    Ha, none taken, half of them I liked, I'd expect a wide range on here, and some really old ones that I wouldn't know.

    loved the feeling of it raining downstairs 89 was my fist visit

    we must have bumped into each other

    was a regular in Tom Tom club for too long
    welsh club wasnt a fav of mine, but 2 of the boys used insist we went as they had GF's who were in there every night
    model inn, occasionally
    metros, for the rave nights
    old Orleans, 2 for 1 cocktail nights were fun and we felt sophisticated


    I'll Add the Hippo and Time Flies to that ( but we have chatted about them in the past )
    Downtown was our meeting place, some of the Bus and me of the Train
    Philly for the occasionally night with Students
    Queens Vaults for 2 bottles of K Cider poured in a pint glass, for when you really wanted to hammer it

    On a Sunday afternoon, Captains Wife in Sully and Inn at the deep end in Penarth

    The Philharmonic was my usual Friday night out in the centre then onto the wine press or Montys in Charles street

    Alternative night out in Neros was a blast too !

    Later drinking at the Travelers when the Deri, Nines and Butchers had shut, the drink driving must have been monumental back in the day.

    Monty’s, Philharmonic, Upstairs in the Crooked Stairs, the club opposite that was below ground level (can’t remember its name), all of the Brains pubs in town, the Cowbridge Road pub crawl, the Butchers in Canton, never was one for the bigger clubs like the Rank, but didn’t mind Titos.

    Dorothy’s or El Greco’s to finish the night off.
