    Alot of talk about Virtual Pubs been a new thing...

    Heard about it (in a real pub).

    Basically, you go to the off-licence and load up on booze.

    Get yourself comfy on your couch or wherever, open a can, go to the virtual pub website that operates over like a group skype/simulator style pub and your in the pub having the craic and you don't have to leave the house!

    Would you go? for the craic?

    My brother did this a few weeks back. He's in the middle of the outback working for 3 weeks at a time. We were having a house party and we had him up on skype. He had a few beers and we chatted to him as we passed the laptop around.

    So, how exactly would you shift your one then? Cybershift?

    Can you imagine all the cyber fights at the end of the night!

    Seen a thing in the paper where you can do a distance learning course to become a virtaul pub security gaurd.

    Its the future.

    To be honest I'd rather skip the pub and just get involved in a virtual orgy if the night is going to be that shít, redtube is a great site for it.

    Paint a face on your hand. You might even get a BJ if your lucky.

    That would defeat the purpose of drinking alone.

    Anyone remember there was some sort of e-pub gimmick set up a few years back? Boozer had stickers in their window about it :confused:

    Hell no, chatroulette is packed full of freaks pulling their little mickeys infront of young guys/girls, a virtual pub would be many times worse.

    A guy I used to share a house with used to be addicted to VIP.ie back in the olden days of dial up internet, he racked up a phone bill of over £100 1 month by being online the whole time onto it
