The Worlds' Best Beercall
Love 'em or hate 'em, you have to admit that beercalls are engraved into the heart of service socialising.
Most have been to one, most have had a leaving section/sqn/service beercall held for them.
BUT, if you could have a beercall to end all beercalls, where would you hold it? why are you having it and who would you most like to invite??????????????????????????

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I liked the venue at New Plymouth (name dropping). The urinals were as long as the bar only double sided. BLISS.

My ultimate beercall would be at the teepee rock club in limassol. what a really laid back place.
The reason to have a beercall? In memory of the guys who died in the Iraq herc crash.
Who would I most like to invite? I think it would have to be Buff Hoon just so that I could watch him suffer in the "after five pints chest prodding session"
With the rest of the ppruners queuing up behind me for their turn at him.

The reggae bar down the beach from the Pelangi Beach Hotel on Langkawi has to be the venue - Elvis, do you still have the bill for the beers with the Reds? Something like 164 beers = a squillion Ringits = 2 pounds 65p or thereabouts. I'd have the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and all the fighter pilots who could make it.

Whilst waiting for a new bit for our broken FunBus in Wichita, we had to move out of the Marriott because the rooms were needed for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
So we moved to the Holiday Inn. Which had nightly FREE Happy Hours, no cost, nada, zippo, zilch dollar$ - and was within staggering distance of the local Hooters!
Happy times!! So a beer call there would be great; the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders would be most welcome and we might even allow the odd FJ mate in as well! Just as long as they don't say "Team", "Bona".........or "Reds".

There's even a Hooters in Nottingham now....
Don't suppose it'll be quite the same as the one on Clearwater, Florida! See www.originalhooters.com , not the more politically correct www.hooters.com .
Another good FunBus destination back before things were ruined by the fun detectors and that tit Kelvin Rucksack.

If you Know where Burger King and the City Pride Bar on the main Limassol drag (not too far from the Step and the Old Triangle), you can't go too wrong. Walking towards BK, turn left at the City Pride and walk up that road for around 150 yards.
You can't miss it because to get in you walk through a wigwam which is a bit of a giveaway to the place..
Good music, relaxed crowd (both Cypriot and British) Ice cold beer in deep frozen glasses, waitress service, good prices. Doormen have a no tw@ts policy
None of the "Oi you lookin at my bird / did you spill my pint" types and fortunately only chilled holidaymakers go in there.
I took a couple of friends in there for the first time a few weeks ago and they didn't want to go anywhere else.
A little gem.

The Nottingham Hooters is quite a nice little place. handy for the football, rugby and cricket grounds and good food. The girls vary from fantastic to a bit ropey though.
There was also one in Birmingham but, oddly enough, it died a death.

I would like to hold a beercall for all who are leaving in the curent rush to Heathrow.
We would hold it in a nice pub, somewhere in the UK, probably on a Bank Holiday Weekend - something I've not seen for a while.
I would invite all the people I've let down/cancelled over the last 11 years, to try and prove that once again, I am a real person, not an apologetic answerphone message.

There are many people here on this forum, both serving and ex serving.
How about sorting a PPruners( Military) get together so the faces behind the handles can have a talk, whinge, beer( most def beer) and get some kind of members club up and running.
While we can't replace the service / ex service associations, maybe we can form some kind of charity to support various organisations, while having a damn good time doing it.
Thoughts please.

Beagle,
Ref McGillycuddys in Lewers Street. Us Nimrod chappies vastly preferred Dukes, under one of the Outriggers especially for a late afternoon, right on the beach with the approptiate sights to be seen.
Mind you there are some good pubs around the Lewers Street area
