Baverstocks is now a residential care home (not joking).
For the people who used to attend on Thursdays no doubt :hehe:Quote:

After she whispered how she would use a few of her party pieces into my ear, I told her the only thing a sane, heterosexual could do.Quote:

Still no need to wade into his rohypnol either. I’d imagine the Valium and zopli one the residents are plied with would do the trick.Quote:

I'm pretty sure its been demolished now.
‘The Spunk Shed’ (Pontlottyn Legion) was the place to go on a Sunday. Still makes me chuckle thinking about the place.Quote:

I can laugh about it now...

Pulled a couple of 'ladies' from New Tredegar the one night. That was an experience I'll never forget.
New Tredegar, **** me you’re brave!:hehe:Quote:

Yeah, sadly The County Hotel is no longer there. Had some great nights in there. I remember I pulled some fat bird the one night, bought her a kebab and told her I loved her, the rest is history. The following weekend she comes up to me at the beginning of the night when I'm stone cold sober and with all my mates, and says ''Hiya, you going to buy me a drink then?'' panic stricken and full of embarrassment in front of my mates who I'd not mentioned the previous weekends shenanigans for obvious reasons. I blurted out ''I can't sorry love, my missus is over there." She then launched her Bacardi and Coke straight in my face, much to the amusement of not only my mates, but the rest of the pub too :hehe:Quote:

No my missus has banned me because drinking in the club with a bookies attached to it is not ideal when you’re a compulsive gambler 😂Quote:

Brynmawr. The Tal and the Rugby club were Christmas do venues when I was employed by the council over there. That was entertaining. Still the coldest place I’ve been to around South East Wales.Quote:

we had a battle with troedirhiw up there i think they were called ?
Nightlife round here these days is pretty poor. I remember the time when you'd have to queue early to get tickets for the Griffin and Rugby Club, before having a few round town in the Gwesty, Punch, Vaults, Head and Talisman, or the Chartist as it used to be known.Quote:

Somebody shouted “Shush... it’s Gazza on the news.” A group of old beauties in the corner without any prompting all started singing “Fog On The Tyne” in Gazzaesque fashion and the whole bar joined in dancing about.
Made me laugh even more when some of them found out Raoul Moat had been on a deadly rampage and felt aghast.
Zero.Quote:

So you only went out in the Summer then. You should see our Winters :hehe:Quote:

Got into the office to be told “Go home there’s nobody else here.” I got back to Merthyr travelling down from Abertillery. Ynysddu and Ystrad Mynach in comparison looked tropical. The micro climate there is freezing. I’m used to the wet but the cold there is something else.
Its something else. A few years back I was working with a guy from Blaina, which is two miles down the road. I couldn't get the van out of a six foot drift the one day. He phones me and asks where I am? I tell him and he doesn't believe me. Not so much as a flake down there :hehe:Quote:

Georgetown haven’t got a team in some of the junior age groups these days. Sad times considering the players produced over the years.Quote:

i wouldn't exclusively say just Cardiff and Swansea but the UK as a whole
I've seen Sludge twice. Once sitting on a bench next to Blackweir bridge and another time sitting in a steamed up car in the Castell Coch car park.
Sorry to hear about that.Quote:
