quiet pub
We have long wanted to visit the Pembury Tavern, and we got round to it last night. We tried some nice beers, and I had a ploughmans with some interesting cheeses. Then we tried a game of pool, and then spotting their list of board games to borrow, we had a go at Carcassone.

As well as the interesting games, it's an unusual pub - no smoking, no music, fairly spartan decoration. This is partly because it's new, maybe it will fill out a bit in time. Anyway, I like being able to have a quiet drink.

Hopefully we'll go back there, or I'll drag some of you along. It is just round the corner from Hackney Downs station, which was quite convenient for us to get the train home, and there are frequent trains between there and Liverpool Street.

It's not that new - it is owned ny a sysadmin though. Been there a couple of times. Oh, and I guess if they're doing ploughmans, they might have got the kitchen finished, but last time I was there, you could order takeaways for delivery and eating there.

I think it's a sysadmin we were at uni with.

I think it's a sysadmin who supervised me for a course at uni, but I didn't recognise him on Monday.

Or to be more precise, I wasn't sure if I recognised him on Monday, and was too shy to risk asking.

Ah here we go, I don't know him, but obviously fair number of sysadmins that I know do - http://www.greenend.org.uk/steve/

Can't be that bad if they stock Carcassone ;)
