leigh white Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Come on in leaps and bounds since my youth, those hilly streets took it's toll today supping around my old haunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted June 30, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2019 Only been once, thought it was an absolute shit hole. However I know full well some of the crappy places are actually great nights out full of decent folk. It still reminds me of a larger version of Oldham though.

Popular Post SatanGreavsie Posted July 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2019 I definitely think the BBC are missing a trick here. Have Leigh White take on the role of Michael Portillo on his Great British Railway Journeys role, but instead devoted to him recounting escapades of supping, shagging and fighting across the county - as he travels around in an old orange SELNEC bus, pinging a clippercard in at the start of each episode, before recounting tales of debauchery and complete random drivel. It's a fucking BAFTA winner I'm telling you 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great city. Was there in the Mel Sterland/Imre Varadi era. The “Hole In The Road”, The Leadmill, standing in boozers talking to Martin Fry and Phil Oakey just as they were becoming famous. Been back many times since and, apart from the footy, always had a great time gonzo - was it the Crosspool Tavern your brother ran?

Youri McAnespie Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) At the start of my 2nd stab at youth 😉 aged 30, me and a mate went to The Plug, which was kind of the unofficial nightclub of the student population, to see Dave Clark (who was biz here, smashed it every time I'd seen him in Mancheter) - we'd barely got through the door before some petite blonde bobbed student cutie came over and grabbed my packet before she'd even introduced herself... Normally at this juncture I'd write 'and then the alarm went off and I was rudely awakened...' but no. My kinda town was Sheffield 😊 Edited July 3, 2019 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Spent the day there today at The Royal Hallamshire Wandered into Broomhill which was a fantastic den of iniquity back in the day - alehouses, chippies, curry houses, the lot. You could spend all day and night there on the ale and food and have a belting time There's a falafel place there now. People were queuing out the door. Juice bars as well, Gone to the dogs that place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
