peterern   10 #361 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) I have just driven down Herries Rd and seen that the Five Arches pub has been demolished. Very sad. Some good memories.

csidesue   10 #365 Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah god yeah! I remember that!  I`d forgotten all about that place.  I also remember a sort of shop/warehouse thing on that industrial estate just past the five arches bridge in the 70s,,, I remember going with my sister and she got me one of those calculators with the red LED numerals... the height of modern technology!  We got it from there instead of Freds because it was like 50p cheaper  i think the place you are talking about was fred hartleys...it was supposed to be trade but i think everyone had got a pass to get in there, we really thought we were buying some real bargains, would be worth a fortune on ebay now though. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mr_blue_owl   10 #367 Posted November 24, 2009 That's very deep Mr blue but brilliant, you must put them on the limerick thread though, because we've now gone off topic. (Are you a writer by any chance?)  Hi Joto, You are too kind. No I am not a writer, although I just joined the Writers Group on this forum and posted the Bolibar poem there. I just write stuff to relax usually put down first thing that come into my head Maybe you like this one:  Lost in the Post  I was reading one of those magazines With pictures of girls from the Philippines It said they delivered ‘brides by post’ So I picked out the girl I liked the most  Now she was a girl named Angelina Dressed in a bikini down at the marina She looked real good laid on the deck So I filled in the form and wrote out a check  I watched for the postman coming to my house To deliver a package containing my spouse But I never got the girl I liked the most My mail order bride got lost in the post  I went to the Post Office in the High Street I said to the clerk ’I’m expecting a treat A hot Asian babe from over the sea Please tell me that you have a parcel for me’  ‘Can you describe the contents please’? I said ‘Five feet tall with 36Cs’ But he couldn’t find the girl I liked the most I guess she must have got lost in the post  I begged him to please take another look So he opened up an important looking book As he read these words I was so dismayed ’ Returned to Sender - Postage Underpaid’  So I reached right over gave him a smack For sending my cute Filipina back For she was the girl I liked the most My mail order bride was returned in the post  He said ‘Hey man adjust your attitude When your girl arrived she was in the nude She should have worn postage stamps at least So we had no choice but to send her back East ‘  Sweet Angelina, I never even kissed her So I got the magazine and ordered her sister ‘Cos she’s the girl I like second most I hope she doesn’t get lost in the post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
