So if your thinking of coming and scared of having no friends, fear not as there will be lots more weird than you (and we'd love to see you). Bring your wife, bring your girlfriend (bring your wife and your girlfriend), bring your boyfriend (we're open minded). Contact Doug now so he can tell the people down at 'Jack Flash' to order in a few more savaloys
