Bangladeshi bud :)

 

Isn't that another name for Cobra?

 

Most 'indian' restaurants etc. are Bangladeshi in origin - but Spice Island actually do Bangladeshi stuff, and very nice it is too.

Best 'indian' takeaway in Bolton perhaps?

As per usual my friend, you are a fucking million miles from anything resembling the truth.

 

Find a picture of a Fred Perry wearing No. 1 bone dome, Levi 501's and oxblood loafers and you'll be getting warm.

 

I'm guessing you're one of these beatnik or hippy types? Just a hunch.

 

TBF, however, you aren't that far off with my dear departed doting Gran.

Starkie_Stroller was my old name on Rivals WW's!

 

The Starkie isn't too bad these days since they spent some money on it, but as they say, you can't polish a turd and you do get some 'rif-raf' in.

 

It's funny how rumors exculate on Facebook though. From being a domestic incident to someone being stabbed, robbed and killed took a matter of hours!

Who remembers Starkie Stroller?

 

I got a phone call at home about thirty years ago from "Ron Moore from Tonge Moor" offering to give me a good hiding if I wanted to go in the Starkie. I didn't bother, as I didn't know who the fuck he was. And I told him so.

Crikey. Telephone marketing has really come on in the past 30 years.

The BEN's report it on.

Brilliant, just brilliant. Where do the BN find such ground-breaking, incisive and investigative journos who demand answers from the tough questions??

 

 

 

"Regulars who turned up found the pub closed and went to another nearby pub instead."

 

 

and...

 

 

One local resident said: “Everything was fine at the pub last night. “Nobody seems to know what has happened — it must have happened after the pub shut.” He added: “The police came to the pub at about 10am this morning. It looks serious but no one seems to know what has happened. It is a nice pub.”

 

Another regular said: “I hope it re-opens soon.”

This quote amuses me greatly, I'm not sure why.

 

For the life of me I can't think where the next nearest hostelry is...other than the Connie Club

What's that one called at the junction of Ainsworth Lane/Bury Rd - that's probably the nearest (excluding the Connie Club where Tony Knowles didn't use to live).

Bowling Green, I went in there once. It was a bit shit

what's the other one on Bury Rd, inbetween Ainsworth Lane and Crompton Way? - When ever I drive past it always seems to be rammed with scutters getting pissed

You mean BB's local? :D

I don't know.

 

Maybe I was a bit rash calling them scutters, but the thing is, no matter when I drive past it always seems to have piss heads standing out ide. Having said that, the landlord must be doing something right, as he seems to have the custom. It's good to see a pub thriving these days, it doesn't happen anywhere near enough
