The Albany, Great Portland Street

I had a grand time at The Albany directly across the road from the ISH. My musically gifted and talented Norwegian friend played the piano and we both sang old tunes ranging from 'It's a Long Road to Tipperary' and George Cohan's WW I classic 'Over There.' As we wrapped up singing the great Cohan song, my Norwegian friend asked me to get refills of our pint mugs so I proceeded to take them up to the bar where I was sucker punched in the face out of the blue.

I want to go back to have a rematch with the Brit who sucker punched me at The Albany Pub on Great Portland Street. He can even have his girlfriend play 'doubles' against me again.
