The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the Tommy Bowe photo on the bar. That's a banning offence

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

Awww Cari, rose

Hobo, the appletinis may be out of stock for a while Wink

Speaking of which, I'm off downstairs for a vodka lime & soda (stupid no beer-drinking until July10 pledge, mutter mutter).

Laters all

Munsty - that all sounds good thumbsup

I think I liked my SU bar so much because I didn't often go to it, so I never got bored with it. I never lived on campus at Uni so made got myself a local pub in town to go to instead, twas called The Ship and Castle and it's a CAMRA pub, I love, love, love it!

Mick - if that's directed at me, how mean! Crying or Very sad

by Cari Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:03 pm

I think this pub's turning misogynist Dreamer. You're accused of being smelly because your water's off and I'm a big foe Crying or Very sad

Since you resigned as landlady its gone downhill rapidly.

There will be an over 25's policy on the door next.

by Suspicious lurker Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:06 pm

Cari, I think, now I might not be sure but I reckon it just might have been a joke

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:07 pm

ah who needs 'em anyway Cari? Wink

Over 25's?! you'll lose half of us!

Yes I know...now let me get on with the guilt trip!

by MBTGOG Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:07 pm

We have our own local but have gone off it in recent months though that may be down to the increased workload.

The problem I find with our SU is playing music like Drum n'Bass and techno at about half one during the day when there are only about 3-5 people there just looking for a chat.

by Cari Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:09 pm

Munsty - what sort of reaction do you get if you ask them to turn that sheet off? More politely of course...

Over 25s policy? How are we supposed to check?

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:10 pm

ah really? Our's always showed Neighbours and Home and Away then! Smile

by Cari Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:11 pm

Ours always showed the music channels unless there was a big sporting event on then they'd show that.

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:12 pm

yeah we had the little tv's along the walls with the music channels, but we had a pull down screen for things like Neighbours/sport. Twas all good Smile

You know, sometimes, I really do miss being at Uni Sad

by MBTGOG Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:13 pm

Never have Cari to be honest though at some stage I think I will. I normally stay away because of it. That shouldn't really be the case though considering it's the cheapest place to drink around.

You know what, I think I will do that from now on.

by Cari Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:15 pm

I'm sure if you ask them to turn it down it shouldn't be a problem - given that there's hardly anyone in there as well. if they refuse (which is unlikely) complain to the SU president.

You looking forward to the Youth group?

And as sad as it sounds the thing I'm most looking forward today is having a shower, because finally after 4 days of waiting I have hot water again!

Stinky

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:21 pm

can not believe how rude some people are in here today Whistle

by Cari Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:23 pm

Dreamer - they can't talk about being smelly. Someone who shall remain nameless cleared the pub with their farting. laughing

It was funny but very stinky...

by Mick(TEFC) Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:24 pm

Dreamer

Let it be known that I take a shower once every ten days, whether I need to or not Erm

I know you're all just joking!

You should be so lucky, Dreamer. Have had Ron the Builder making a new shower room for the last two weeks - control of the personal plumbing is at a premium while the house plumbing is under modification.

Actually, the sky blue doesn't work, does it?

Made Laurel and Hardy look like models of ergonomic efficiency. So glad nobody else was there to see!

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 6:32 pm

sounds a bit hectic at yours Puma! Think how nice it'll all be when the shower room is finished though, twill be well worth it Smile

Just found out what that strange odour is;the outside fridge(posh,innit) was unplugged,and the green meenies are thriving<urghhhhhhh><Keelsoverholdingnose>

Completely off topic,but haven't I seen this before?

Cool story here about Neemia Tialata. Seems like a really decent bloke.

He was linked with Agen for a while,shame he isn't coming down here Crying or Very sad

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 09 Jun 2011, 7:24 pm

It seems familiar doesn't it, Chef?

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Thu 09 Jun 2011, 7:39 pm

stuff all this colour malarkey - that's better

I'm looking forward to the JWC, but haven't made my mind up where to watch it tomorrow night.

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 7:43 pm

Chef - that does seem v familiar.

Hound - I'm looking forward to it to but will be missing the Wales match tomorrow, coz I'm going to be on the train home Sad

(which actually is a good thing! just wish I didn't have to miss the rugby)

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Thu 09 Jun 2011, 7:47 pm

dreamer - can't you get someone to record it for you?

by Guest Thu 09 Jun 2011, 7:51 pm

Hound......yes, omg yes I could, I have the ability to do that via my tv now! can't believe I forgot that! thank you Ale

by Mick(TEFC) Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:06 pm

You guys have got the JWC on TV?
At least we have the finalists(at least) here Whistle

this is why I heart

Megacities on the BEEB now. Loving it. Mexico City is fast turning into a scene from Blade Runner. 20 million people and growing, in one Metropolis, is asking for it.

It is only going to get worse for all Megacities.

by Mick(TEFC) Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:16 pm

Hound,
For tomorrow evening,may I recommend a sublime establishment,Ealing Broadway-way? Something to do with harvested cereal?

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:18 pm

I'm sure there some great things about Mexico City, but there's something fundamentally sad about it for me. It was built on top of the Aztecs' city of Tenochtitlan, which was so beautiful that the first Spanish to see it had to rub their eyes because they'd never seen such a sight.

by Gibson Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:29 pm

True Lucky,They'd be crying their eyes out if they saw it now.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:32 pm

Mick - that is an option for sure. But I had a long day over there on Saturday, and the journey home is lengthy. I was thinking more of the pub in Marylebone where everyone met up before the Sarries v Leinster game. Marylebone to Harrow in 11 minutes on the train, and one of 5 buses I can get towards home. Job done Very Happy

by Mick(TEFC) Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:35 pm

Yeh,Hound, bloody gall-bladder and I missed out on the Marylebone option mad

Isn't there the Bootlegger? :run1:

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:38 pm

There are loads of sad episodes of history, but the history of the Conquistadors in the New World is one of the saddest. The Spanish had just finished driving the Moors out of Spain and saw the Native Americans as just another set of heathens.

I think all colonisation throughout history is as sad as the next as it has ruined so many cultures.

Agree with you Munsty,

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:49 pm

And plenty of examples, Munsty. But let's not talk about it!

by Glas a du Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:53 pm

Bar Steward ram had me down on the field. He hit me behind the knee and I went down like a sack of spuds.

Cry

Dreamer, my locals were the Coops and Yr Hen Llew Du Bach Boi. One night we decided to broaden our horizons a bit. I had always liked the Ship and Castle. We had the best drinking games session ever in there, fantastic place.

by red_stag Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:54 pm

hehehe Glas "went down like a sack of spuds". Its true what they say about those sheep farmers Smile

Agree with you Munsty,

So,lets start with the Picts,Scots Romans,Vikings,Normans,etc....

Rather a swathing statement,methinks,although not ALL colonisations were beneficial(for those colonised) thumbsup

by MBTGOG Thu 09 Jun 2011, 8:56 pm

So Oliver Cromwell?
