Socialisation:
The term used for the process by which individuals learn and perform behaviour expected of them by society. The older we get the more we like to socialise and the more we do this the happier we generally are. Now mankind cleverly defised an invention like no other, something that was so good it made u braver, more confident, more funny, more clever,better looking; even gave you the ability to sing; and apparantly makes it ok to piss wherever you want! Surley such a potion only exist in fairytales I hear you exclaim, well thats where you're wrong (although it would explain sleeping beauty) the magical potion im talking about is none other than your good friend ALCOHOL. Thats right your close companion and socially acceptable drug Mr Ethanol. Now not only did some genius primate discover the stuff but when the little devils had done evolving they actually found time to build a place to consume it; thus making it a social event! Names come and go but the name that stuck was 'The Pub' and what a wonderful name indeed; shortened from its predessor 'Public House' until decided upon it was far to long to say when drunk so PUB it was.. So whats the attraction? Sure its a building sure they serve alcohol but what do 'Men' find so fasinating about it all you ask? Allow me to explain traditionally 'Men' were once boys (I say traditionally as you never can tell these days) and these boys would see their fathers come home from work strip off have a bite to eat, by strip off I ment shower lets make that clear; then they were gone you've got it down the Boozer they went and the little boy would wonder what went on behind those doors,why was Dad always loud and merry when he got back? It was most strange indeed but then the time came when you got to go! YES! It had arrived the day to experience the magic you walk in and........ wafting over you is the stale smell of beer body odour and peanuts, a stain of yellow decorates the celing a reminder of smokier days and behind the counter is a cashier but instead of giving you receipts he gives you ALCOHOL! This is when the genius hits you, as you look around the place taking in the sight of groaning bodys over warm beers sat upon wooden stools upon scary carpet you relise that the only thing left to do is drink! Suddenly after about an hour you find yourself viewing again but this time the bodys are lively souls the warm beers are now golddust the stools now thrones and the carpet now bed; its amazing its exciting its social cool and great! Thats when you relise that this will be your second home a place of fun pointless banter and meaningless chat but its fun enjoyable and you love it and thats why boys will always love their pubs.
