This bloke’s mate got randos to send drinks via the Wetherspoons app and things got weird

It's Nick's birthday, everyone!

Happy birthday, mate. We've never met and we don't know you, but it's your day to feel special. What better way to celebrate your birthday than with a few bevvies down the boozer? The true beauty of birthday booze, though, is that other people should be buying it for you - you don't buy your own pints on your birthday. It's just sacrilege. Right, Nick? Now wait a minute. Let's go one further. It doesn't just have to be your mates getting your rounds in. Thanks to the Wetherspoons app, total strangers could send you drinks, if they wanted to. If only there was some way of communicating your table number to the masses... https://twitter.com/RoryMeep/status/910507996593246208 Oh hello, there. Table 67 you say? So here's what happened: Nick's mate Rory posted a picture of Nick, inviting randomers to send him a birthday beverage via the Wetherspoons app. Ingenious! But would it actually work? In a sense, yes. In another sense, no no no no no no no no.

Okay, things didn't get off to the best start.

Well, that's not a drink, but at least it's nice.

You'd better believe they're going to eat it though.
