babychunder Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Ah the memories here. My first pub pint was in the Vic in 1970s when I was 14. I also remember the High Level and the dingy one just round the corner, Lamplight was it? The Grampian on Sunday afternoons. Robert Halpern made this daft burd crunch away on an onion thinking it was an apple. Ali Rennie pishin' himself laughin at some hypnotised guy gettin up to dance the CanCan hours after the show ended. Jane's ugly dug. Tellin people ye didnae like to meet ye at the Friarton Inn. Sex with some ginger haired Stanley lassie in the toilet at the Silver Broom. The log bar in the Yorkie, and a mass brawl with the Craigie boys. The Half a Tanner when it was the steeple. Fighting half the Inchhead fitba team in the Sally after we won the Norrie Miller Cup. The best of all - "CogieOke" at the Market bar with all the minkers dressed up to the nines "once ah wis afraiddddd - ah wis petri fy i i d"....brilliant days.

sausageman Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 I started drinking in 1980 first in the The Vic after BB football, then the City sport club before the BB football. My first local was the Plough Inn. When it used to close at 2.30 on a Sun we would head down to the Waverly, to get a slagging fae Frankie Cadger for asking for crisps. Then upto Grampian for the strippers. The Grampian got stopped for a bit after a big battle one afternoon with some Dundee halfwits. The IN pubs in those days were CLACHAN RING O BELLS and the WINDSOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IN pubs in those days were CLACHAN RING O BELLS and the WINDSOR Plough was my local n'aw. Got caught by one o the Baxters trying to steal the piano from the ground floor, we had it halfway doon the lane towards Rannoch Rd before he sussed it. I didnae like the Clachan, too many minks for my liking, although the Windsor was always hoachin. You could always hide in the back bar if there wis some lassie ye didnae want tae see.

sausageman Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Would that be Dave Baxter? His twin Dale drank there to. That would be when Irene had it or maybe even Jack Blair. There was a right good crowd in there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingaporeSaint Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I started drinking in 1980 first in the The Vic Seems like The Vic was the first place for drinking for a lot of us. We used to drink in the back bar and have "Gibby" as our barman. I'm surprised the copy of 'The House of the Rising Sun" in the Jukebox never wore out. Plenty forum members on here were part of that crowd. Those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john.w Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Kirkside had its fair share of junior drinkers in my youth. Was sitting in there one Saturday night before the dancing when big Simon the bobby walked in and went through to the wee lounge at the back by the time he came back through maybe five minutes there was a lot of empty chairs and unfinished drinks. I was legal by then but sure made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychunder Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Had my first pint in the Vic after the fitba trainin on a wet Tues night in 1975. Can't remember what it was, Tartan Special maybe? Or was it a Dryburghs' House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a vast improvement You should have tried the Happyhillocks in Mid Craigie in the 70s then, or the Whitfield bar, would make your hair stand on end.

mapleleaf Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Sounds suspiciously like weird sex to me. It's probably very Northern. Smudge ('yer still a cheap b******!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
