Adam is confused. It hurt itself in the confusion!

So, The White Star in Liverpool is this old as shit pub filled with old as shit people. It’s quite cosy and the beer is nice, which makes it very redeemable. Anyway, the walls inside are full of Beatles stuff and loads of paintings and photos of old boats. Cruise liners and…other types. Giant-ass old boats really do nothing for me, but according to a friend, the Titanic was built by the White Star Line. Get out, you say? No, this is my place of documentation.

I guess it explains all the boat malarkey dotted around the place. I must stress this is a nice pub. Y’know, last time I was in the Wetherspoons nearby, they rang the fire alarm and told us to go get breakfast at McDonalds instead? That really happened. I have witnesses. Why was I at a Wetherspoons for breakfast a few weeks ago? Because this is how I roll with my chums (real and imaginary). Wetherspoons would do well to take note of the cheery barkeep in the White Star.

If you go into the beer ‘garden’ at The White Star, which is effectively four walls and some ancient concrete flagging, you will see the walls painted with some really cool stuff about the Titanic. Oh shit, did this get controversial? Uh huh. In the harsh red light of the outdoor heater, it all looks pretty sweet.

But I do take issue with that drawing of ‘Ismay’. I’m pretty sure a Jawa didn’t make it on board the Titanic…

I’m hardly the greatest at drawing (in fact, I’m what the soft sciences refer to as ‘a retard with a pen’ while doodling), but that’s a pretty horrific depiction of the man.

Make your own mind up, but I’m right.
