Things to do in a pub while waiting for people to turn up?
So I've arrived earlier than expected. There's no hot barstaff. My mate is about 20 minutes behind. And I'm not about to tan this cider an demand more. Suggestions please?

I normally give people in the pub nicknames, this can be embarrassing later in the night going to the loo and asking "smelly fat dude" to kindly move aside :/

 I've never quite worked out what to do when I'm in the pub by myself beyond the usual chatting to barstaff and/or reading the paper/checking my phone but it doesn't bother me greatly. This is fortunate since I'm often the first one in the pub, lots of my mates won't go into the pub unless they know someone is there - that someone was usually me.

I would just drink the drink and ask for another. Then demand your friend buys you another for making you wait

Definitely play on the phone, look casual, don't keep looking at the door, stay calm, don't panic, don't make eye contact, keep drinking. Did I mention don't keep looking at the door?
It's my worst nightmare!
