Had a bag of salt and vinegar Chipsticks for dinner - may have to have an onion and a Cornetto later.

not even 10 minutes ago i was just discussing the delights of the place...

and asking whether there was really a chap who used to walk about with a cigarette tucked into his... *blushes*... well, whats the politically correct term for it....?

anyway, was he real?!

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

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

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!

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

Our very own version of the shopkeeper in "Mr Benn" whose appearance from nowhere was an infallible sign that today's adventure was over.
