Around 10:45, they open up all the doors, letting in that cold night air. A subtle reminder to go home.

Then they slowly start putting up chairs.

By 10:55, if you haven't gotten the hint, they start passing out plastic cups. It's completely legal to take your show on the road, just as long as you're not in a pub past 11.
They do? When did this start?

Oh!--and, congratulations, Jonsey! That sounds like a great batchelor party.
