Yes it was lots of fun. Got some wicked honey and posed with birds of prey. Brilliant!

kford, i agree, drunk people are the worst by far.

I too was on the bars at the weekend, great fun! A few OAPS were trying the machines which was nice to see.

How exciting, will have to go check out and have a go, fantastic idea!

Hee Hee, 'hideously short skirts, pitbulls etc', won't be trying Adventure bar then, the name had already put me off but that seals the deal, lol.

Does the gym have a decent free weights section?

I caught an ear infection twice from there and haven't been back since :(

whoops!

Has anybody been to the Duke yet? The pub which was Page 2, then became the Village Inn and has now changed hands again... http://www.thedukese15.co.uk/

thanks louisiana, i still live in the optimism that its an 'if' rather than a definite 'when'. No offence meant in describing levels of mugging, i just link it in as the same thing purely because i'm being asked in an itimidating manner to do something that i don't want to do, even though no actual robbery is taking place.

Where do you draw the line about what constitutes being mugged? Is there a difference between someone asking you for 50p and a cigarette or for your phone/wallet? Luckily i've never been asked for the latter but am repeatedly asked on a daily basis for the former and i always say no, can't stand the thought of being intimidated into doing something. Can't honestly say it would be the same if it was someone asking for my wallet, guess it depends on how you assess the situation at the time and at how much of a risk you perceive there to be, although this is arguably becoming increasingly difficult to assess.
