Name the best Boozer
Ah, Boogey Street '79 - 824A Flt - The image of Chief D*wson loosing the keys to the flight staff office whilst performing the dance of the flaming ar*ehole on the roof of the toilet block will be preserved for ever, not least because you could later buy photos of it, for a dorra.
The image was in sharp contrast to where the Flt got flying speed earlier in the day - Singapore Slings at Raffles of course.

12 lunch time to 2am
Its got to be Harvesters for sharpners, Dip Brunch for food and a tipple, down to fiddlers to make sure your well on your way, warblers cos its on route, JJ's to overflow and into BJ's to dance it all off untill 2 before retiring with fish and chips from the eatery just outside. Happy days
"Chez Waynes" in Nice. Spit and sawdust, but run by ex-pat Aussies who'd encourage you to start dancing on the tables! Can't find it sober though..
Cowboys..I do hope it hasn't gone, what a bar!
Block 18 Bar at RAF Trogir...good booze, broken Americans and the "Cage de Dance"..
The Goose - Many, many happy nights...
And of course, the Original Lot 22, nothing will ever compare...

Sad but true.....
Cowboys in Calgary did close down some months back after the last Stampede.
Rumour is its just moving 'cross town & re-opening.....
Standby for further.
I always enjoyed the ales in The Blue Bell Inn, on the road from CGY to Woodhall Spa, around 10 years ago.
Is it still any good ?

Raul's Rose Graden!!!!
Not named after the flowers!
Was last there in 2000 I think. Not a place to take the wife, more like the set from the film"From Dusk till Dawn".
Dubai - many moons ago - Cellar Bar, owned by my Papi.
Also the Scots bar at the old sports centre. Many happy evenings and bad days.

I was in The Blue Bell about 6 months ago and I have to say the place has gone downhill. Still the same great history but under new management. The 'new' landlord has no sense of the history of the place and I fear won't give a second thought to redecorating. When we were last in there it had the atmosphere of a coal miners working mans club. The only people in there were the Landlord/Mrs Landlord and 3-4 of there 'mates'. They didn't even interrupt their pint to serve you.
So much for the days of a free lift home after the lock-in.
I hope things have improved.

Wig 'n Gown Gibraltar - sadly, on a flying visit last year the place had become a manicure parlor. And Penenope's is long gone too. Back there again next week for a day or two - can any more up-to-date members point me to decent watering holes?

Macrahanish/Campbeltown anyone?
Can't remember the name of the bar on account of the thigh length boots and fishnet stockings the bargirls wore. Beadwindow? Bollocks! 20 year old Yanks with crewcuts shouting,"Hey dude! Check out the inflatable we just filled with Bud in the bar!". Chance of Irish terrorism against Americans in Scotland in the 80s? Nil!
Had to walk back to base. Sober after 3 miles, pissed off after 5. Got home after...er, well I was very, very drunk. I think there was more than one bar.

You cannot be serious!!
Would the moderators please strike from the record any bar within the Morayshire area and all references to the 'Spindrifter'
How about Finnigans wake and No1 Rutland place EDI ?
Anything else is a blur, like the time on that Floating Eye hospital in Gib harbour - and they made me do radios on the way back.

The Herbert Inn, Townsville
The general decor of the 'Herby' and smell that emanates from the lavs exemplifies the absolute functionality of this fine drinking establishment. No great night out occurs without a snifter at this joint!
Patrons, you know who you are

No problem Scuffer. Just reel off a whole bunch of places you've ever been to and google an international hotel in that location. They always make for fantastic pubs and we all get to see how worldly wise and travelled you are.

K.Whyjelly,
You brought back memories when you mentioned 'the Church'. That place of worship moved to numerous locations around London during the 90s as it continually had its licence revoked. A number of us based at Bentley Priory used to frequent the Church during its short stint in Kilburn - only stopped when we all unwittingly appeared in a photograph that was printed in the Sunday Sport extolling the virtues of the place (so good that the Staish at the time got hold of said publication and let it be known in no uncertain terms that he was not impressed by his JOs choice of social outlet).
