I played pool in a dirty, horible, rat-infested hole....

...of a pub tonight and in the corner they had a Red Gaming Aftershock!!! :shock:

I thought it'd pay for my night and then some, but alas, £3 for a board, lower than an 11 and the number reel didn't even spin and I died. Erm....I'll pass thanks.

Drank Coke for the rest of the night while the skanks drank cans of Carling and smoked indoors, then I went in-off the black. Nice.

I used to have to play in some dodgy dives on my travels but this place was just vile.

Aftershock - released in 2000, makes me feel old.

Just thought I'd share that nugget of info lol. :D

Yeah I've played in some right shitholes when playing darts.

One pub openly admitted they had no draft lager and were selling cans instead, as compensation they would let u smoke inside!!! Another pub has also allowed smoking.

I still have a Vivid Quick On The Draw in my area, which I've been playing almost every week for 10 years!

I played a C4 in a pub, the landlord was smoking behind the bar and there was people sitting at the bar drinking cans of special brew. And this pub was in a town center. The pub has now shut down again.

I know of several pubs that smoke during opening hours, anyone know what sort of punishment you would get for this? (not that i'm a grass) + Usually at 11.30 the curtains shut and the ash trays come out, i don't know how i ever managed to stay in smokey boozers years ago, now i can't be in the same room!

True, for all you oldies, Roy Castle, who presented Record Breakers, was a trumpeter, got cancer from passive smoke in those old smoky jazz clubs. I've worked in bars, and you used to come home and absolutely stink of tobacco smoke.

I used to have a chipped Cluedo in a similar style place. Did it twice then never came back....Staff polite and never said a word about winning....but the dang place had a score of fleas! I walked out itching like a harpee :(
