There is a 'Royal Marine Hotel' in Dublin - but I do not know if the Royal Marine bit means a Bootie or maritime.

Where's that to then? I can't quite place it (lived near Yeovil for 20 years but have tried hard to mentally block all non-footie related memories!)

Aaaah I know where it's to now - not too far from the Great Western where my old band used to practice. Lovely area - not!! Knew I'd seen it somewhere. Never been in there though (unsurprisingly)

Now aren't you all happy to know that?!

Thanks for the re-supply of the piccie Rab - I can see it now. (Well - I'd be able to if there wasn't a bloody great blimp parked in front of it!!!)

Thanks for the horn player piccie Bill - I know it's not modelled on me 'cos the brasses are shiny. (Note absence of smiley emoticons)

Greenfairy - thanks for the history of GF lesson!!

That's a lot of thanks!

Thanks for listening.

The 'Globe And Laurel' was located in Trafalgar Road, Newport, Isle Of Wight but was demolished quite a few years back.
