We have but honestly it's a fookin mare trying to get served even when it's quite then if you order via the app your sat there for ever waiting. I always make a B line for a spoons when out of town but ours is fookin sh*te.

Weatherspoons still the best value if you got one near, sadly we haven't got one for miles

I walked out of a pub the other week after finding they were trying to charge 8 quid for a pint. I then got told they were charging 5 quid for a half pint glass of rola cola.

I have no issues with the Trans community, if Gern wishes to dress like that and visit Crommy Lodges on a Sunday then that is his business. HOWEVER, I am glad that the ruling has been made as it draws a line under it all and I can once more hit Plenty of Fish without fear of being called a transphobe for saying no thanks to Buz.

The court case was/is against the EBPF who are a different organisation - An amateur organisation staffed by volunteers which makes it worse. So this announcement was made by UP/Ultimate Pool who have basically let the small amateur org take the risk all on their own - Which was/is fucking shameful. UP actually DID have this exact policy and announced it 2-3 years ago and Harriet contacted them right away and threatened to sue and they immediately capitulated and changed their policy to allow Her/him to play in the ladies events. Now that UP have seen the court ruling the other week that stated....well we know what it stated - a man has a cock and a woman tends not to have....NOW all of a sudden UP have grown a pair and decided that only bio women can play in the woman events. They are cowards for allowing it in the 1st place imho. Harriet's case against the EBPF - judgement won't be handed down until June/July time. Her costs are being paid for by A N Other (Some trans rights group who's name escapes me)- The EBPF costs have been crowd funded. I know a wee bit about this because as stated Harriet plays in our league and I play a wee bit of pool around this county. (Can't see the end of the snooker table any more due to deteriorating eyesight - age and glaucoma lol)

Good, i hope he has to pay both sets of legal costs.

That's that sorted https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg7pqzk47zo

This nonsense really needs to stop. They're men and should compete against other men, stay out of women-only places, and accept that they have rights like everyone else but need to adapt, rather than expect the rest of the world to adapt to them. Too many wierdos and sex offenders have jumped on this trans bandwagon, making it impossible for anything but a black and white ruling in the eyes of the law. I caught a bit of the news yesterday and one of them was claiming they make up 1% of the population. That's a big number and if it's true, then they should start organising their own leagues and competitions rather than trying to gain the advantage over others.

Read a post from Harriet today. Trans rights are still protected characteristic due to atricle.....I forget the number. But the upshot is for Pool in particular we still need to await the outcome of the hearing which was 5 days long at Canterbury court. Judgement expected in June/July. She was/is suing for discrimination....

The supreme court have today clarified matters... but I suspect this wont be the end of it 🤬

It's just getting beyond the joke now. Me and the missus did a bog standard last curry other week nothing to right home about few sides, 2 wines 2 beers fookin 80 quid'ish !, I nearly shit me keks when the bill came and I'm not been funny but I could have made better myself at home. Missus keeps saying we don't do enough together and that's exactly why, we can't afford to. Everything we try to do cost bucket loads unless you spot 2 for 1 deals. Socialising is a thing of the past

Local pub near me I ordered a large glass of red wine for the missus and it was £13.00, I could have bought 2 bottles of it in the local Co-op for that.

Firstly I'm no tight coont when it comes to going out but yesterday, after the football me and a few m8's went for a few. Now I try to stick to one or two of the same drinks kinda helps with the bad head. First pub £5:50 San Miguel Second pub £4:50 3rd pub (get this) £7:50 Now I'm no tight arse but that is taking the urine. Then theres a pub small run down job selling it for £3:95 so from the dearest that's a £3:55 difference Put that on a round of 4 I paid £14:20 more than another guy. I went Liverpool few months back me and 2 m8's and I paid £27 for 3 Peroni draught and it was dog piss shit. It's getting to the point were an Uber nasty kebab and a few pints is £70 I did £70 last night so imagine you did that twice a week. Then I look back to when I was a young lad out 4-5 nights a week today's prices against wages you'd be living in a cardboard box eating out of food banks. No wonder pubs are closing left right and centre. My local which was always full 4 nights a week sadly closed and is been turned into a convenance store although there's a mini spar mini Tesco and 3 corner shops all within 800 yards of each other. But my rant is why such huge mark ups ?. My m8's son came along for an hour but he only drinks water. We ordered a tap water they tried to charge £1 for a glass till we argued. Sad times

I simply cannot play along with this fiasco... It's not a paintbrush, it's a fucking spade 😡

I suspect there is good reason my misses nearly always buys my stuff which usually turns out to be that wrinkle free/non-iron stuff lol. She thinks I don't notice....im sure it's so she can watch those moronic Australian soaps ffs.

Totally agree with you Diddy, the physical advantages are there regardless. Be getting trans men competing against biological men in the world ironing championship next ffs

Im not so much old school, live and let live is my motto. Do no harm and all that. Treat others as you wish to be treated ect ect. My thoughts on bio men in women's sport are I don't think it's fair in any way. That's it. Even in cue sports - There is a difference, even though there is no strength involved....the data fucking shows that men are better than women - if you just look at the data alone it can't be argued. What people choose to do to their bodies and how they choose to live their life has nothing to do with me. Harriet has went the whole 9 yards - she has "fully" transitioned. It's clearly bigger than a game of pool for "her". But she should accept that regardless of her feelings she was born a man and went through part puberty, she has attributes and hormones that other women don't. She is free to play in the "open" category. Also has been assured that ANYONE making her feel uncomfortable by their words or actions will be removed from the tour and banned...So there is zero reason she should not accompany the few women who DO choose to play in the open tour...rather than the women's tour.

I'm old school like plenty others, you cannot change your sex because you want to do. Your body genetically is either male or female. There was a case were a woman recently walked off from the world frizby throwing women's final because a trans was allowed to compete in the women's section. She will have a huge advantage due to having a stronger arm through all the w@nking

Yeah the match was played up the road from you. BUT I actually KNOW Harriet. A nice person, Completely disagree that they should be allowed in women's competition though. Her court case against one of the other pool org's started yesterday in my local court too. Ultimate pool could and should have stuck to their own original decision which was you play either in the open category OR if you were born a woman then you could play in the women's circuit. Harriet is a decent person to speak to. She is pretty good at pool too....although being that I have played cue sports all my life I have to say I have seen much better and personally wouldn't be unhappy to be drawn against her in a pool comp. But she is using this for money in my opinion as she basically asking this lot for £100k to make it all go away. (Think it's the English BlackBall Pool association) which is essentially an armature circuit which kind of makes it worse in my opinion

Up the road from me, self explanatory:-

There are, they are usually stood there watching you. Oh you mean plastic ones? lolz

I am not being racist but....

They are there. You need to do the walk of shame because you haven't brought any of your own. I went to this store a few weeks ago. Looks like they're setting their stall out for home deliveries.
