Chelsea versus Liverpool, the Mint

Another epic night of both football and drinking at the Mint. And an Ann Summers party on the pool table.

When you sit down and prepare for the big match - possibly the biggest ever match in English football - and you see a notice on the back of a chair, blocking the pool table, which says 'Reserved' you assume it is a pool match, or something (although the Mint pub is not in any pool league... that's what made me start wondering). Then, ten minutes into the match, you see a whole bevvy of young, attractive women fumbling around bags full of lingerie... What do you do? Continue watching the match or alter your view to the left to look at all of these gorgeous women? I didn't know which way to look.

J is here, down for the night from Glastonbury. A brilliant, pulsating match, 150 people in the place, the atmosphere just electric. A classic night at the Mint. Brilliant.
