I misses Aber, yar!!!

I thought I should post about why Aber's great and why I miss it.

I miss going to the Ship and Castle with all the lads: Baz, OT, Indie, Alex, Fisk and Paul Brasil when he drops by. Getting a guest ale for £2.20, or £2.40 depending on the bar staff, and maybe a few free games of pool during the day.

I think those days are all but gone for me. Won't be back in Aber till Sept 2007, but I'm sure I'll see some of the lads before then.

Aber's great cos if the weather's nice you can just while away the hours on the beach, and if it's bad outside you can pile into any of the great pubs. The Ship and Castle, The Castle, Coopers Arms, The Angel ( with IndieSoc. on Monday night ) and if you're up on the campus during the day you can nearly always get a pool table in the Union.

Not up for drinking, then why not see a film. Stuff the food from 24hr Spar into yer coat pockets and grab a pint in the bar under the cinema. Sit back and watch Revenge of the Sith while sippin' on Brains and muching down Wings n Wedges, beautiful!

Bored still, swing by the brown house, or even the pink house and there's sure to be a friendly face with something to talk about. With DVD rentals at £1.50 a pop from Pier Video and 50p back for an early return how can you possibly be stuck for stuff to do. But it's all nothing without the lads!

Waiting to collect
