I heard that (substantiated) but haven't heard that it had been abandoned. Shame that.

They do have the decency to pemit it to be passed from generation to generation.
I, however, would fully intend to be there in person.
If only to p*ss off my sons.

I was told exactly the same thing.
Hopefully they'll be able to secure enough funding with both seating and terracing because i think that'd be a much better stand and raise the capacity and corporate possibilities.

Also with geek mode set to full. The Tomcat is all but consigned to the history books now. With a certain irony, the last few in service serve with the Iranian air force. The USN retired their last squadron in September 2006. The Mustang is Crazy Horse, originally built as a D model in 1944.

Geek mode off.

Ah of course, the Shah bought some in the early/mid 70s.

I've still got some DVDs of yours (*).
Buggered if I can remember which ones though.






(*)[size=59 For clarity, and for the benefit of persons from the environs of Tadcaster, I must point out that I refer to RL DVDs.[/size

Ignoring the footnote...

You may have wandered off to pursue other "interests" since your interest in aircraft waned, but I have not followed you in that particular direction

Unfortunately as you will have seen, your clarification was in too small a script for some to read



On the DVD's I have no recollection (your honour) and therefore invite you to keep them as a gift. haven't seen the Landy(s) about recently have you moved on either in location or car ownership? I trust the world is treating you and yours well, please pass on my regards to your Mrs.

you have to bring me into discussions about porn mr prig albert.
well let me tell you straight boy, you want to borrow any you only have to go next door. mr field has my copy of geordie harlots finishing school. said it reminded him of someone

I said I [ihoped[/i it would remind me of something.

In the event it did - Grab a Granny Night at The Rex in Whitley Bay, with real grannies.

You filthy boy.

when i was 20 or so they had a grab a granny night at the old mill in wetherby, now sadly knocked down.
happy days indeed till a fracas one night saw us asked to leave and never return

Thread drift win.

What a place the Rex is, i have stopped there on numerous occasions on stag do's

I lived about fifty yards away from it for five years, in The Queens (later known as Whiskey Bends), most of my early wages were spent in Whitley Bay.

Have been in there quite a few times on the lash

Doesn't look too good on this pic though:

Hope you didn't leave it in that state

Beau Brummels in Guiseley had a bit of a grab a granny vibe, especially during the week.

Awful awful place - only ever contemplated when hammered, but more booze required, but you couldn't be bothered trekking in Leeds

My room was right on the top floor, one of the two dormer rooms at the front, you cross the road there and its the North Sea and then Denmark - lived there from 78 to 83 - its still like that, we're back there every month or two and will probably end up living back in Tynemouth sooner or later.

That looks like a youg Brent Webb on the left!!!

I met my wife in there, and she's 7 years younger than me



Wednesday nights were 'Grab a Granny' when I was in late teens/early 20's, which is 20 odd years ago

typo

similar era, probably 85-92, normally after a majpr sesh in Otley, when the last thing i really needed was more ale.

I can think of one particular shocker from brummels.

Saw her a couple of weeks later in Woolworths in Otley, and virtually commando crawled out of the shop to avoid being seen.

she may well have been doing the same thing.

That was the era when Otleys pubs were decent. Saturday afternoon in Otley. Saturday night in Towngate, Guiseley, then stagger down to Regent, on to Station, followed by a wobbly walk down to Brummels, where mates were bouncers, so never paid

I played down at Otley so from the age of 17 to about 26, the otley pubs took the vast majority of my income, especially on Saturdays - there used to be some cracking pubs, was in the Junction a few weeks ago for the first time in years, was ok, but not the junction of old.

Its the best pub in Otley, which unfotunately, is not saying much,
