Good find Zed. Abbey Wood should start a band and "adopt" this place. Ought to be good for sponsorship, discounts, freebies etc.........

I think Paul must have wrote that blurb to up his street cred.... | ||||
| ZedHorn |
didn't look like the kind of establishment that would be up for parting with cash or free beers but hey... I'll give it a go! Have found out where it in now.. let's see if the Heron crew are up for a trip to Brizzle....

Not just the Canadians Zed - me too !!

If The Volunteer is the same one I knew - it's down by the Docks - not far from the Bristol Old Vic...Pubs have the names changed so much now - I'm not sure.. |
||||
| ZedHorn |
that's the one!!! opposite a nice italian restaurant that I remember going into last night.. I do not however remember leaving!! |
||||
| ZedHorn |
my point seigers is that "one" could really ditch the 6th and 7th words of that quote... no-one else compares... apart form the massed vollies obviously!! but you know, perfection is the enemy of good... |
||||
| Dan A |
ah Zed I agree...about perfection...however, during my time in the Corps..i do not think perfection was ever achieved...but we always strove for it. Working hard for perfection keeps one focussed.....where an attainment of perfection ..unless that state can be maintained leads to complacency...which is a swift transition to mediocrity....so strive in all your musical endeavours..perfection will be close....but.. not quite within reach.... | ||||
| Siegfried |
Well said - and painfully true Dan... 
|
||||
| ZedHorn |
profoundness 'perfectly' personified... | ||||
| Siegfried |
...precisely presented... | ||||
| ZedHorn |
predictably politely put.. | ||||
| Siegfried |
Perchance poutingly posed... | ||||
| RAB |
pi$$ poor para pulling procedure...
methinks someone's taking the p's here... 
|
||||
| ZedHorn |
oh Rab you do make you laugh!! pongo promptly put in place!!! |
||||
| Hornblower |
Positively predictable prattling (IMHO)
|
||||
| Siegfried |
Promoting pretentious personal positioning,produces painful parts.. | ||||
| RAB |
...particularly proffered per posts perpetually promotional...
..Perhaps para pongo people prefer pi$$-partaking peripatetically..???
|
||||
| Siegfried |
hahahaha - Rab - ran out of 'P's' - and dont want to cheat with a Dictionary...
|
||||
| RAB |
Ditto SF...Got to 'W's.. Didn't want to cause offence, so went straight to.... 
(sorry no puns or offence intended)... |
||||
| Siegfried |
No problem Rab - loved the word banter - should have had Errol in on it - he's quick too..

best place to be.. in the land of Zed!!! I spend a considerable amount of time in my world.. |
||||
| The Donkey |
The land of Zed is a strange and mysterious place where where camels contain Pimms and people enjoy the horn. | ||||
| bootybandy |
Woof..... | ||||
| ZedHorn |

||||
| The Donkey |

| admin |
