Presumably for that authentic Wetherspoons feel and smell, you'd have to screw a little number to the table, rip the (empty) toilet roll holder off the wall, place some used chewing gum under your chair and pour some indeterminate but very sticky substance over the bar lounge carpet?

There's no way am I ruining my dining table, I'm out 😉
So so far we've got one person who wants to sell stolen goods and one other who thinks it's all a bit fake and wants to start a fight and me sitting in the corner with a book.
What would it include? There is an app called "house party" - not the same of course but you can multi screen your computer and get all your mates to dial in and get pissed together...
Dunno - just saw that there was such a thing. A pub quiz, some conversation? I haven't really thought it through...if you had 30 people all online at once it probably wouldn't work would it?
To be honest, the pub quiz I was thinking if doing wouldn't be by video, just a thread on here but with everyone having a drink (alcoholic or soft for the teetotalers), and a chat, with the quiz element too.
We had something like this with my work colleagues earlier. 49 people on a Skype video call all with a drink of their choice in their hands.
Truth be told it was horrific. People trying way too hard to be "funny" in that very polite way that just sounds far too superficial. No doubt everyone will say it was a great success because nobody wants to be the one to give the bad news, so we will probably have another one next week.
I think the only way to put paid to it might be for someone to go proper Guns of the Navarone, get drunk, start swearing and telling "blue" jokes. I may just be the person to take one for the team .....
Really? Did something similar with my team yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Not the same as going to the pub on a Thursday (our normal thing) but a decent alternative. That being said none of our guys have to try too hard to be funny and definitely none are superficial!
Well up for a Charlton “virtual pub” we aren’t even in full lockdown in London yet and I feel like I’m climbing the walls!

Nah, we’d know by now. Being a Charlton fan means you have to be really awkwardly introduced to any other person in your organisation who has a passing interest in us.
Might do a 'pub quiz' on here one night if anyone is interested?
Basically all sit down and have a drink at home, a chat about what you're all drinking, doing, and I'll set some questions?
Let me know and I'll think about how it might work!
Kahoot is good for quizzes. But the free version is limited to ten people at a time. I've got some that I did for my family at Christmas. I could put them up later if anyone fancies it.

"Who do you support?" "Charlton" "Who" "Charlton. It's a place in South East London, near Green witch?" "Oh right. Cosmic...."

It’s normally something like:
”oh, I meant to tell you, you’re not the only Charlton fan here - Dave in accounts is a big supporter too” ”oh cool, yeah, there’s not many of us” *awkward introduction to Dave from accounts* ”this is Dave from accounts, he’s a fellow Charlton supporter” (me) “great, do you get down to the Valley much?” (Dave from accounts) “I had a season ticket when Charlton were in the Premier League but haven’t been much since they got relegated, hows Pardew getting on?”

You'd only be cheating yourselves....
And there'd be no prize anyway so a bit pointless!!
Except for the book, of course.
May I be the first to make a suggestion, the "Ilic Arms"?
Haven't any of you got home to go to?
That fruity is gonna pay out soon.

Need to get @Riviera back as our friendly, genial landlord.
Talking of which I could murder a pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord

Edit - might need a bit more thought that one. Not sure how to share my screen in real time.
Scotch that. It would only be good for one question.
Absolutely.
What would you like?
"Charlton"
"Who"
"Charlton. It's a place in South East London, near Green witch?"
