Mrs B has been advised that Mary Shelley and husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, are buried in St Peter's in Bournemouth and a local watering hole is called The Mary Shelley...so you can bet your life savings that we'll be going there! As it's the brightest, shiniest, utterly horrible Wetherspoons that I've ever seen, you can also bet that we won't be staying long...
Really would like to see you and the Mrs eating fish and chips with a few bears and the Damned die hards
Only the B side to Grimly Fiendish... ...the album version is a very, very, VERY poor imitation... The second version was put on the album by MCA, without the band's permission, who were clearly staffed by deaf ****ers. Whilst posting, a big call out to Henry Badowski, who actually wrote the tune and got shafted by the band when they nicked it...
My union have their annual conference every year in Bournemouth and various branches tend to use local pubs and bars to the international centre as a place to meet , ours is the Brass Hauss , go for a swift one after the days agenda and look at the clock its 23.30
He seemed to know where to go without any assistance. 3 years ago, shortly after my dad died, my younger brother, my cousin and his parents (my mum's sister and her husband, Barry) and I, were drinking round the swimming pool in the wee small hours. The subject of my dad's family came up (the 2 sides detested each other), especially my paternal grandparents' pubs - particularly the one in Clerkenwell...which Barry frequented and he proclaimed to be full of prostitutes...FULL OF THEM... ...he then went on to name a number of other Islington hostelries where more than a pint of Courage Best was on offer. We tried to stop him, but it was one of those scenes that couldn't be redirected. I understand that my aunt didn't talk to him for weeks... Serves him right for being a Gooner.
You can’t knock Wetherspoons. You can get drunk for a tenner- and have a meal too! And paying homage to the author of Dracula too! Fangtastic!
There are 4 redeeming features to this Weatherspoons......and none of them are the 'food': 1. The name 2. The cheap beer (and that blokes cool shirt),.. please log in to view this image 3. This picture of The Bride of Frankenstein: please log in to view this image 4, The 2 stools like this... please log in to view this image It was a pleasure to go somewhere else....and I mean that...even though the next place was a graveyard,
