THREAD JACK
Bristol Nutters, best in the world. Just got back in from showing my canadian friend the best pub in bristol the Cadbury. A utopia where long haired bohemian types congregate and smoke weed in the garden. No sooner had we sat down than over comes pissed hippy sits next to us and proceeds to pull out a clarinet and then entertain us with train and geese noises. Then wanted to swap pills for weed before spilling a 2 litre bottle of ginger beer over himself. Brilliant. What nutters have you come across?

I once played cricket in the nets at the Cadbury
Nothing strange there, only the crusty I was playing again insisted his traffic cone was a much better bat than the cricket bat that was already there.

(Do they still have cricket nets in the garden?)

The Cadbury, I've not been there in ages, they used to have a great jukebox and original Space Invaders 'back in the day'.

Still a juke box, no arcade or nets
just sofas outside and pool table. And now a fire pit. Awesome.

The cricket nets were great back in the day.
Do they still do a fantastic sunday lunch?

It's more burger and chips these days, I haven't eaten there for a while.

They used to have a Reggae Roast on a sunday.
It was a bit of a summer tradition.

The Star and Garter used to be a nice pub.
DJ Derek was always a highlight - any idea where he plays these days? (Assuming he is still alive).

Yeah he plays in that shit little club on gloucester road next to mi amici pizza.
Star and Garter is just all drugs now.

How old do you think Derek is now?

Couple of weeks ago in Bradford interchange, an otherwise sane-looking fellow started making conversation at the urinal(!)
As I didn't want to be rude, and it would have been far more awkward to ignore him, the conversation went something like this:

"A lot of people don't like me."
"Why's that?"
"It's because I'm black."
"That's not right."
"Do you know where cowboys live?"
"Eh?"
"Do you know where cowboys live?"
"...America?"
"What bit of America."
"The wild West?"
"Yeah, Texas."

At this point I made an excuse and swiftly left (a genuine one, mind - I was in danger of missing my bus.) A few minutes later I saw he was trying his luck with someone waiting on one of the other stands.
