I would give him a hug and give thanks. cheers, Pete in Sydney, Australia.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080042374351882023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-2354093320933511512015-06-16T00:20:52.283+02:002015-06-16T00:20:52.283+02:00I remember earlier than 1979 when my mother played...I remember earlier than 1979 when my mother played darts for the John Bull's Ladies team, the landlord was Awin Glover. Sheila Waites also played for the ladies darts team her parents had the pub for a long time before retiring, I played darts for the men's team when I was 16 under a false nameAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464783180124713856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-63687090319345557032011-02-26T09:43:13.868+01:002011-02-26T09:43:13.868+01:00I remember him telling us about that.

Used to cause lovely traffic chaos in Dean's Close when we moved the wagon from the CMS to the east end every day :-)<br />Like you saw a few faces which looked familiar but couldn't name.Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-3062807675852221602011-02-25T19:02:42.330+01:002011-02-25T19:02:42.330+01:00Lovely to see you two too!

He always enjoyed theatre and actually put up a couple of actors on tour, upstairs at the John Bull, like a theatrical landlady. The live music was good most of the time, except for the Sunday sessions when all the fiddle players in the region congregated to play the one Irish tune that they all knew, at the pace of the lowest common denominator. The video has pictures of the Morris team, many of whom were colleagues / pals of mine. And Dave Gamston appears, talking about the architecture. I recognise a few faces, but can't put names to them.Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-8112652354132915492011-02-25T09:08:03.108+01:002011-02-25T09:08:03.108+01:00It certainly beats the "Old Tom Cobbly" ...It certainly beats the "Old Tom Cobbly" style of imitation old-world pubs, serving soggy cabbage and tasteless carrots with their two-for-one dinners.

Ah memories!! You&...It was very good to see you:-) <br />Ah memories!! You're so right about those sandwiches--I'd forgotten how much it literally hurt your jaw to get a bite. We also have great, if blurred memories of a Christmas lock in. Neville did us a brilliant medieval subtlety when we (Lords of Misrule) did a Medieval Christmas piece for YTV's Calendar programme. Niall did a gig in the JB garden [in 87] with 2 friends Mike Burns & Jimmy Richards. They were called 'Worrying Symptoms'... <br /><br />AntoinetteNiall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.com
