PWL Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 On way home from work tonight I discovered to my horror that one of the houses in the next street have put there Xmas lights up. Was tempted to 'do a Grimbo'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The Counting House was an awful choice which won't be forgotten. Wanted an all day breakfast, what sort of pub doesn't do an all day breakfast?? The one above the Pear Tree? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I did a Google search there and found that The Partick Tavern is now The Bag o' Nails and The Dowanhill is called Sparkle Horse...Sparkle fucking Horse! Lot of gentrification of pubs around there going on back when I lived there. Price of a pint about doubled over that time too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My perception of you has changed from a gruff Weegie Rangers supporter to one of the banter boys from Chewin the Fat. I bet you have never even set foot in Edinburgh as you view it as Scotlands Midden Seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked in Edinburgh it was always Lady Lawson Street, so lunch time was always in the pubs around there. They were just pubs that happened to have strippers, rather than strip bars. After work I spread my wings a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I went in it was like a flashback to the 70s and full of guys older and more raddled than me. Plus it had John Smith's Bitter masquerading as heavy. Awful, awful place. At least the Esquire has decent beer. Christmas Day there, though, and you have the saddest collection of middle aged losers in the world...aye, me included...desperate for human contact before they head back to open the Fray Bentos pie in a tin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 On way home from work tonight I discovered to my horror that one of the houses in the next street have put there Xmas lights up. Was tempted to 'do a Grimbo'. There has been a house in Dumfries who've had their decorations up since the end of October. I'd love to be making that up. Absolutely shambolic behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pub near Rutherglen station that would open all the doors at 9.45 and start screaming " last orders " Cue trays of 2 pints per person and a few shorts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
