Nev Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Why am I thinking some summer saturday = ab-mus pub crawl?ETA: However many randoms, however many pubs, however many of them rough as nails... what could possibly go wrong?

Captain America Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Annie's in MontroseThat is a top notch pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'll take it you're referring to the Market and the Star? Troupers and the Hook can flare up occasionally, and there's usually a bit of trouble in Divas: pink shirted neanderthals and 15 bottles of Bud is a dangerous cocktail!The Marine is my favourite of the lot, I'd rate it up there with Annie's in Montrose, the Anchor in Johnner, and the Moorings on my best local-ish boozer list.....indeed i was. aye, i don't venture through the back of the hook as i can't be arsed with some of the folk through there and haven't been in diva's since it was the vennel because i'm not 16.the marine is undoubtably a top class pub. it can't be beaten in the summer when you can have amazing food and a pint on the harbour wall in the sun. station is up there just for banter and friendly faces but the marine is unbeatable in stoney.

Soda Jerk Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Exhibition Soccerball tonight.It's going to be good, whoever wins. Unless it's a scrappy goal and a 1-0 win after 80 minutes of sitting back. Don't do that to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Boo. When did the Lido shut? I used to go in there every weekend when I was up in Elgin.I'm going to guess about 5 or so years ago? It re-opened for a short period from what I remember, but it was never the same... so it closed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 What a mint game. Old games are great.I really want to download Sensible Soccer from the Xbox Live Marketplace, but it costs so many points and I'm scared it won't have aged well.

The console versions were inferior in every way.The one on xbox live is a pretty decent port of SWOS on the Amiga it has to be said. Not the same without a zipstick though.

I wonder if I'd be any better at it these days, since I was only a young un back then.It didn't seem too hard back in the day. Shoot from just past the edge of the box, in the middle of the goal and add some aftertouch and you're guaranteed to score. Angled shots were always a winner as well. Seems nails now though but many games from my youth are. Maybe games are easier today or they use different skillsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I was crap at it when I had it, but I must have only been about 8 or 9 at the time. I always found that after touch always made it balloon over the bar. so I'd just try and run and take a straight shot as in line with the corner of the goal as possible.The computer was far too good at controlling the ball. They'd keep doing that thing where they'd jiggle from side to side with the ball to get in a good position to shoot.Have Xbox updated the squads on it? Or is it still the 94/95 season?
