throbber Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm in 2 minds, I'm the same about the gasometer frame at Granton. The cock towers do look a bit shab like from Porty beach but driving by them you get the awe of what they once were, that great power station & workplace. It's history & will remain in photies n shit but what price progress eh? The Fowler's Wee Heavy sign outside the Goth down the Pans brings back memories I never had of a great beer I never got to taste. Some things are bigger than us. Grimbo Its ugly as f**k and should be taken down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throbber my man, it lies upon the cusp betwixt to grand footballing theaters. Spartans & Civil Service Strollers. The gasometer marks the halfway line. There's been much regeneration in that area & is slowly morphing from a sow's ear into a silk purse. A deer as even been sighted on the gasometer site. Although no photographic evidence as such has surfaced so don't give me the "pics or GTF" line. They've even got a pure gym. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I used to work with one of Fred's daughters.

Oh aye he was a cannae man, not that I ever met him but the stories of his tight-fistedness are stuff of legends round Bolton. Jayne was/is lovely mind & was never a tight-arse when we worked together. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 How many times did you see her arse during working hours, out of interest?I could only give a rough estimate tbh, but out of a 7.5 hour day, my pb would have been around about 45, you have to take in the other factors that I was working in a team of 7 although 1 of them was a male so if I did look at his arse it was not for pleasure or anything. I would say it was just an honest mistake anyone could make. [scrambling for relevance], out of the 5 females there was only 3 on my to wid list, although I can chalk one off as a did. A lot of the work was lone working so I wouldn't have been physically able to view said arse. So 45 was a guid day. Are there any decent erses in your line of work or any past jobs Mozzy, worth revealing? Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Linda's arse is cracking and I try to get at least half an hour cumulative staring time whenever possible. Other that than, the quality is variable at best. Pics or GTF. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbo Nah i do like it out there, i was just meaning the particular plot at which this gasometer sits doesn't scream out for anything else to replace it any time soon!

Lack of boozers in the area though Oh right I see what you mean. Yeah it could go with a bit of a tidy, aye & spot on re the rubbadubdubs round there. Aye f**k it are they encouraging drink driving or what. No way would I call the Anchor my local not the Gunner (which has sadly closed down).

There is a new bar and grill open at that new hotel near the crewe toll roundabout that may be decent but i haven't been inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Imagine two peaches in a silk bag. That's a pass in my book, or fertile imagination.

I've not been in the bar bit but went for a tea in the Starbucks (sorry comrades) looks decent enough but doubt it would be up to my standards.
