Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I once walked into a fish and chip shop, Somerstown, Portsmouth, seventies. Just in time to hear the bloke behind the counter telling the woman he was serving: " Thank you, my love. That's two fifty four skin. " As if it were the most natural thing in the whole world. No wonder I'm fukking damaged!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Know what I mean? No ...... no one knows what you mean most of the time. No one is being harsh just being straight. If you walked into a pub and said you were horny so had a shit, and dropped your phone in the toilet and shit on it and scraped it off with your hands ....... and by the way did i mention that I used to shit when I came ........ Just as many folk would think you were a crazy drunk person, and some would think you were harmless and smile and nod. Just like a pub. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldPhil 5,932 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Talking of Pubs I've had some great sessions, in the Old Style Pompey Pubs,...some of these ancient buildings were architectural monuments and having survived the bombs, destined for the nearby Dockyard,. they evoked a kinda unique atmosphere, one that was conducive, to getting rat-arse pissed with a collection of truly crazy , like-minded souls... Halcyon Days,... Stay safe Brothers,...regards, OldPhil. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,463 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 @OldPhil There's a property, down on The Hard ~ was still there last I knew. Ten, fifteen years ago? Next to a pub. North side, it'd be. During WW2, my Great Aunt was walking past there and a couple she knew said, " Hey, Becky! We're just off to the (pub) with this young girl. (She was the daughter of one of them) Care to join us? " My GA said she had an errand to run, else she would. Moments later, the place they lived took a direct hit, as they were preparing to go next door to the pub. Last I knew, the spot is still flat. I was thinking, only the other night; How can I approach that worthless shit hole of a council, to allow me to have a plaque put on the wall that overlooks the spot they died. Just looking forward to a pint and a chat in their local. But for a 'Just gotta do this!', I'd never have known one of the most legendary women in my life. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
