There's a pub in Caernarfon called the Black Boy, also has the name the Black Buoy, and used to be called the Kings Arms, so there's a mix for you.Originally Posted by Maurice Swan
Cracking pub too
Thanks for the name-check, it's always nice to get a mention from one of my many fans, but to be honest I couldn't give a **** about pub names. They change all the time. Indeed, my local changed its name in order to appear a bit more traditional. The amended name made it sound a bit more naff, but then its name had always sounded naff anyway.
Imagine being upset about a pub you're never visited changing its name. Strange times indeed.
Wasn't there a Plum tree somewhere in there?
You had to bring that up didn't you.
I'm in total melt down now.
What about are traditions sic
I can't believe what's going on in this great country of ours! They're taking down statues of people I've never heard of in places I've never been, they're covering up monuments I've never visited, they're changing the names of pubs I never drink in and they're removing TV shows I never watch from streaming platforms I never use. It's an absolute disgrace! Before you know it, they'll stop selling magazines I never buy, stop printing books I never read and stop playing music I don't like on radio stations I never listen to. My life is never going to be the same again!
By the way, have I mentioned I live in France?
Don't tell me that they have changed the name of Le Garcon Noir in Perigord. Mon Dieu!
Sic indeedThough I do note you trying to curry favour with the hysterical....sorry, historical traditionalists here with your obscure latin abbreviations!
If the historic Latin abbreviations go I'm joining the Latin abbreviations fundamentalist democratic alliance.Sic indeed
Imagine getting wound up by Maurice again!
Strange times indeed!
I will give your alliance a few weeks and one of your ilk will probably end up pissing by a statue of Marcus Aurelius
In the article about this, it says its been called the Black Boy for 404 yrs. No more it seems.It's been called that for closer to 200 years according to the article Maurice alluded to. Got it's name from Charles II's nickname that his mother gave him, apparently.
20+ pubs in the UK with "Black Boy" in its name. I went to "The Black Boy" in Hull after a game a few years ago and thought "what the f**k?! Surely you can't have a pub called that!" Weirdest thing was that the doorman was a black guy
Anyway... times have changed... unfortunately, it seems, for a lot of people who would rather we were still neanderthals. I mean, the invention of fire would be "changing history" for those who were happy being cold and eating raw meat etc.
Don't know why they don't just burn it to the ground now that we’ve discovered fire 😁
Interesting that an organisation trying to defeat racism is called ‘left wing’. It doesn’t say much for the right, does it?
When I was in uni, the SU bar banned Chris Brown's music, which I love to dance to, but I wasn't moaning. OP needs a sense of perspective
Nobody gets wound up by Maurice. He's either a daft old racist or yet another multi. But nobody gets wound up by him.
So just ignore him then. He seems to thrive on attention.
Must be a different "Black Boy" then...apologies. The article I read said it had been called the Black Boy since 1800 or something like that.
When I was at college the students union voted to ban the conservative student society from holding meetings on student union property
So they met in a pub , about 7 of them
That's the sort of democracy I like
That reminds me of the people who keep slagging off anti-fascists...
What's the opposite of an anti-fascist?
How often do you see right wing groups marching against child poverty , government benefit reforms , the state of the NHS etc
Where's the fun in that?
There is a pub in dinas Powys called the swan
That should be renamed
Or torched
shouldnt mention the black cock inn i guess
If that's the one in Hull, we went in there before a match up there. Asked a Hull born colleague where to go and she said it was a good traditional pub to visit. We won 2-1. Good trip - remember standing next to the boss for the game, and JET scoring. .
If it's a completely different one, then, sorry.....
It’s called The Royal India now Sludge. Restaurant and Takeaway.
