bolty58 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I've driven past (at speed) but never been to this Rocket place, but have heard so much on this site about it. Is it really that bad? How's about a toothless granny, for halves o mild, giving blokes...........no, I'm going no further. Would put folk off their lunch. Makes the defunct Wood St Social club seem classy.

Traf Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 prince rupert Nowt wrong wi'tRupert. I used to play cricket for them.
Totty Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 pretty much the same in the Blue Bell in Bury although he sells em in the pool room instead err, which blue bell is that then frank?
frank_spencer Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 err, which blue bell is that then frank? one at the bottom of bell lane opposite the Seat Dealership
tyldesley_white Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I erred on the side of caution and didn't eat anything down there, and only drank from bottles* I saw them open before my own eyes! *not alcopops either! Check up weil's disease
no balls Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Check up weil's disease One has to take a considered decision and mine was I was less likely to get something horrible from a bottle than the glasses there.
SatanGreavsie Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 you know when you're in a proper pub when theres a pub dog. Went in an out of the way one here only to be greeted by an alsation running round growling while chomping on a teddy bear. Lass behind the bar then proceeded to tell us how the dog regularly catches the bus to Leicester - on its own. "He goes for a look around and then gets the bus back. All the drivers know him" One in Ibstock we went to years ago - was basically someone's front room. You might expect a "girlie" calendar behind a bar, but not one with full frontal crotch shots! As we left me mate held the door open for a local coming in - instead of a "ta" or just a rude silence he was rewarded with "fuck off". That's Ibstock for you though; it's like Lower Ince but without the charm
Snow_white Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Cans of special brew in the fridge. The roughest I've been in was the Spanking Rodger in Miles Platting, after England played NI with Mr Hamblett before going to the stadium bar for a bit of Orange lodge hospitality.

leigh white Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 The " Live and Let Live" in Leigh was a dead give away, windows boarded up, doors hanging off the hinges, and that was only the bog cleaners arguing who was throwing George Dearden out, after him falling asleep the night before.

Was it really called that? It's a bit of a Gayerish name.
agentorange Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Blackwood Bar in Edinburgh (Newington) early 80's. Opened at 8.00 am - every punter in place pissed by 9.00 and fighting by half past. Glory days

I was there that night, my ex was dancing to the bagpipes, she didnt have a clue it was a orange do, i was rolling. Nice buffet and well organised
peebles Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Used to go in the Ancoats Hotel in Manc (no longer there) many years ago. The place was filthy. A huge alsation stalked the place and it used to drink your pint and sh1t all over the place.
magic legs Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I went to a pub in Scunny a few years ago and there was a sign on the bog door "Customers only. No Smackheads." and also a loose Alsatian in the lounge whilst I was trying to watch the football.
