Surpised the beer wasn't om top form - usually bettrs than the Boars Head by a distance in my experience<br /><br />The cellar bar at Fred's is used for CAMRA Committee meetings a couple of times a year and it works well for those.

Over here, on the west coast, you'd have to be a city of 80,000 or more to get syringes in the park. ;)<br />(but then, you're talking a sub section of Manchester, so...)<br /><br />""would look good on me with mi dreads!""<br /><br />Mayhap he was saying 'threads' in reference to his sartorial elegance. :)<br /><br />"and you've gotta look them up where poss, or is that puss, haha!"<br /><br />I think you're taking the p*ss. ;)<br /><br />"Lady like me, feigning reading to avoid awkward chat."<br /><br />Are those her three pints!<br /><br />"but I couldn't stop thinking of Dominoes Pizza when I saw that sign"<br /><br />Now that you mention it... :)<br /><br />"boring as fuck or quirky as shit"<br /><br />Interesting. Over here it would be the other way round; boring as shit or quirky as fuck. ;)<br /><br />"me sitting there amazed they hadn't pinned it on South Yorkshire police"<br /><br />From what I've seen of SYP tweets (or retweets as it were) they wouldn't get that violent if they were clubbed up the side of the head.<br /><br />"a moody old blonde woman who scowled at me on way out after a 10 minute sesh on the bog."<br /><br />Was it you or her who'd been on the bog that long? ;)<br /><br />"A third blonde lady (hooped earrings) didn't use the bogs at all, but turned her chair round and stared at me face on for 5 mins."<br /><br />Ok, I initially read that as her using her chair to go to the loo rather than the bogs!<br /><br />"Christine and Martin Taylor a few years ago"<br /><br />LOL <br />(oh, and good luck getting a ride from Martin this year mate) :)<br /><br />CheersRusstovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-45113355912020107842018-09-10T22:08:03.577+01:002018-09-10T22:08:03.577+01:00Which one is Martin Taylor ?Which one is Martin Taylor ?Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104772948340037150noreply@blogger.com
