The best thing about the boo was thinking about the doner kebab at the end of the night. Badly packed of course.

Not necessarily, I lived opposite the student nurses dorm on Rosberry street, my better half is a member of this forum, if you don’t hear from me again, it was fun whilst it lasted, unfortunately that’s the last thing she said to me

Ah so the G&D was your local then? I lived near the next junction down for a couple of years, the one outside the hospital with the traffic lights next to the handily placed funeral directors.
Oh aye, some rum’uns in the Grove alright. Not your better half of course.

Never liked the G&D I’d go in the woodsmans or the three tun’s but the Grove early doors just for the nutters

I met Ian Wright on a night out in Luton a few years back. I called him a big time Charlie ****, because he refused to let me buy him a drink.

Dougie ‘legitimate businessman’ Flood’s place.

Snogged a copper I used to go to school with last time I was in there. She’ll be coming up for retirement (as a copper) now, assuming she did the full 30 years, which is fucking depressing.

No ones called you Wayne, this place is going to the dogs.

In the early 80s me and my mate ran on the pitch at the Real Old Trafford after Lancashire had won a Sunday League game. My mates favourite player was Neil Fairbrother, so we went up to him. My mate was about to say “Well played”, but before he got words out, Fairbrother yelled at him “Get off the fuckin’ pitch”!
My dad also had a cricket-related let-down when we met an utterly wasted Basil D’Olivera at New Road the day Wasim Akram single-handedly won the (Natwest?) quarter final game for us. The rate and graphic-ness of Dolly’s swearing would’ve made Jerry Sadowitz blush.

Yeah, actually I think I recall the G&D burning down in an unfortunate fire, though I could be mistaken. Spent most of my time further down, between the Grapes and the Bull.
