[EITAL] It used to be said there [PARA]was a pub for every day of the year and a church for every [PARA]Sunday. In fact, there are only about 300, but then you'd be at the[PARA]churches on the Sundays anyway. For safety's sake, there are [PARA]a few other days you should take a break.

The Back [PARA]Bar (non-smoking) is more like someone's front lounge and good [PARA]for a quiet snifter. And there's the Hive, the 2nd most popular. [EITAL] [PARA]The Lower Common Room (LCR, cap 1,470) is used for gigs.[PARA][BOLD]Theatres:[EBOLD] There's a spanking new drama studio, [ITAL]and a strong [PARA]thespy set, who took 2 shows to Edinburgh last year.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Cinemas:[EBOLD] Among the flicks shown recently by the film club are [PARA]Another Stakeout, Ruby in Paradise, and Raining Stones.[PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos and music venues:[EBOLD] The LCR is used for discos [PARA]every Thursday and is a major tour date for some of the top [PARA]name bands, such as, in the past year, James, Cocteau Twins, [PARA]JTQ, Marillion, and Megadog.
