It's the p's and the d's that separate the sheep from the goats! :)

There once was a 1d bar of chocolate, though by my day it was rather tiny.

Mind you a 6d (2.5p) bar of Cadbury's Fruit & Nut from Watsons Newsagents lasted several pages of The Eagle comic on the United bus. Sheer quality - except the United bus! :D

I believe "hog's eye" is the phrase that pays.

so did anyone ever see the hogs eye tab smoker? or was he an urban myth like those that rumoured that you could freely buy and/or take drugs on the premises or that if you went over to 'the blyth side' you might die...

the one vivid memory i have of the domino was standing near the front door, on the uppermost landing (where the tables where). it happened the same every time, a loud shout, a breakage of glass then the 'mexican wave' of bodies all piling in for a piece of the action.

was a great viewpoint, never did find out if anyone got badly hurt.

the wave nearly always started at the right hand bar at the bottom of the 'chill-out room' staircase, moved accross the middle landing where the pillars were, back again, then down onto the dancefloor.

ahhhh, the good old days!

And Denzel been captured by big Kim :blink:

Ah! yes, I remember Kim, a classy lady well suited to Denzel, and also the manager who left one of the young staff 'up the duff'. If her mother finds out the guy will be castrated :D

Well don't tell her to come out this Friday night; though no doubt Thelma and Mrs Hair will 'miraculously' bump into us during the course of the evening.
