Limey 242 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Why, yes it were - they nearly threw Den, me and Stu out - even then me and Den stood on the pavement and chin-wagged for about 15 minutes! I suppose Brian missed his train - pity, it would have been interesting to see his face! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sorry didn't get to meet you Red. It did take a bit of sleuthing to find us though I guess. A mate of mine came in to join us, couldn't find us and had to text from the other side of the pub! Just wanted to say thanks to all for a really good night, I really enjoyed coming along to meet you all. Wishing you, Eric, an enjoyable stay for the rest of your short time here. Absolute pleasure to meet you. Cheers, all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian36 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks for the many anxious posts but spent Friday evening in the QMC accident and emergency department with a broken ankle. Slipped off from the bottom two runs of the railway bridge at Beeston station. Had been in the New Venture club warming up for a good drinking session and looking forward to meeting you all when I slipped and fell, some cuts to face and hands and apart from broken ankle I’m feeling just great….cheers Once again thanks for your concerns especially those from Limey, your comment was most warming, hoping to meet you all at the next meet especially you Limey. 36.

mick2me 3,033 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sorry to hear about your accident Brian You missed a good night. If I was you I would be straight back to my Solicitor. I get mine provided by the Union, and she is brill! She's already dealing with one case for me. You could try them at Injurlawyers4U or whatever?

Ashley 288 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Wouldn't tell them you'd been in New Venture Club, not if I were you, (reminds me of "undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it sir" (Battle of Britain film) lol Intended to come friday but wife not keen, sorry, By the way not doing a Stan here but saw Tv show re Detroit last week, is it really that bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 ...saw Tv show re Detroit last week, is it really that bad? In a word - YES! Ever since the riots in the late 60's, Detroit has steadily gone down hill - and the 'burbs have swelled beyond recognition. Although I always say Detroit as a point of reference, I actually live about 35 miles north west - just north of Ann Arbor. The city of Detroit is prtty crap - they keep trying to improve it, and two new stadiums (Tgers and Lions) have helped, but if you venture beyond a very small downtown area, it gets bad in a hurry. Not a particularly "tourist friendly" destination! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I saw a bit on "Top Gear" where Clarkson was in Detroit ("Home of the motor industry" as he put it) and whilst they were filming it they had a constant police escort !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 just read my post,sounds awful! "wife not keen" nothing to do with venue or company, just didn't want to go out in the finish, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 860 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Slipped off from the bottom two runs of the railway bridge at Beeston station. I shall look forward to seeing it on the next addition of 'Police, Camera, Action'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
