I didn't realise The Abbot had closed. Yeah, I remember the old Market. Very vague memories of an amusement arcade immediately behind it. Think it had the same owners but wasn't part of the pub.

I remember these places but I never drank in them as they are slightly before my time. My dad and uncles used to drink in The Tally Ho, which was next to The Star on the corner of New Wynd. It later became the Halifax building society.

Is that pub called Right Wing?

Years ago, I'm talking mid '90s here, I was on a pub crawl in Aberdeen and I ended up a very dodgy pub down by the harbour. I'm sure it was called The Anchorage. This place looked like a work canteen. No real decor to speak of and very plain furniture. Does anyone know if it still there?

If that's allowed then I'm going for this...

I've never knowingly heard Charli xcx before. That was f**king painful. I can imagine it being popular in the sort of commercial nightclubs that attract the type of c**t who take selfies while pouting.

I'm pretty sure it's still going. A great pub, though I haven't been in since before the pandemic.

I did most of my youthful boozing in The Star in Montrose. It's still going but I've not been in for years. Back in the '90s it was something else. Spread over several rooms on two floors. There was always something going on. Live punk music on Thursday nights. Rave type events on Fridays and Saturdays. Strippers on Sundays. Plenty of colourful characters propping up the bar. I've never known another pub like it.

My month ahead. 5th - Cast 10th - Becky Sikasa 11th - Pale Waves 18th - Evan Dando 19th - Man of Moon 26th - Australian Pink Floyd 31st - October Drift

Yeah, it would be even better if it was battered and deep fried though.

Try putting pineapple on it mate. I reckon that'll change your POV.

I once stayed in a hotel that had a bidet in the ensuite bathroom. I really enjoyed skooshing a jet of water up my council gritter.

Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout Pretty much as you'd expect. Weighs in a 5% and has quite a strong flavour. Decent, but I could not drink more than one in an evening.

Yeah, I'm shocked that she's in cahoots with Coldplay.
