A tough year!

 

Xmas 2011

It’s the 28th Tube Crawl since our inaugural attempt on June 4th 1986.  Kicking off about noon on Thursday 29th December at Times Square.  See y’all!!

The Route

Route change via Belly Busters

This years #09 Shields Road route change to ‘The Old Toll Bar’ was a marvellous plan.  Not only was the bar a very pleasant Olde World Inn hostelry, it turns out that the aromatic route proved irresistable.

Looks like the walk is destined to be punctuated by a life saving gut busting curry hoose calorific top up.

Never heard Homer of the north ever say ‘eatin’s'cheatin!’

Yum-yum

….. Kabana time

Captain gets his gal

From the tubey historical archives ………

The captain’s romantic powers are well hidden, but after completing another successful mighty tubey back in the early 90′s he became George Clooney on heat and going for it, big time.

The lucky lass was swept willingly off her feet and cupids mighty arrow hit the bullseye.

Must confess post-tubey public snoggings are fairly rare these days even amongst the lads.  So keep yer wit’s oan yae or it’ll be wedding bells, wains and eternal happiness, all included in the price of (life discovery ticket) courtesy of SPT and Scottish ‘heavy’ bevy.

Always great to regale the details of events leading up to that romantic public snog and life-time of happiness.

For the rest us, as Gerry says, no tongues please.

Honours III RIP

Our undercover reconnaissance officer the Jegster has noticed aghast that the Honours III is closed and has opened as a swish (for the sou’side) Italian style eatery called Mimmo’s.

My call (the winner) is to do ‘The Old Toll Bar on Paisley Road which says the immortal words “all day food”.  Google Maps says it’s an extra 200m tramp beyond the previous distance to the H3 (700m each way, but it’s early in the day!).

A new contender en-route is ‘The Stanley Bar’

In the interests of democracy here’s a poll……

Promotional materials, handouts, maps and powerpoints to be updated after poll closure. Poll result in favour of OLD TOLL BAR

For those of you who wish to delve deeper into the rich historical tapestry of Glasgow’s history, here is a link unravelling the mysteries of the pub closure.

Love on the tube

The tube-crawl is a well-known matchmatcher as our ready to tie-the-knot regular tube-couple can testify.

Most tubers like to recharge there emotional batteries with a day apart from the loved one, returning to appreciate the specialness of the chosen one, however, some just can’t bear to be apart, that’s when they’re called girlfriends, ahhhhh.

Best wishes for the future but just remember, to plan the conception calender, don’t want any new birthdays putting a spoke in the tube-wheels!

Burds eh

We even have our very own intrepid roving lass-on-the-lash, who diligently reviewed all facilities including the mandatory GHD check-box.  Suffice to say some of our longstanding Sou’side hostelries are not for budging on this one.

as the title implies, cannae live wae oot them and it’s murder poolis wae them, just don’t fall into the trap of trying to make them happy or yer doomed…. quote by Aristotie McBride (7-star tubey general)

Can someone send her an invite

Not a bruise, must have been catwoman on the sauce, whereas we hunt/stagger/sway in packs !

My mum always said smoking was dangerous.
