Out with the old...in with the new. Mebby I should have waited to close this forum on the last day of the year but 175 is a nice round (ish) number.

Notice the new 'reply to an individual comment' function. This should make it easier to understand what's been said and who is being sarcastic specifically to whom.

Prez

22/12/2011 01:09:07 pm

Just click on 'reply', like so...

That's good, eh?

Ewan

22/12/2011 01:56:29 pm

wow new page but did I mention about my bad arm on the old page, the one I had to pull a huge piece of glass out of when I got glassed last friday in the napper maybe I did but ha there was blood all over the place, well some on my jeans anyway just thought I'd mention it again If maybe you've not heared

Prez

22/12/2011 03:40:16 pm

Hmmm the loss of blood seems to have given you the super power of being able to bugger up a comments page.

How come we can't reply to the above comment??

I still have a (limited edition) Xmas Card for you, mate.

First Lady

22/12/2011 03:44:58 pm

Ewan, I meant to get back to you sooner, but was still recovering from the sheer trauma of that night. Thank you so much for protecting me from the onslaught on glass, you are my hero. I hope your arm (and your jeans) recover soon. x

Ewan

24/12/2011 07:15:38 am

I am getting better and as for beening your hero I just did what any chum would have done to save a lady from harm

NNN

24/12/2011 05:53:54 am

Both full of man flu so not venturing into town but will see you all boxing night x

Prez

24/12/2011 06:29:39 am

That's a big shame both.

Have a nice Xmas and we will catch up on Boxing Night.

Prez

24/12/2011 06:51:58 am

Incidentally all, have you noticed we have just recorded our 10000th page hit?

Just in time for Xmas:)

Well done you page-clicking Chums.

Ewan

24/12/2011 04:37:30 pm

Happy Xmas everyone!

Hope you had a chumtastic birthday prez we certainly enjoyed the celebrations what a cracking turnout too, good times :-)

Prez

27/12/2011 01:41:25 pm

I certainly did....and looking forward to doing it all over again on NYE:)

I said last night that I would wait to put the Xmas pics up when they were all gathered in.

However I couldn't resist putting the one of You and Cheryl up as a 'Pic of the Week'

It's a good'un:)

ITT

25/12/2011 11:38:56 pm

Happy Birthday, Prez! Look forward to buying you a pint of genuine ale later. Have a great day.

Bon Voyage, Giz! Have'nt had a chance to play those cd's yet. I've put them on my laptop so i'll get them back to you when you return.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Neil & Kimbers

26/12/2011 02:51:34 am

Special thanks to those who got me my fantastic cards (I have got them all up) and such apt pressies.

Aye a good night at the Napper, but too full of people in the Rock Night.

I'm sorting through the pics from over Xmas and will upload them soon...keep checking back.

See you on Wed for a post-festive debrief (Possibly quite literally in Paul's case:))

HNY!

What time and where ??? for weds club woodys 2/3 ish

Prez

3/1/2012 03:29:53 pm

I believe Wednesday Chum club is at Woodies at 3:00 ish. But I am full of cold still (dunno where I could have got it from...Ewan) and might not get to work tomorrow in which case I will not make it:(

NNN

4/1/2012 02:16:14 am

A sober Happy New Year all...not nice to be back at work. Poor Prez, I had it before xmas (thanks to ITT), not nice. Hope his drink throwing incident didn't give undue concern, it was only over me slagging off Motley Crue & Def Lep.....drink in, wits out as they say. We were best of buddies when he got home, especially as his hang over was worse than mine for once, hahaha! Not sure when we will see you next as ITT's shifts run into weekends again soon & then we have Thin Lizzy/Clutch on 21st Jan in Newcastle, so keep chumming on our behalf!

ITT

4/1/2012 07:43:51 am

My apologies to all concerned on our chumestic incident. The 'Beast Of Bourbon' (see what i did there Stones fans) raised its ugly head!

My mantra for 2012 is:

"If you can't tek it, don't neck it!!!"

Prez

4/1/2012 08:11:49 pm

No apology needed both of you. If it's any consolation I didn't see/hear any of it.

I don't think anyone else did either....you may just have broken this news to the world:)

See you in the New Year, both.

Nick.

4/1/2012 02:19:23 pm

Well the decorations are down, Christmas is over, time to hibernate for another year! or... alternatively... any suggestions?

Prez

4/1/2012 08:22:06 pm

Greetings from my sickbed (If Ewan can exaggerate, why not me?).

Being poorly has given me the chance to knock up a video I wanted to do, which oddly enough links in nicely with XmasIain's comment above.

Have a look at the homepage. Audio is required.

Also....

Can someone tell me if the Beers were decent in Woodies on Wednesday Club? If so shall we meet there, at say 3:30?

Especially if the Napper is out of Scotch:)

NNN

5/1/2012 02:36:46 am

Love the video, cheered me up & cleared my second day back blues! Hope the snuffles have abated.

Prez

6/1/2012 03:44:30 am

Hmmm, no replies to my question.

Lets just assume it was all fine and meet in Woodies after 3:30

Ewan

6/1/2012 05:18:45 am

Yep me and Ruth may get in around 3:30, 4ish

Ewan

7/1/2012 09:57:53 am

How much fun can we have, just look at the New Years Eve pics that how much

Nicky

8/1/2012 10:12:15 am

Well done on the video's what a fun filled year we have had. The NYE pics are great too what a brill way to see the new year in with our crowd of chums we all look great through our beer goggles too. mmmm I wonder what the word is for a collection of chums .....

Prez

8/1/2012 04:41:06 pm

I would say the collective noun is possibly an orgy of Chums or simply a chum of Chums:)

Any other ideas?

Incidentally to the person who has added the 21st December's entry; very witty. I have amended the days following it accordingly.

Toddy link

8/1/2012 05:53:11 pm

Am I allowed to say BOLLOCKS on here?

NNN

9/1/2012 02:07:27 am

Love the NYE photos, just rang hubby to tell him his lights were on but no one was home....great night in napper, his midnight roar photo is hysterical! Here's to another great year.

As for the collective name, I'd go for a BARREL of chums.....

Prez

9/1/2012 05:07:33 am

Or how about a Firkin of Chums?

As in, 'Those Firkin Chums Of Anarchy'!

:)

NNN

9/1/2012 07:12:49 am

Hahahaha (I refuse to put lol!), firkin is good.

Pagoda Nick

9/1/2012 08:12:56 am

Hey Toddy.

Nice to hear from you.

Yes of course you can say 'Bollocks' here. There is a lot of Bollocks on this site:)

Hope you all had a good Xmas and New Year, we did as you can see.

:)

When are you over again. Playing or Visiting?

Nicky

9/1/2012 08:13:07 am

So far I'm with NNN a barrel of chums is good Firkin sounds very 'carry on' and thats fits the bill too any more ideas :-)

mike

9/1/2012 10:19:54 am

happy new year all i know its late but just got the laptop back as its had a dodgy xmas virus.i prefer the firkin myself

Nicky

10/1/2012 12:35:56 pm

Hi Mike and a Happy New Year to you too, hope the puppies are behaving. Lots of dodgy Xmas viruses about.

ITT

9/1/2012 02:25:14 pm

How does a 'jumble of chums' sounds?

Prez

10/1/2012 05:53:56 am

I have thought of a couple of more suggestions.

A Friendship Of Chums?

or

An Anarchy Of Chums?

:)

NNN

10/1/2012 07:29:33 am

A jumble of chums? What have I been feeding you hubby dearest!? An Anarchy of chums fits in nicely with my ocd nature & all things being connected & matchy matchy. So we have Firkin over a Barrel (Finbar Saunders, eat your heart out) and Friendship versus Anarchy?

ITT

10/1/2012 08:17:49 am

My favourite definition for 'jumble'' is 'to mingle in a state of disorder'! Sound familiar, chums?

I quite like a "CHUNDER" of chums or a "CULTURE" of chums or a "CLUTCH" of or whatever else begins with "C"

mike

11/1/2012 11:07:42 am

crotch?

Shaggy

14/1/2012 10:53:07 am

Back on the tinterweb, Yay! First thought on the collective noun was the beer inspired 'Bevvy of Chums' but a 'Chattering' may work more phonetically. As Pagoda Nick says, we do talk some bollocks here & I love it :)

Prez

16/1/2012 06:10:21 am

With all the indecision over deciding on a Logo, organizing the commemorative photo, dissagreements over where our Chum away weekend should be, and now the great collective noun debabte I reckon an uncertainty of Chums seems most appropriate....

:)

Nicky

16/1/2012 12:21:50 pm

Mike a crotch of chums? interesting but a bit sweaty. I'm liking a bevvy of chums. A chunder doesn't seam to fit as we all do keep our beer down, I appreciate you trying to incorporate our Australian friends. I think my fave is still a barrel of chums though. Welcome back shaggy x

Prez

16/1/2012 06:54:24 pm

Right lets settle the collective noun debate once and for all. I have posted a Poll at the top of this page. You can vote as often as you like and can vote for more than one each time you vote.

I'll close it when people get bored and stop voting.

Enjoy...

Nicky

18/1/2012 03:11:43 am

Shaggy

22/1/2012 01:59:05 pm

Nice one Kimbers, good to hear you got the sign-ups you needed. Carry on the good work, Yay! Loving the Stewie & Gizmo photos! ITT & NNN, you're still thinking like chums, even when you're on away days. There is absolutely no help for you two, haha! Just to say, cracking night last night, the best therapy after a week of nights :)

NNN

22/1/2012 10:54:12 pm

Glad you like the pics Shaggy, I was waiting to get kicked out of the shop! I liked Gizmo so much I bought him! The guy in FP says he'll be fine as long as I don't get him wet or feed him after midnight :o) No beer for Giz then!

Shaggy

23/1/2012 12:27:39 pm

No going out with you two either. That'll end up as a shed load of Lager & a midnight kebab for little Giz, not good! There's enough 'Beer Gremlins' in our crowd already & I'm putting myself up for that award. XX

Just been on the Haggis web site,did you know,Haggis hunting season runs from when they hatch ( 30 Nov ) until 25 Jan, closing date's 3 o'clock to day,you learn something new every day,how about that,

Prez

25/1/2012 05:03:33 am

They will be fresh for this afternoon. Mebby you can get Haggis number 0001 like you did with the first pint of the year :)

Prez

26/1/2012 01:14:18 pm

I have placed the Collective Noun Poll Vote. It's a one Chum(ina)/one vote, so choose wisely and, like good anarchists, lets all agree to abide by the democratic process:)

As I write this three of the Chuminas are busy trying to repeat the excellent performance of the Charity quiz we took part in at the Linton Holm. Tonight its a Robbie Burns Quiz, so good luck with that girls, make us proud.

Wasn't it just off Tottenham Court Road?

NNN

ITT

28/1/2012 07:43:45 pm

Ok, the game is up! Jumble is a crap noun for numerous Chums. I was scraping the 'firkin' 'barrel'!
Keep On Chumming!!!

Prez

30/1/2012 07:38:18 am

I was kinda coming round to it actually.

I will end the vote this weekend by the way, so if you haven't exercised your right of universal suffrage, do so soon.

Prez

30/1/2012 05:46:50 pm

New toy on the Home Page. I have put up a chat facility. This obviously only works if there are two or more chums on the site at the same time, which is unlikely.

Agreeing a time to meet to chat would be the best way to use it I suppose.

But remember what you write may be seen by others.

NNN

3/2/2012 06:52:51 am

Have a great night on Saturday all, ITT & I in Edinburgh to see a band so will miss out again, hopefully see a few of you on Wednesday all being well x

Prez

8/2/2012 03:06:43 am

I think the Collective noun vote has gone on long enough.

By an substancial margin we are now a BARREL of Chums (76.92%). Despite this I must admit I have used a JUMBLE of Chums (23.08%) a couple of times in e-mails, it really does describe a certain sort of Chum gathering.

See you all at the 'Barrel' in Woodies today.

Chum...chum...chum..

The other highlight was the support - Roz Williams (ex Christian Death) with Shadow Project.Lifelong friend of pscychobitch from hell wife no. 1

I'm sure there will be Chums a-plenty out, anyway.

I hope NNN gets back safe and sound and chowking for a beer:)

April 20th - The Brickyard
SILVER CLOUD
COL HARKNESS BAND
BUZZ ELLIOTT

Hope to see you all there and if any of you could pass the wor on to the old Kreeps crowd we'd like to make a reunion of it.
Nick I blatantly stole one of your photos for the back cover of our CD (Still Too Young To Die) but there's nowt you can do about it because we only the rights to our image and we can do what we like because we're famous rock stars and I couldn't give a rats anyway,Actually that's all a load of bollocks but you DO get a free copy of both of them!
Don't forget to boogie!

Prez/'Pagoda' Nick

Great news about the gig. We will be there and will spread the word to the 'Kreepers' we still see.

Glad the picture was useful. I'll wait until you are all multi-millionaires before starting litigation against you:)

Looking forward to seeing you mate.

Nick.

Toddy

19/3/2012 10:11:16 pm

I'll be over on April 4th then drifting around about - things like dragging Harkness to another Workington Reds match! If you cometo the gig abandon the Napper early and catch the support acts - we have chosen well!
The new CD is out - Too Fast To Live,Still Too Young To Die and available to all those who are interested, let me know and we're selling it cheap to cover costs because we're in it for the music not the proffit as our accounts will attest to!
See you all soon - don't forget to boogie!

Great pic, Prez. Reminds me of the times we all queued up like a photographic production line in our best clothes! The hairstyle must have been the standard of the day too!
Keep On Chumming!!!

Congratulations to Kimbers on her Weakest Link win. Who would have thought in an all Cumbrian final too. Now the secret's out, the drinks are on you! Only joking.
Keep On Chumming!!!

NNN

23/3/2012 03:02:40 am

Firstly, I agree with Nicky, how cute & freckly the pair of you look! And many congratulations to Kimmers, ITT & I agree you got some of the hardest questions too! Hope you got something silly & nice with the money & not a new sink or garden fence with the cash!

Kimbers

23/3/2012 05:36:47 pm

Thanks chums!!! Got totally stuck on some of the questions, that was a doddle though compared to keeping the result a secret!!! Money is still in the bank- ready for treating myself to a well deserved holiday maybe??? x

Prez

2/4/2012 07:54:17 pm

A date for the Chums away-day has been agreed by quorum. Check the calendar for more information.

Toddy

Well chummies - one more day at work then flying out tomorrow! See you in the Napper sometime then the Brickyard on the 20th

Don't forget to Boogie!

Smashing news and well timed as I am off work for two weeks:)

See you soon Toddy.

NNN

5/4/2012 03:04:19 am

ITT's shifts mean we can make the Brickyard, yeay. Unfortunately, thanks to my boss booking 20th as a hol we can't make Newcastle, boo hiss. Bizzarely he is in Newcastle for the weekend!

Nicky

5/4/2012 12:31:15 pm

Nice photos of Judiths Birthday Bash Thanks Judith Yummy buffet hope you had a great birthday. See you all tomorrow for good Friday drinkies :-)

NNN

19/4/2012 05:18:05 am

Unfortunately, due to work commitments (I'll need commited after this weekend!) I am unable to come out and play on Friday....working 6am until whenever on Friday & back in at 6am Saturday. Hope to catch you all soon. Love the new header by the way, very cool x

ITT

19/4/2012 06:28:36 am

Well done, Bobby for getting to your 5000th landmark of ales tasted. What a connoisseur!
Great psychedelic pics, Shaggy. If i did'nt know you better, i'd think you'd been shroomin' your tits off! Keep up the great work, chum.
Keep On Chumming!!!

Shaggy

19/4/2012 04:29:02 pm

Better be careful with the Fungi photos in the future or I'll be getting a reputation!!! Trying to make a bunch of 'old farts' look cool must count as Anarchistic?!? See you two when NNN is totally broken but amazingly THIRSTY. See other Chums tomorrow wether it be the during the day or the evenings R&R (& that works on two levels). See ya later Chums & Chuminas.

Nicky

20/4/2012 10:43:26 am

Morpheroo!!! just popped on the pics from Shaggy felt compelled to add Hawkwinds Master of the Universe on to accompany ~ ah perfect :-) Had a great Chum night out on Sat thanks to all. Every Brickyard has a Silver Lining or a Silver Cloud well it has tonight anyway See you all there chums xXXx

Ewan

21/4/2012 11:23:56 am

Simply just great pic's of the usual crowd on a great night out
CHUM CHUM CHUM

Shaggy

21/4/2012 03:56:47 pm

The photos of last week have come out well, plus I'd forgotten how good that clip of rainbow was :)

Prez

22/4/2012 08:22:30 pm

Calling all Chums. There is a Chum-away day this Sunday (29th April).

We are off to Newcastle again. The event is only loosely planned out, but basically...

Meet in Woodies at 8:00ish for a big stodgy fry-up

Then get the 9:05am train. There is a deal which means we can get two any-time return tickets for £27 (£13:50 each), so we will try to pair up. Any odd man out and we will have a whip round so no-one misses out.

Arrive Newcastle at 10:40.

Visit the pubs.

Return on the last train (8:15pm).

Back in Carlisle at 9:50 pm and in the Napper for 10:00pm:)

Couple of things.

-There is no pressure to stay the distance or be a beer monster. If a whole day on the beer isn't your thing, feel free to nip off and do shopping, tourist stuff for a while. If you want to/need to go early that's fine, the trains run every hour.

-It's always fun to have a theme. If anyone has any ideas (silly hats, comedy teeth, beer games, quizzes) smashing, feel free to organize it.

-If we do do games someone suggested a tax of a couple of quid each which the Treasurer (Shaggy) will keep to use for prize money or group incidentals, snacks and the like.

Any thing else I have missed?

Sound off if you are Chumming!

I am!!

Happy birthday Ruth and Paul looks like you had a good time going by the pics, sorry i missed it been doing other stuff, i must get in the Napper more :-)

Prez

24/4/2012 07:31:40 pm

Excellent page Neil, cool name too!

You have tapped into a rich vein of amusement.

Nicky

25/4/2012 03:19:19 am

Love the new layout Prez and The new pages. IT is truly a scary monster won't be able to sleep now. Maybe after 5 or 10 of these we can have a scary monster poll to reveal the scariest of them all :-) Newcastle will be a hoot sorry I can't make it but have a great time chums xxxx

Toddy

25/4/2012 07:35:02 am

Many many thanks to all those of you who came down to the Brickyard on Friday,especially you Nik and especially under the circumstances,I won't forget it.
I thoroughly enjoyed it...........shhhhhhhhh don't tell anybody but talks are under way about another one next year some time.

Nick

26/4/2012 07:53:11 am

It was pleasure to watch you all again. As you said I am probably one of the few that have seen all three gigs in the past 26 years, so I couldn't break my record:)

It made a very difficult day bearable mate.

Hope you like the pics.

See you again next year.....Paaaagooodaaa!!!

:)

Ewan

25/4/2012 01:58:47 pm

Thank you Neil for a mention on your page but think the other Capt may have said it better

neil

25/4/2012 04:26:04 pm

thats true ewan but only the shat could be so cheesy but think he was so serious. i'll keep a look out for any patrick stewart albums for next st george's day.

ITT

25/4/2012 08:40:52 pm

It looks like we missed a great night for Silver Cloud, judging by the photos. Everyone seems to be having a crackin' time.
Good work by Neil for bringing out the nerd in us all on his new page. It must be the first time i've seen Lee Van Cleef in a non-Western role!
Keep On Chumming!!!

NNN

26/4/2012 03:06:55 am

Great pics, love the last one of Nicky & Macca, one for their mantlepiece! Sorry we can't make Newcastle, my boss beat me by 30 secs to taking the 30th as a days hol (ignore the note above where I said 20th, typo!). Keep On Chumming as my hubby is so fond of saying! As for the pics of shaggy in bunches, wrong on so many levels :o)

Prez

26/4/2012 07:57:03 am

Yup the site is teeming with new stuff. There will be even more after we return from our Newcastle Jolly, I'm sure.

Incidentally, as Neil has demonstrated if anyone fancies their own page, just let me know.

Chum, chum, chum....

Neil

26/4/2012 11:04:26 am

Thanks again prez for setting up the page. As you said its hard to break anything. It is pretty easy to use chums and if i can do it anyone can. Roll on Chumcastle.
yaaay chun, chum, chum, etc.....

Prez

26/4/2012 01:24:09 pm

No problem. I see Yoda has appeared on it.

Clever, you are Neil.

Ewan

29/4/2012 12:29:46 am

Chum Chum Chum Newcastle here we come

Prez

30/4/2012 05:32:46 am

Newcastle was a grand day out. Lots of crackin' craic and excellent, and very very strong ales (41% AVB). No that is NOT a typo, we didn't forget the decimal point.

We only lost two - M.I.A., and Jovi only dfisgraced himself a little bit.

I have some excellent piccys as I know do others. I will start putting them up as and when I get them and find the time.

Bonk-on boys!

:)

Neil

30/4/2012 06:05:07 am

Twas a good day if not a bit soggy. At least everyone was still talking to each other by the end. Next time could we have some sunshine Prez? Thanks to Ewan for keeping everyone awake on the way home. Bonk-on chum, chum, chumcastle.

Prez

30/4/2012 06:21:10 am

Ironically the only picture I have of anyone with theire eyes closed is.....Ewan.

NNN

30/4/2012 07:48:36 am

Makka mentioned the bottle you were going to share the cost of, was it as good as the price suggested? Hope your heads were not too sore....

Prez

30/4/2012 04:54:43 pm

NNN I didn't club in for any of it, I just had a small sip of a few (each sip was probably worth a pound. It was honestly like nothing I've ever tasted before.

Odd experience indeed.

Neil

30/4/2012 08:04:51 am

I managed to avoid the whole "brew dog" episode. All I know is it didn't do his bowels any favours. Thought something had crawled in there and died!

Neil

30/4/2012 02:55:43 pm

Shaggy. Excellent work on the morphing pictures mate. I wonder if you can use it to exaggerate size. If so could I borrow the software?

Prez

30/4/2012 03:07:13 pm

Using some really scary software I can tell there are four Chums on line (Neil, Den and Shaggy are three:))

ITT

30/4/2012 03:55:51 pm

That's some scary software, Prez. Are you working for Rupert Murdoch? And if you say no, how can we believe you?
Keep On Chumming!!!

Love the Newcastle photos, love the morphed shaggy specials. Glad I wasn't at the stinkathon on the train home!

Prez

1/5/2012 03:33:26 am

Even Jonathon was guilty of guffing. If you look at the photos on the train on the way home there's one of Paul shaking his hand. He is 'congratulating' him on the stench he had produced which was so bad everyone else had to move.

NNN

1/5/2012 07:55:05 am

Captive audience indeed, hope the train was empty!

Shaggy

1/5/2012 12:14:31 pm

16,000 hits in one year? This site could find refuge in a Domestic Violence Shelter!!!! Glad everyone enjoyed the Newcastle day trip, sorry I couldn't be there, sodding work eh! Love what you've done with the Klamydia album covers Prez. See those out at Wednesday Club to catch up on the dirt from Sunday :)

Prez

1/5/2012 06:04:05 pm

Aye mate, I'll be out tomorrow. That will be my last chance to Chum it until Monday/Tuesday depending when we get back from the Granite city. I have my Kilt here and it looks braw:)

Prez

1/5/2012 06:27:56 pm

ITT

2/5/2012 05:11:48 am

There's a great hive of activity on the site at the moment & all very entertaining. Keep up the good work, Chums!
Newcastle sounds & looks like it was a beer feast & methane fest! Thankfully Prez has'nt acquired a 'Smell-O-Vision' software yet!
Keep On Chumming!!!

Shaggy

2/5/2012 06:45:54 am

That's not new software that the Prez has got, 'tis just the Force is strong in this one! What are the initials for your workplace again Prez, oh yeah! that was it! GCHQ!!!!!!!! Anyone who can make Jovi baulk with a guff has just earned my undying respect. Think you may need to see a Doctor about that one Jonathan! Gonna echo ITT & say 'keep on chumming'.

ITT

2/5/2012 07:07:11 am

Or is that 'keep on chuffing'?

Nicky

3/5/2012 06:17:42 am

Welcome home Giz good to see you and great that my Giz perception tracker is in good working order :-)
Klamydia albums are very informative and very clever now I can make sure our collection is up to date.
Morphed photos are soooooo spooky and psychedelic would like to hear hawkwinds master of the universe as background music :-)
Pleased Newcastle was a hoot, great photos how long should we leave it to inform the police that Bobby and Simon are missing persons?

Shaggy

3/5/2012 01:28:08 pm

Don't contact the Cops yet Nicky, I'm still working on the ransom note! Have any Chums out there got som spare Gaffer tape?

ITT

3/5/2012 04:21:28 pm

I've found that cable-ties are better to use for binding as they're easier to apply especially when dealing with two people.
Gaffer tape is still the best for gagging!

Prez

8/5/2012 07:10:29 pm

It appears one of them escaped. I saw Simon in the Napper yesterday.

Cheers for the 'Good Pub' guide to 'Auld Reekie' Mike. We know the sister pub to the Jekyll & Hyde in Nottingham, the Pit & Pendulum. I'm sure this one will be just as entertaining & we shall go to it knowing how they hide the toilets, ha ha! The Brewdog is another cert.

They don't improve your sex life but they do make you look f****ng hard!! ( sorry if you've heard it before ) lol

Prez

8/5/2012 07:06:56 pm

Can I have a bit of help please? I am struggling to remember other albums, EPs and singles produced by Klahmydia. As we all know their titles were suggestive, offensive and usually had double and even triple meanings, so If you can send me any you think of and a brief description - line up, genre, interesting facts etc i'll try to find a copy of the cover and upload it.

Thanks.
