The Rest is Noise pub to close

Yeah, I could do that.

If only there was some other way to post it, without setting up my own website. Hmmmm.

By the way, by incorrectly banging on about it being homophobic abuse, you just look like someone wringing their hands at a dinner party, worrying about 'the kids of today' and what they get up to these days.

It is quite amusing though.
it's not incorrect. your graff is blatantly homophobic

Indirectly, anyway - it's assuming negative meanings from being gay (effeminate, ineffectual, wimpy) and using them to abuse another target. The graffiti isn't calling the patrons of TRIN gay, it's calling them those negative things that a homphobe might associate with being gay.
 
I went down the Grand Union on Acre lane tonight....cunt city....don't ever go.

It's never struck me as an attractive looking option I have to say.

The Albert and the Dogstar were both rammed tonight.

Only ever good on a nice warm weekday when you can sit out the back without too many bods around. Evenings and weekends it's either dull as dirt or, as said above, fit only for nob-ends. God, don't get me started on the staff they have (had? not been for loooong time)..

Oh PLEASE don't sit out the back - in summer evenings, the lives of garden-side residents of Sandhurst Court are made hideous by the noise! It's appalling - I've come in the back way to put the car away and been nearly knocked over by the noise; no more sitting in the back garden on a summer's evening for residents! I'm just glad we live on the traffic side, it's quieter!
 
Eh? I believe I said "Evenings and weekends it's either dull as dirt or, as said above, fit only for nob-ends." Anyway, what do people expect when they move in in the back of a big fuck off pub?
 
I went to grand union for Sunday roast earlier this year. Good food, friendly staff. Only downside was no puddings

I went on Sunday, it was lovely. We even took a pushchair in :eek:

Sat in the window so I could watch the comings and goings out of the squatted pub opposite (Duke of Somethingorother) - seemed to be a banging-rave-party-thon going on at 2pm.

Food was great as well.

I went to a handful of parties there a couple of years ago actually. Didn't realise they were still getting away with it.
 
Saw some quite nasty goings on at that pub when living nearby, before it got shut down. I seem to recall my (then) landlord having to deal with a stab victim from there (he posts on here so will probably clarify.
 
Went down Strathleven Road yesterday on my way to Acre Lane. Not been down there road for years and years. When did all those new flats appear?
 
Which ones? Do you mean Branksom Rd perhaps? There's a smallish new development just as you swing onto AL that were built over the course of last year mainly.

No, Strathleven. By new, they could be 10 years old for all I know as it's years since I went down there. They're light-coloured bricks (yellow stocks) and have steps with canopies over the stairways.

Which end? I live right next to Strathleven and cannot for the life of me work out where you are talking about.

They may even be decades old!

Lambert Road end. If you're coming from Lambert Road going towards Acre Lane, they're on the right-hand side
 
Ah, the one's right opposite Mandrell Rd. Okay I gotcha. That said I haven't got a clue when they were built. Looks younger than two decades... it's got some of that late 90s vibe over it (looking at it on Google Streetview now.. at work!). Sorry, not much help am I.

Yeah, I'm positive they're not decades old as I used to go to Glenelg Road regularly a couple of decades ago so was sure I'd remember them, but I doubt I've been down Strathleven for at least 10 years
 
I realise I'm a bit late in saying this but to RaverDrew - Do you think it's ok to be prejudiced towards a group of people because of their social class and the way that they choose to dress? You may think your beloved Goose pub was inclusive but how would you have reacted if a bunch of people wearing skinny jeans and sporting 'daft' haircuts had walked in. Would you have written them off as ‘artfags’? Personally I only have problems with a person if they are arrogant or abusive rather than having a problem with them because of how they dress or what subculture they supposedly fit into and right now I have a problem with your comments.
