The Station Bar is a top boozer!
What is it you hate about Manpower so much?
-
There's no refusal going on: all bin pubs will be done in good time. Its going to be a long summer.
If I wanted a pint of warm pish surrounded by wankers then I'd review the nearest Belhaven instead.
Yep, fair enough. Good point!
-
So, mind that time Grangemouth got relegated?
Ray McKinnon really is a little bollocks!

Was in the westburn last night for a few pints. Cracking boozer though I did go out in a blaze of glory knowing I wouldn't be back anytime soon.
What did you do?
Did you draw a ladies part on the wall in the lavatory?
-
Possibly a bit harsh in hindsight, but influenced by alcohol.
Fuck Falkirk though.
Can I just surprise you?
I like Falkirk.

It'll actually just be a Cafe regular with his mother's cataract glasses on.
Ed de Ball is fine. LinwoodTon is fine. Lord Volvic is fine.
Dr Zhivago is fiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnneeeeeeee.

Also, will you be doing the Wanderers’ club house? I can arrange a guided tour if you like?
-
Why is it you refuse to do the Westburn again? It needs done.
An unsung gem of the Greenock pub scene.

The KKK Bin Pub Review #12 - The Station Bar
For this one KKK was forced to head out to the lawless frontier zone between Civilisation and the barbaric hellhole known as Ayrshire. Fortunately there was a bin pub to make the trip worthwhile.
The Station Bar is a fixture of the bin pub scene, serving its core clientele of 'people who got pished and fell asleep on the train, waking up in Wemyss fucking Bay when it stopped'. Also, the native spear-chuckers coming over on the boat from Bute, Greenock's very own summer house.
Good: The Station Bar retains all important character features. Firstly, note the roaring coal fire instead of the shitey and fusty radiators that are used to keep inferior pubs warm in the winter months. It also doesn't have a men's toilet - you're advised to use the ones in the station outside - but when they close this bin pub turns its ladies into a unisex effort. So it's well ahead of the 'woke' trend on that front. It also serves big boy measures, all the required pints on tap and sports on TV. The punters are most definitely on the staunch side though.
Bad: A wine list that has Pinot Grigio on it instead of El Dorado, food can be ordered from the cafe next door during the day and prices that are steep by bin pub standards.
Verdict: 2Ks/3
The Station Bar could be a failure in the middle of nowhere like The Cloch but it isn't. Period features are a big reason why this remains a viable bin pub. The other one is location. A bin pub inside a train station trumps all other locations in Greenock. It also offers great entertainment whenever some spear-chuckers miss their last boat and have to fend for themselves on the mainland. The Station Bar therefore earns a respectable position on the bin pub leaderboard.
It’s a good Rangers pub.

Awful.
That reminds me of something my PA Lynn, 50, came up with one time...
Oh, rattling roaring Willy, He's off to the BBC! Oh, rattling roaring Willy, He's off to the BBC, Oh, Willy goes there and Willy goes there and there, Willy goes there and Willy goes there and there....
Extraordinary.

Classic Queen!

Ooooh, mince!
Crabsticks do not contain any crab!

They do ladyboys in there!
OHHH LAAAADYBOY
Oh god yeah. Fascinating creatures though. Looks like a lady, but really it’s a man. I don’t find them attractive, it’s just confusing.

Has anyone ever been in The Greenock Wanderers’ clubhouse for a pint of bitter?

Are we meant to play Guess Who with this post?
Peephole Pringle!

Pretty much and on top of this you get the local burds dressing up like Iain Poulter added into the mix.
Come on TonOfMemories.... tell me about the Ladyboys!

Agreed. The last sentence is particularly sickening...He doesn't seem very sorry for doing it and thinks he's owed a second chance.
I'm all for second chances if people have regrets, know what they've done, have learned, etc but he seems a bit brash about the whole thing.
‘It doesn’t worry me, I’ve coped with worse.’

Was in Nicolsons for the first time last week. It's the worst kind of pub.
Haven’t been in yet. Is it that bad? They’ve got a decent beer garden from memory but haven’t been in since it was the A and S.
-
To be clear I'm also not a fan of London, just saying that's the way things are going these days. Teams will be owned by oligarchs and followed by global, largely-interchangable fanbases, with the occasional local still going along.
Catch the train to London! Stopping at... Rejection, Disappointment, Back-stabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway!

I also hate Spurs and how globalization and TV money has allowed them to become decent.
Just a jumped up West Ham. Hope they **** off soon.
Perfectly summed up. Horrible team.

I'm not saying it was a classic in terms of quality, but in terms of excitement it was a monumentous game. People in the office who aren't even into football were spellbound.
And I also want Ajax to win because then the nineties will have returned.
I f*cking hate Spurs.

I'm sure we're all dying to hear how Jai's getting on in the Islamic Republic of Iran. He was just subbed off there in his first start for Machine Sazi, away to Esteghlal (one of the Big Two in Iran.) Previously he made four appearances off the bench. 205 minutes of play so far, no goals.
Lee Erwin and Tony Stokes still doing well at Tractor Sazi, the other (and bigger) club in town.
Tony Stokes, foot like a Tractor engine!

If you head down I'm sure Zhivago will have some jobber ex-professional tied to a chair regaling them with his fantastic football insight and demanding they supply him with A+ insider information.
I’ll probably head to Choristers instead.
The security there is so lax. They’d probably even let someone like beetee in!
