I have a lash up every Friday. It's all about having a good laugh with me, I'm not one of those people who can sit in a pub alone with a drink, I'd rather not drink if I was alone but I'll lash around 20 pints down my neck on a typical Friday before I call it a night (which is usually around 6:00 Saturday morning lol).
I enjoy it, for that one night I forget about all my stresses and problems over a few ales in good company with good people.
Cheers .
