    aaah my local when I was living at home. Still go there for a pint with my bruv when I am over that way.

    Can't believe they'd get the go ahead for that to be honest ...... do they think over 25's would mean less trouble then LOL .

    my dad's still a regular although he prefers the porcupine in the village now. we've been on the day trip to the epsom derby with the royal tavern a few times, great laugh.

    they often opened 24 hours anyway, my neighbours keep finding my dad asleep in the garden on sunday mornings!

    i used to play football with a lee grain. shaved head, think he was a crane operator or something, bit of a loon on the football pitch (just ask oohaah, peakey or morts-genius). is this the same fella?

    i once played centre half with lee and was nearly physically sick at some of the "tackles" he was making. so much so i persuaded the manager to change tactics at half time and play me in midfield just to get away from him. top fella though.

    northstandsteve,
    russ that you mentioned yesterday posts on here occasionally, well he's registered, you might know that anyway.

    i love lee, he did me a big favour once... tho i might think differently in years to come!!
