub and not drink :)
