Lazy bastard!), I'm of the Buddies/Atlantic/Jacques era. Loved being bar-staff, no queuing and then in free.<br /> I'm from Blackness way originally, but the Ferry seems to attract a particularly horrendous type of gadgie, one which is very fond of nylon and Pit Bulls. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37179#post-105440 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:47:56 +0000 Hoops McCann 105440@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Are you too young to remember Brook's then a taxi along to The Sands for a night of disco type grooving and yep agree with you about the Ferry's gadge invasion, and I'm a good working class boy fae the schemes myself. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37179#post-105416 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:56:53 +0000 The All New Jeni B 105416@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ah, I worked in the Fish for a few years.

Where's the fun in jumping into freezing water with a bag of stones?
