I was fucking massively delayed last December, the knock-on effects cost me a packet, so I did that Which? compo calculator and put in a claim (with proof of delay etc...) They gave me a case number (Ryanair) and then fuck all since - not a peep from 'em. It wasn't one of their £12.49 jobbies either because it was booked late on and at a peak period. I'm going to write to Doc Cox and Esther. Edited May 18, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a chocolate orange and a double caramel. The brand is Coconuts Organic and I think they're £1.49 for a 500ml tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrisons also do non dairy ice cream which is v cheap at 80p per tub but it's not the best by any means. The Aldi Coconut Caramel is pretty good but the best, if priciest I found was the Ben & Jerry's chunky monkey which disappeared a few months ago.

Moderators Carlos Posted May 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2020 I only went in Kiko a few times, once a student (being a dickhead) jumped in to me when I was coming back from the bar, ale went everywhere... One of the Dobble Beachballs filled him in on the spot. Happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 70s they did the timings for show jumping and 3 day eventing. Show jumping was on BBC Grandstand and Sportnight on a regular basis and was very popular. Harvey Smith, David Broome, Anne Smythe, Dorian Williams was commentator. I only know a bit about HB because the woman who lived next door was the girlfriend of the HB bloke who set up all the timing kit at events. He met all the famous names, even Princess Anne and Mark Phillips who did 3 day eventing. He ended up dumping her to shack up with a gay lover. Horsey people, eh? The posh watch brands like Omega and Tissot do all the timing work now. Edited May 19, 2020 by Mannyroader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Lower Nags, Millstone, Three Crowns, dip in and out of a few on Churchgate and Bank St (give The Griffin a wide berth), head off back up Blackburn Road via pit stop at The Cotton Tree or that place near the soap church. Food stop at that Chinese next to Cordon Bleu at Astley Bridge ASDA. Carry the walk back on into Sharples. Friday night. Fantastic. 8.30 - 6.00 shift at Ian Workman’s petrol station on Belmont Road next day for £5. 16/17 years old. Wish I could do that now!!

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I've asked these questions of a few older heads and never been given a satisfactory answer - The Lower Nags Head, my elder sister (two appleseeds on a lollystick) and her boyfriend used to take me in here when I was about six, never go to drink in it though... A. Where was the Upper Nags Head and why was it non-existent (circa 1982/83)? B. What became of The Lower Nags Head - I remember it was in a basement, so surely didn't become a shop? C. What brewery was it? I'm sure I remember a Whitbread sign... Anyway, I loved it in there - had a video jukebox, those afternoons spent in there (and with my old man at a similar age in The Sweet Green, Brooklyn or Bob's Smithy Inn) probably whet my whistle for my own escapades later on.
