Wow the Vulcan used to be rough as fuck. Gorton isnt though, I grew up around there. Me and my m8s used to doing guy fawks outside the Gardeners Arms, lived on that street, Oxenholme Walk.

The Angel used to be nice and still looks like it is, same with the Nelson down the road. Thx for shareing.

It just came up youtube and I recognised the outside of the Angel so I scrolled through his "litter louts" chat and watched him having a booze in all the pubs.

Gorton isn't rough really, it's just a bit shady but tell me an old housing estate in Manchester that isn't. :)

From posh Reddish/Denton myself mate ;) the Nelson's the only one me and my mates used to go in
(mainly because you could get away with smoking weed in their front beer garden without getting into grief)

I remember somebody telling me years and years ago that whatever you want, anything, you name it, anything...
...well if you went into the Vulcan somebody in there would be able to get it/do it for you! :)

I don't think I've ever been in the Vulcan :)

So good! If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year, it’s that rest is productive too. I gave ukwritings https://ukwritings.com/assignment-writer a shot to help with my workload and now I’m functioning like a real human again. Spent today cooking a big brunch, journaling, and just catching up with myself. Highly recommend giving yourself the same space.

Yup, the Vulcan or the Wagon and Horses across Hyde Road.

I watch his YT video strangely entertaining.

I'm in Denton/DB so most of the pubs mentioned are on my route to the match. Never been in tho.

2 of my mates ended up in the vulcan for the QPR match. Tried to sneak in the ground without success.

That was the nearest pub they could find that had room for them to watch it.

...and you never saw or heard from them again. :)
 
For context Tunes of Glory was filmed and released 15 years after the end of the war. Many men were still suffering what we now call PTSD so most of the audience would have lived or be living this. Post war after years as a PoW my Granddad worked for the GPO on the phone lines. I knew at one stage due to "shell shock" he was relieved of driving duties. He passed away in 1990 and I learned from my Dad some years later that was because on a single crewed line repair job up a telegraph pole a passing motorist found he was trying to hang himself off the pole.
 
Lined up to watch are :

A documentary about The Making of The Prisoner
Mike Oldfield doing Tubular Bells live at the beeb
A thing about the painting Las Menninas.

The excitement never ends, though I am actually looking forward to the Tubular Bells things, I have not heard it for ages and me and the mrs are going to have a bit of a seventies night. Watch that, eat some Vesta currys etc.,

Poor man. I’ve said many times that not enough has been said or done for those men who had shell shock, mental health issues or what you want to call them. I honestly believe all those men who were shot at dawn because they went AWOL, due to shell shock should be pardoned also. They did not deserve to die.
