Be out with some mates up Barrow and watch the game on the telly in the pub, always a crazy night in the inbred town anyway.

Was out around London bridge all day yesterday on works do it was belting

 

Were any of you boys round there?

Was in the barrow boy for a bit

It's certainly a long bar. The whole seating thing is a bit odd and I find it thinks more of itself than necessary. But then that is so Spinningfields

Certainly full of pretentious wannabes, gangsters & footballers wife types! At £27 a round for 4 of us - it's wasn't for the feint-hearted! Most seating was reserved but empty - trying to create exclusivity??? Enjoyed the Oast House - much more spit, sawdust, great entertainment (even though one of the guitarists was my mrs ex!) - lot of James, Oasis, Roses, soul, blues, etc, beltin' atmosphere - folk dancing on tables, etc.

It's caused £400,000 worth, that Bradshawgate fire, apparently.

 

Of improvements.

 

Why am I thumbing 'Post'? Rereading that has filled me with melancholy...

The whole strip isn't worth 400K!

Didn't leave where our do was at last night

 

Except on the way. Pal of mine and I stopped at the Grapes in Manc for a pint ont the way....not many forms could have taken hat place last night...full of absolute not reets at 7pm

Didn't the bloke who runs Vogue also have a fire at his other place on Bradshawgate a couple of years ago?

bloody unlucky, that

Great pub New Oxford.

 

Kings arms good too.

Kings arms good too.

was in there as well, also the salford arms., a few dodgy characters in there

Kings arms good too.

was in there Thurs. Sagres????

Yeah salford arms has kept some of its old clientele. Bit of a red pub which is a downer. Egerton arms has the most characters round there and some terrible united stuff on the walls. Further down chapel street I've no idea how the rovers return is still open, never see anyone in there.

I'll be booking again for next year at Rivvie Barn, £39.50p very well spent and worth every penny. £3.90 for San Miguel though !!

Called in the Salford Arms a good few weeks ago. They had live music on. A folky band who took ages to tune up, then a Chinese woman playing a eukale, ukale banjo, who was quite good, in a strange sort of way.

They had a few decent beers on and foreign barstaff.

A very entertaining evening.

I think the Rovers shall Return no more, by the way.

only until 3am

Where did you visit?

 

I was at the horniman, hays galleria (right next to hms Belfast) then went to a bar in monument, scarpered at 10pm so didn't see too much debauchery / drunkenness

bloody unlucky, that

Almost as unlucky as the owner of Derek's carpets. That went up a few times.

 

Did I say he bought an apartment In Tenerife one Christmas I was over there?

Used to go to that cafe across the way from there and never saw anyone in or out the pub for the few months I was on that Renakers site

Rovers is still open, nearly went in after work Friday, but didn't

 

Salford arms, was an odd place last time I went in, think the Chinese from next door were running it and the decor was shocking, but the ale was cheap

Upstairs of Vogue were the offices of The Kieley's  I used to go every Friday to pick up a works cheque. The receptionist (fucking Huge) once said too me "I love it when I see you"    "Really?"  "Yes it means IT"s time too go home"

 

 

Fucking DMB bitch.
