I have been here nearly 5 months now. But have avoided going out on weekends so far. So I am not going to be much help here. But through use of QL I have now received invitations from those I talk to on here. If you hang around QL long enough you will soon come across like minded people that do go out.
If ever I have an really really bad week, and desperately need a drink, I think I would either head to the Irish Harp in the Sheriton or one of the many bars I believe are in the Ramada which for me is closer.
I know a lot of QLers go to both of these locations.
Normally threads like this take a bashing, you are lucky you haven't been annihilated by sarcastic comments.
