Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, September 29, 2006, 11:53:14 I actually did the night out for that piece my mate wrote it! All good fun, I never diud the bulldog when at college but the repuatation we were given led us to believe it would be good, not hugely impressed with it myself though. The biggest disappointment was one or two in the Wescott place area, no people in them at all!

I used to leg it there for a quick pint in the middle of my 3 hour lessons. Often didn't come back. Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: STFCDude on Friday, September 29, 2006, 13:00:39 I've been in 4 of the 5 on there. Surprised the Cock Robin isnt mentioned on there though
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: yeo on Friday, September 29, 2006, 13:15:41 its been shut for years but granted that was easily swindons hardest pub
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, September 29, 2006, 13:20:09 why the CGH anyway? :D
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, September 29, 2006, 13:40:09 The guy from the article suggested it, I guess it was due to it's footy history, tbh a timid kinda place on a non match day. The itinary was sort of pre destined, sort of random as we drove past places.

Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Leggett on Friday, September 29, 2006, 22:57:29 been in the bulldog and the cgh, thats about it :P
oh, and the moonies, pre-facelift. i was young, and quite scared :P Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, September 29, 2006, 23:27:21 The Bulldog is alright really. Used to go there every tuesday lunchtime at college and sink a few pints. You only really saw old drunks in there at that time, which is what I aspire to be when I'm retired 8)
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: hansgruber on Friday, September 29, 2006, 23:45:43 My Dad used to be a Deer's Leap regular. Anyone else know "Sid the Kid"?
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: millom red on Saturday, September 30, 2006, 02:47:39 None of them are what i would call HARD PUBS!

Millom xxx Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Compo on Saturday, September 30, 2006, 08:44:06 When im pissed i find it really hard to say Gamekeeper pub!
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: cavpete on Saturday, September 30, 2006, 12:00:36 aaah the cock robin was my local for a few years then i went to the bulldog. remember when a bloke walked in and said he is the ardest in the parks (high as a kite) this little bloke just laughed his head off stood up and sparked him out in one punch and said nope you are a pussy now piss of to the crumpled horn soapy tit wank
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, October 1, 2006, 17:28:29 Has anyone been in the Ship in Rodbourne? And the one across the road isnt much better. Even the lads with Irish roots shake their heads when I mention the ship. Ive never been, being a true royal loyal Brit n all. :mrgreen:
The Tap must be the roughest location for a pub in Swindon. Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: yeo on Sunday, October 1, 2006, 17:34:59 I think the Ship has been taken over and turned into a live music pub
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: cavpete on Monday, October 2, 2006, 07:17:17 The ship used to have a bad following. They used to go between the grapes and the ship on the weekends looking for trouble. It was that rough even the dogs had hobnail boots on.

Was my local for nearly 2 years, and never felt dodgy at all. 50p pool table too - result!
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: yeo on Monday, October 2, 2006, 18:20:56 The Greyhounds alright again its a Pub with its fair share of proper drinkers.
Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: Frigby Daser on Tuesday, October 3, 2006, 15:02:09 Anybody else left a pub when it became clar you were there only non-BNP member in there? i think my failure to join in with 'No Surrender' and join in with the ol' Nazi salute did me few favours too....
Leeds is great Title: Swindons Hardest Pubs Post by: RobertT on Thursday, October 5, 2006, 12:56:45 The Dagger is my Dad's local, his pint gets poured as soons as they see his head through the window. Been in a few times with him recently, seems to be a few proper Chelsea fans present and a couple of faces I'.ve seen at the CG. Wouldn't really think it was "hard" though, as such.
Went into a pub in Dublin, well away from the centre, which was intimidating, especially the conversation about how all British tourists should fuck off back home. A lot of Republican stuff on the walls and a real liking of Gaelic Hurling. On exiting we realised the pub was called The Patriot - should have known better. Still, the Guiness was nice. |
