Bip 88 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Now’t wrong with a good nit pick Stu, I do it all the time. I concur with your sentiments Stu it is a little high especially when like me you’re only four feet ten. It’s better seen if one stand on the top most of the water feature, but be careful you don’t want to do what I did sat night. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Okay...I have to ask, what did you do at the water feature last Saturday night? Can you get arrested for it? The rink sure has its compensations though - namely that German beer stand next to the rink! I'm not sure how it would go down with the HP swilling lads on here but that Paulaneer stuff they were selling was outstanding. The wheat beer was good too. Three quid a pint but it fair set my ships sailing! !jumping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Never saw the beer stand Stu, I’m surprised I didn’t smell it and yes I would have been arrest if I had been seen, I reckon it would have been worth the collar. But saying that I didn’t see any police about until I walked back through later, but did see the chocolate dip thingy and sausage stall, which has given me an idea. Bip.

The mind boggles at your idea! The beer stand is at the bottom right of the webcam here, next to the Christmas tree: Nottingham on Ice! Whilst I was there a couple came up to buy pints. When the barman asked for six quid for each drink (it's £3 deposit for each vessel) the woman almost dropped the pint! She couldn't seem to get her head around the fact that she'd have £3 returned to her and so instead slid the pints right back! I love people watching. :-) PS all this talk is making me thirsty.

Beefsteak 305 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 What was that white beer I used to sell in the Tivoli called?????? I used to pour two or three pints away each night from d*ck heads who (even though they were told when ordering) insisted on sending it back because "It's cloudy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bip 88 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I walked through the market square last Saturday evening and thought what the Bl00dy hek is this? ‘Something else spoiling the vista of the council house’! It was to big for a Ferrite wheel, I did think at the time it might be one of those rides that swings back and forth but when I saw the picture of it on the Midlands evening news all was explained. Just a thought…. wonder what damage this monster is coursing to the foundations of the new market square, if it does damage the granite blocks who will pay? Bip.
