The Staying in on New Year's Eve thread

[chesterbells]

Opposite the Rising Sun, an older crowd than the Bamboo and the majority oif them think they are something special and/or something they are not.

I think it is now 11 pubs/bars from the Rising Sun to the Phoenix (George & Dragon), a lot of pubs have shut down but a few smaller bars plus Spoons now.

Ok, cheers, I know where u mean.
Got some mixed memories of the bamboo, to put it mildly ;)
Used to hammer the Bulls head a fair bit too

Last time I drove down the A6 I thought they obviously aren't big on cooking in the grove; more take-away's in that stretch than anywhere I've ever seen.

I think Zuri is where the Rawalpindi used to be, went to a 50th there earlier this year, not too bad as it was a private do.
As for the Bamboo, enshrined in the history of the Grove, thanks due to the Beeley family.

Bulls Head, did you use it when the dutch fella, Henny(?), had it? What about the Bees Knees, your era? Now that was a mad house.
Grew up in the Grove and have many memories of when there were 14 pubs between the Fiveways & the George & Dragon, mayhem on a Friday night.

Likewise mate, used to go that pub now knocked down, where KFC and Maccy Ds is now.
No don't recall Bees Knees though.
Of course if you really felt like pushing the boat out there were the delights of the Jolly Sailor, Hamiltons, Quaffers (ouch!), and a bit later that godawful club opposite Stockport station

We have tickets for a pub we go in anyway and have been charged £3 each for the privelige,get nothing in return so just doesn't make sense.
Haven't decided what to do yet as to be honest it's no different to any other night ,except the nonsense at 12.

The choice between driving to a house party we've been invited to so one of us can't drink, 3 kids in tow (2 of whom will be bored) at a house where I won't know anyone but am aware that the bloke is a plastic rag

or

Stay in, get a few beers in, put the Wii on and thrash the kids at bowling and throw a few shapes to Just Dance.

Going out around 4, back around 8, in to see the neighbours for an hour with a bottle. In bed and asleep by 11 so i cant hear the fireworks at 12.

Quiet one for me. Venison casserole and some nice Merlot. Followed by some shit Greek TV and saying 'Xpovia Polla' 50 times. Fuck it, where did I put that rope and wooden chair with the dodgy leg.
