Traf Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Spice Island needs saving too. Best Indian Take-away for miles around! Stone Roses played there years ago and 17 million went. Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Spice Island needs saving too. Best Indian Take-away for miles around! Bangladeshi bud Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 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? Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Well it says Bangladeshi on the adverts anyhow Ok, I stand to be corrected Quote
bolty58 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited September 17, 2012 by bolty58 Quote
jules_darby Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Fengshui's local that Who remembers Starkie Stroller? Quote
Fengshui Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 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! Quote
jules_darby Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Starkie_Stroller was my old name on Rivals WW's! Aye, I know Was wondering who else remembered Quote
anewman Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 it all involved a landlords wife cheating, hubby pasting someone, robbing of the safe, kidnapping a kid all allegedly of course Quote
Carlos Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Spice Island needs saving too. Best Indian Take-away for miles around! Spice Island isn't even the best Indian on that road! #bradshawtandoori Quote
Casino Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 lets not be dragging the riff raff up the road Quote
Juan.Kerr Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 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. Quote

DazBob Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) The BEN's report it on. http://www.thebolton...is_shut/?ref=mr 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.” Edited September 18, 2012 by DazBobParr Quote
Sweep Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Regulars who turned up found the pub closed and went to another nearby pub instead 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 Quote
DazBob Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 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).

no balls Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 It's a bit of a walk, but that one near Harker & Howarth. Is it the Lord Clyde? That looks like a rum gaff. Quote
Sweep Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 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 Quote

Sweep Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 You mean BB's local? 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 Quote
no balls Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Do you mean the Black Horse? Looks like a locals pub, but yes, there's too many 3/4 length panted men outside. Quote
