boboneleg Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Paolo and I had a walk around Bristol centre and the waterfront today. The sky was beautiful and no rain (apart from the bit near @Slowlycatchymonkey ) The Hatchet Inn, reputedly the oldest Inn in Bristol............. The Council House, where they manage to spend money on useless shite day after day after day................ We are twinned with Porto ........... The central library............. Bristol cathedral............. There's even a statue of @Buckster 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we went for some lunch and had the shittiest Foccacia I've ever eaten........... Paolo had some birthday money to spend so we popped off to the shops before getting the bus back home................. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandered in there on my own in Summer 1971 and it was full of hookers and Skins......then this guy staggered across the room with his head split open. Very intimidating place with guys trying to stare you out! I was just gone 17 and it was my first time out of Swansea. Anyway, a full crew of us from Swansea, Gorseinon, and Bont (around 30 in total which included a couple of total psychos) went back there about a year later on bikes, and in cars and vans! Plus, I'm fairly sure that my mate Whippet from Clase had his sawn off in his old Hillman Minx cos he always carried it round for protection from Skins. Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding we got banned from there within 15 minutes (and the Police got called) cos one of the psychos completely destroyed a metal serving tray by repeatedly hitting himself over the head with it while singing "Mule Train". Why he chose "Mule Train" I have no idea! I told him "Whole Lotta Love" would have been a much better choice! He eventually got put down for Grave Robbing (don't ask me) and one of the other ones there got life for Murder a couple of years later. I'd estimate half of them never made it into the 80's for various reasons. Over 50 years later I could well be the only one left standing! Good days......simple pleasures back then! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bloke who used to do the mule train thing, he wore a Watneys Red Barrel tray into the Hatchet as he had already punched a hole in it while performing in the Full Moon. There was a full-on punch up within five minites of him walking in there There was a pub just over the road on the opposite corner and there were regular fights in the middle of Frogmore street between the two pubs when the pubs used to kick out at 11.00pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 @boboneleg you can get bloody anything delivered here in less than 30 minutes, it’s mental! Especially for someone like me who keeps their fingers crossed they’ll be a grocery delivery slot left for a week away Last time I lived in a city none of this instant stuff existed! My mobile phone made phone calls and sent dodgy three characters to one key txts, and then came the iPhone and apps. Bloody marvellous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
