Read Wessex Tales by him at school, meh would sum it up pretty well. In other news Andy Hunt is 50 today. ****, I remember when he was a promising young kid striker. "Promising" as in a bit ****. Ardiles loved him but he never got a look in under Keegan. And he had so much gel in his he looked like a walking blob of grease.
The boat was ****ing class. 20p a shot for shorts (not dwarfs) on Weds nights a £1 a pint on Thursdays....many a day i was auto-pilot at work the following day after rolling in the house at 6am. Idols was ****....birds with their tits out was the only highlight but if you could find that in a good few bars (and back alleys) back then if you played your cards right !! Nowt like a reach-around with a cheeky little finger up the hoop.....laaaaahhhhhhvly !!!
Did Tess of the D'urbervilles for a levels and it's like a series of eastenders in a book. I wasn't a fan to be honest but it had its moments ( blood dripping through the ceiling) and the last chapter was a litany of quotes you'd heard before but never knew where they were from.
You had a membership card? I never went out of my way to visit. Spent a few week removing the bottling equipment from the old blue star brewer up at SJP in my early working life and a few months commissioning the hydraulics operating system on the baltic bridge in early 2000's. Nothing special regarding nights out
in all honesty I preferred the local pubs where you know people and there's a pool table... I mean I went to town a bit, but usually I just wanted to go home to my local after an hour.
