The Grove

From Frikipedia

A truly great sight. The pub, not the roadsign.

Excellent pub in Nottingham.

Contains two quizzies, a big screen, a pool table, billiards and a dartboard, along with a terminally oversubscribed pub quiz. It is scientifically possible to spend months inside the Grove constantly and never get bored.

Sadly, the obvious lack of Früli means that Frikipedia can only award the Grove 4 1/2 Celtic Crosses out of 5.

The Glory Years 2003-2005

For many years of its multi personalitied life, Friki made The Grove its local, and much of its academic achievements took place inside its four odd shaped walls. Including:

• Attending the pub quiz in a team dressed in matching pink t-shirts.
• Winning the pub quiz boobie prize for the "best team name" on two consecutive occasions.
• Completing a tactical chunder in every toilet cubicle. Including the urinals. And the ladies.
• Forcing a barmaid to quit her job and leave Nottingham having "maybe come on a bit strong" after buying her a huge bunch of flowers for her 19th birthday no more than 18 hours after meeting her.
• Ruining the dartboard blackboard by improvising and writing the scores using the pool chalk.
• Still catching the end of the Chelsea v Liverpool Champions League semi final in 2005, despite one of Friki's friends collapsing halfway through the game.
