Denzel

i did, the guinness in there is nice, and my dad swears by the best scotch.

Sounds like a man who knows his quality tipples. A true bon vivant.

Where in the post did i say i was interested in one?

I was stating there was one opening

Gan on petal, scratch his eyes out.

no doubt that they do great charity work as well as other business do in bedlingon but to be realistic, they do talk to people when staff arnt in the bar im sure. the bar isnt open all day so it gives them chance to make phone calls to other people and do you think, if a business was in trouble, would the staff be the first to know?

I'm with Del Amitri on this one.

Have heard that there are workmen in the Lion decorating, is it re opening ? anyone heard anything

Pub officially up for sale. I'm considering my options.

Whats a Parmo?

Pork (sometimes chicken) fillet, battered to make it thin, coated in breadcrums then fried, and topped with tomato sauce, bechamel and parmesan. Also known as a Valdostano.

Very tasty.

has anyone elses rent gone up mine has went from £62 to £72 without any warning and they havent done anything to me house for the rent to go up so much for them increasing rent the same as the council would

You're paying a pittance for a home, and they'll soon be round with plans for new roof, kitchen, bathroom et al. My heart bleeds for you pal.

!*!@# pub full of dorty scratters in closure threat shocker.

Sorry I guess things are not too good with the toon am i right

Aye, complete !*!@# Brian.

:lol:

lossie

Double carpet

Its on its way Denzel.

They've been saying that since 19-canteen.

As long as it's better than the place over at Blagdon... gave me me dress back 2 weeks before the event far too tight, with holes in, no underskirt and a wonky hem! (just like my usual attire, I know)

A strange coven of ladies they are... they even threatened me mam they would call the police, just for ringing to complain! Turns out they've done it a load of times though and everyone seems to know someone who's had an incident with them (usually, an awful alteration, including the police threat!!). I've just heard of another poor lass who got her dress back from them a couple of days before a Christmas wedding and had to get a whole new frock...

I had to repair mine myself, and had a few hundred plastic flowers to cover the misdemeanours, but some conventional brides may get upset about the matter...

Anyway... advice is stay away from Blagdon, and give the local business a go! In this time of credit crunching, I say good on em

I'd have thought you'd have got married at Glastonbury or some other crusty hellhole.

American Pie

Passionate message Denzel

I'm a passionate person Pete; it's my fiery Mediterranean background.

Wait till the trains start running again Denzel, the station will be the in place.

Aye, that's bound to happen soon Pete!

"

then his music must be an aquired taste, how about "speedway at nazereth" one of the best songs when you,re on the road,and a great guitar riff in it

Stop it now, you're embarassing yourself.

Hoko 10 is actually one of the nicest places i've been to see local bands play.

Just down from the Theatre Royal, Pints £1.50 all night, doubles for £2, and i'm pretty sure its buy one get one free on pints before 8pm.

Lovely atmoshere, and cosy too!

Anyone who enjoys a birra acoustic; my mate's doing a set there on the 3rd Feb.

Should be good

Never judge a place on it's name. I thought it was a chinese/japanese place when i first heard about it.

Quite wrong.

An oxymoron, Shirley?

Philistines.........

Get some new material Malcolm. You're better than this cut-and-paste tosh.

I have sat through the odd episode but not being a big TV fan I was not aware of that Malcolm.

What Pete is trying to say is that he prefers to spend his evenings surrounded by the works of Homer, Milton, Jilly Cooper et al, rather than watching TV. The choice of the intelligentsia.

HP,

Urano!

Although I have to say I don't "get" Vic Reeves humour.

That would explain the !*!@# 'jokes' you keep subjecting us to.

Excellent venue, good beer, good service and good company.

This reminds me of the North East tourist thingy's strapline...

Passionate People, Passionate Places

Hats off to Pete.

Balls Denzel... boobtubes r out! PS U only don't visit the station because you fear the station!

I don't fear the Station, I pity the Station, with it's binge drinking and loose-limbed malevolence 24/7. Plus, and let's face it, it's kack.

Incidentally, boobtubes are never out.

No there isn't, you're making it up.

Watch yourself Denzel last time I said such a thing the Bedlington Lynch Mob were after me!

I'm not scared of them, I'm Ronnie Rockhard me.

Nowt wrong with the Station Denzel, get yoursel in the Clayton or the Station club man, marvelous places or even the Percy.

I can confirm that the Station Club is, of course, a quality venue.
