    I enjoy the 6 nations when it’s on even though I don’t properly understand the rules of rugby. It’s always a good atmosphere for watching in the pubs and it’s good to go to matches as well even if it’s heavily priced.

    The pubs are rammed full of fuds in bootleg jeans and velcro trainers, you'll fit in just fine.

    That place must be one of the biggest turnarounds in the history of turnarounds. Back in the days when it was known as Vietnam, even walking past it was risky at times.

    You're an elder gentleman Supermik. I could have sworn when I was in Uni there was a pub further down towards Diggers, probably next to where Victor Paris is now. Can you help at all?

    If the Blue Blazer is getting a mention then I'd be pushing for the International bar to be on the list for a solid choice as the good, honest working man's  pub.

    :lol: The Blue Blazer is full of failed artists. The International bar is full of Jakeballs. 

    On a separate note I see that Brauhaus is now torn down or being majorly renovated.

    Right in August eh will be in Edinburgh for the military tattoo. What pubs near the castle or walking distance are good bet to go to ?

    All the pubs around there will be heaving before and after the tattoo. You'll be as well going for a drink in the Grassmarket and walking up Upper Bow.

    It is rare that I venture into the city centre these days other than to watch the cabbage but I am heading up tonight and looking for suggestions of good bars, preferably no old man pubs..

     

    I'll give you a few suggestions to divert this away from another Throbber wants attention thread.

    Brewhemia and Bourbon aren't bad and there are a few places like Panda & Sons and Bryant & Mack Private Detectives are worth a visit if you are doing cocktails.

    It has a bar downstairs though so who cares what’s going on upstairs?

    You obviously haven’t been tjete and are just saying this in an attempt to win an argument.

     

    Calm down throbber, I'm sure your Rod Stewart tribute nights out are really cool and fun.

    Have you ever been to the Pilton Hilton? Or the Hanging bat for that matter?
     

     

    I have never been to the Hilton Pilton but going by their website the Spice Girls and Taylor Swift tribute acts coming up look just great for your wedding.

    I've been to the Hanging Bat once and it was shit.

    Rather than going out to town I would recommend the Village hotel out near the Crewe toll roundabout for a night out.

    The village specialises in dinner/cabaret deals. I would rather sit next to the wackiest hipster in The Hanging Bat than sit amongst pish stained Grannies frothing at the crotch over the Tom Jones tribute act.

    Someone on twitter came out and told her she looked like an alien in a similarly unhealthy selfie she took and she replied with something like “thanks for the advice Mr Pitt”. I assumed the guy was just being a p***k but someone needs to tell her that she looks dreadful.

    You should step up then post the results.

    Succinct. 

    Anyway, having a flick through he pinnacle of journalism that is the Dundee Courier (hard copy) and some wifie has put a personal ad in (the only one) including a selfie, phone number and email address.

    Is this normal? Has she never heard of WTM? Should I email her to warn her?

     

    Just tell her when you get home. 

  11. Its only two parks so fill it out with trips to Buffalo Bills West World and take a trip to Val D"Europ shopping centre. The Disney Village is actually quite fun and the fireworks are pretty good at the end. 

    It will cost you an absolute fortune though. I went to the Rainforest Cafe and got two adult meals and a Childs meal and it cost me about £90 with drinks.

    This is quite the handy guide http://www.dlpguide.com

     

    ETA: The adults will push aside children to get photos with other adults dressed up as children characters. I lost the rag a few times.

    With the price of flights these days you're as well to do it proper and go to Disneyland.

     

    No point going to a Mickey mouse place when you can have the real thing.

    Shut up.
