Running commute #11

After my and my anonymous friend with her anonymous blog‘s failed attempt at undertaking the Great Voucher Abuse Pub Crawl Challenge – which had it all gone to plan would have seen us using our get four bottles of Bud free vouchers at four Central London Pitcher & Pianos which would have meant 16 free bottles of Bud each with the slight possibility of a slight headache the next day – a few glasses of champagne later in a bar somewhere in Soho we decide to not be deterred and to continue on with the Great Voucher Abuse Pub Crawl Challenge on Monday albeit a mini version comprising of just the Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street branches, me rapidly forgetting that I had given up drinking.  Oops.

But Monday comes and I have to bow out of the GVAPCC due to having some web design work to do although I have officially given up web design and it would seem I’m as good as giving up web design as I am at giving up drinking and I spend Monday night adding PayPal buttons to a site instead of going out drinking and because I’m no good at giving up drinking we rearrange to undertake the GVAPCC on Tuesday instead.  Hurrah.

We get to the Liverpool Street Pitcher & Piano but they have no Bud.  Bollocks.  So armed with my trusty map we navigate our way down to the Fenchurch Street branch where I can see lots and lots of brown bottles with red labels with Budweiser written on them in white writing.  Hurrah.  I give the barman my voucher and he says sorry we’re not accepting the vouchers anymore.  Bollocks.  I say but it doesn’t run out ’til 29 February and he says sorry we’re not accepting them anymore so I say but it doesn’t run out ’til 29 February and he says sorry we’re not accepting them anymore and I say but it doesn’t run out ’til 29 February and he says company policy, or some such bollocks like that.  Grr.  So we go to another pub and get a bottle of wine and decide to give up on the GVAPCC and then I go home and I get up not particularly hungover and I do my running commute on the way home which is largely uneventful although it was my quickest commute ever, yay.
