Oh, it is. There's nothing better than downing a nice warm pint of jizz after a long hard day at work.

I think you've completely missed the irony of my post.

Wot only five.....The Lion at Basford, Nottingham...just a great pub with ever-changing menu of beers, nice garden overlooking disused factories and the tramline!! The Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham - bit touristy, but an amazing building. The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool - not really a pub, but the place to go if you're there - great bookshop attached. The Castle Hotel, Dornoch - they don't relly do pubs up here, but the Castle has good beer, great food, and a roaring log fire in winter, and one of the prettiest villages in northern Scotland (as well as a serious golf course if that's your tipple). The Blue Boar in Aldbourne - good solid Wadworth's pub, but gone a bit foodie. Any pub that serves Deuchars IPA at a decent temperature.

I used to take an occasional trip....pun intended, to The Blue Boar, because of its association with Doctor Who. Long time ago now, but an early Who favourite was the 71 Daemons, which was set in Aldbourne. The Blue Boar was called the Cloven Hoof....the Daemons were at rest in a nearby round barrow....The Master....Peter Delgado...was vicar in Aldbourne, and hoped to control The Daemons...etc fB should make a pilgrimage...

Oh and the village is nothing like it was portrayed to be in 'Band of Brothers', but the veterans did, until recently, come back for occasional reunions. they were actually stationed on Membury Aerodrome, which is couple of miles out of Aldbourne.

Only just seen this, in Swindon my faves are The Savoy (just for curry Thursday), The Beehive and The Steam Railway, afraid i'm another who likes well kept real ale, I wont really entertain a pub if it doesn't have a decent selection!
A bit further afield:
Prince of Wales - Cardiff Volunteer Riflemans - Bath Allied Arms - Reading (my lunchtime local) Mad Bishop and Bear - Paddington Station (just for convenience and an excellent pint of Fullers) Square & Compass - Worth Matravers (I also like my Cider and there's no where better for that)
and overseas:
Delirium Cafe - Brussels (over 2,000 different beers and the best atmosphere I have experienced in a pub away from football) CK Browar -Krakow (microbrewery and the perfect stag party destination!)
