Pub Scrabble

This weekend has furthered my assertion that I really love Oxford.

Yesterday I met up with a bunch of hypnosis people in town for drinks, dinner and a spot of pub hypnosis. I had a lot of fun and as usual I've written all about it in my other blog, BlackMeridian.

Anyway, today I had the pleasure of meeting up with a couple of them who had stayed overnight in Oxford before facing the long drive home. We found a nice pub, the Lamb and Flag, and sat down to some lunch and a game of scrabble.

There is just something about the pubs in Oxford that really appeals to me. They're my kind of pub, even late in the evening. The atmosphere is always friendly and it's actually possible to socialise because there's no loud music and you can hear what other people are saying.

In any case, I have yet to be in any other pub where the loudest source of noise is a heated debate in very posh accents about the intricacies of Viking battle dress. I kid you not!

I have also confirmed to myself that I am still rubbish at Scrabble.
