Show us Your Local, eh?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Must have been an expensive ONS, then :eek:

There again, we all pay for it in one way-or-another, don't we...? :wink:

I also used to frequent this place

VERY local.
Usually strangers left through the window having been launched through it by the locals.
I used to captain their darts team too.
They used to have a cold Newky Brown on the bar for me before I even reached it.

Gotta love locals like that. :notworthy:

Remember getting up to leave at one point in mine, and by the time I'd turned around the barman had a fresh pint out for me (after closing time and all! :D )

@Derek - is that the cake I think it is? :notworthy:

Closest match I could find on google images. It would appear to be sans lemon curd though :cry:

Should have seen us two scoffing what was left of the original on the train home next day, crumbs ahoy! :lol:

I don't have any photos of the place but it does have its own website, which is dreadful and doesn't even begin to do the place justice.

I've passed by it many times, but have been informed that it looks much nicer on the outside! Possibly due to it being just across from that ned magnet Fountain Park or whatever it's called :lol:

If I have to vote for a 'fave' ... I'll take a pint of Green Madness here:~

The absinth bar is nice too, mostly because of the outstanding drinks and nice architecture.

No :urff: and :urff: included at all, and though the Absinthe's not served at Molly's, it has already gained somewhat of a reputation with HLers from across Europe ;D (more specifically Glasgow)

Hong Kong, worked here-run by bastards-populated by bastards. But introduced me to many things most would consider illegal :innocent:

This one I loved, apart fae the sport! Getting off my face behind the bar at raves, getting to the other side of it in altered states and heckling Gene

Oz yuppie bar did my best manager shake and fake there, met Olivia Newton Bomb and various Oz actors-plus lots of getting off my face-can you see a theme running here? :P

Coming soon (to a receptacle near you) The Weegie Years....
