Next to the hostel? Love helping young Swedish birds up the Kensal Green steps with their heavy bags

It isn't a bad pub, they have a big function room up stairs which they have a lot of games on too. I don't go too often so don't really know the crowd but had some pr 1ck with a chip on his shoulder try it on last time I was there.

Did you hear about the Prince of Wales on Harrow Rd down the Westbourne Pk end? Lad passed out completely smashed after closing time and woke to find the landlord buggering him!

Thanks

The island don't look a bad pub

It is quite nice because college road runs parallel to Chamberlayne rd but is a T junction at the top which is residential so doesn’t really get much traffic but has a really nice local feel to it, almost like a little secret neighbourhood within the neighbourhood. They always have a great party during carnival which is perfect for me, just on the edge as I cannot be doing with the crowds these days.

There is a pub near Smithfield’s meat market I met a mate after work for a drink which is quite a regular for the city boys. It is run by a pair of dykes and they come around with a pair of scissors and cut their customers ties off and have them hanging from the ceiling behind the bar like they’re some sort of trophy. Most of the drinkers in there are on silly money so don’t care but one of those butch feckers crept up behind me with the scissors, luckily I got away, feck off you’re running my best silk tie, man hating kents.

I like the Elgin, decent pub.

The whippet inn on chamberlayne road is a mad name for a pub.

Probably what the b uggering landlord thought when he saw that bloke passed out

Used to be called the Greyhound years ago and has a few changes since, wasn't it the Diner last and now has gone full circle with the Whippet?

just got it

Have you tried the junction in park royal ?

Yeah I actually love it! Bit of a working man’s pub, lots of hi-vis jackets but has a great vibe, Aussie run so usually laid back those pubs. Right on the canal too. Next to the McVities factory.

That's the one.

I've had some good nights in there,the Aussies are a good laugh.

I’ve never been in the garden, what’s going on back there? I’ve passed it cycling down the towpath but looks like some beach huts or something and table tennis is it?

The garden is big and there's lots of tables and a few huts down the bottom.

There is a table tennis table.

We had one of the lads dj a function there last summer and it was a top night

The Droog, sorry for the late reply, was back in the UK and internetless.

I was a WAFU so 99% was on the Inv, Lusty and the Death Star (Ark). But did my first trip on Fearless, and last on Fort Vic to GW2.

Really? I was a guest on the Invincible some years ago (it was while the Ark was in for a re-fit so was the flag ship at the time), from Pompey to Liverpool.

Got a really good tour of the place, the goal keeper anti missile guns, down in the engine rooms and up on the bridge for the man over board exercise.

Well lucky you for getting to see what it's really like. I hope you saw the sleeping arrangements, and the fridge . Was the air group on with you? I hope so. On the Invincible and Illustrious I was with the Harriers, Ark it was the new helicopter Merlin.

Yeah the Harriers were there and did a few laps, was incredible.to see from that perspective. Felt like a real privilege actually as a civi. It was 2003 I think I remeber Portsmouth was carnage as they just secured promotion.

At the risk of name dropping I was lucky enough to be a guest of the captain (Soar) as I'm mates with some of the family so we didn't exactly slum it, got to see both sides! We were invited to the girls sleeping quarters one night to socialise, pretty sure they had a wager out on who could bang the captain's son

Name dropping like that is OK, we've had a few guests of honour onboard, in my time. Status Quo would be a memorable one, they film the vid for Jam Side Down on the Ark in 2002, when we came back from a Med trip.

Glad you enjoyed the time and saw the real side of the reason for the carriers, and not some large sunbed for the fishheads (non FAA sailors).

You were lucky to get out of the Wren's quarters alive then . But would have been the same bet if the skipper's daughter was onboard, though I'm sure the skipper would have warned her to be on guard. Any man should with a daughter and sailors around.
