£2500 Laverda 750 Lower Kingswood Surrey

All very interesting, but who gazumped you on the SF and by how much, and then once we know that you can close the thread down and start a new one on property law....
 
I don't even know if I was gazumped Andy, I offered the asking price, and anyway re your last comment, you can shut your face as Sarah Milican would say, but I have to add you tailess skinny Manx Moggy

I think you might have difficulty buying me a pint in the Liverpool arms you UFB as it’s been boarded up for the last year or so, and in any case since Okells got a new head brewer apparently their beer isn’t fit for even steak and ale pie!
 
oh dear no Liverpool arms, I always went there on Tuesday of Race week to meet Irish friends, it was a standing deal that if we were in the IOM we would go there in the hope that the others were there also, it had a very strange habit of working,even though I miss a year or two regularly.

I hope that Bushys is thriving, it was when I was last there and the clever move of the pop up pub in the Villa Marina gardens. What was the other brewer who thought that the pop up pub on the prom (previously Bushhys domain) would work, it didnt, everyone went to the Bushys one,
something with a name that was horse related?

need a new favorite, (near) Douglas pub then

Doghouse came and went pretty quickly, then we had the Hooded Ram for not much longer. The former proprietor has now started up as Odin’s Brewery. Former Okell’s Head brewer, Mike Cowbourne has also set up his own micro brewery. Lastly, Old Laxey is still in business supplying the Shore Hotel with Bosun Bitter.
Bushys is still hanging in there. They had the presence of mind to do a deal during covid with Shoprite for their supermarkets to sell 2 pint plastic bottles filled with cask ale. Still available now at 3 for a tenner. Smart move by Martin B.

When I bought my house it was $$$ or best offer. I offered the $$$, which was accepted by the owner and agent.
Then the next day I got a call from the agent saying they had a better offer, after mine, and I would need to better it if I wanted it.

I stood my ground, saying: My offer was accepted, and it was a sale, not a fucken auction and if I had to report him/the agent, I would.
I got it, as initially accepted.

Must have been Castletown- pretty foul if I remember correctly. Busheys Steam beer I remember- they used to have a van in the shape of a bottle. Haven’t been since ‘93.

I saw the Bushey's van parked in Ramsey on Thursday. I had a pint of Bosun's (Laxey Brewery), very nice. O'Kells is still good, I didn't even try Busheys, they're Piston Broke is the worst beer I've ever tasted.218150866_403913254389115_3813099625093047063_n.jpg218914418_4065562076830536_1507084269620138527_n.jpg

Re the picture, with the beer in hand, is someone taking the piss? The river direction markers must be for kids on bogey boards. Or pissed patrons leaving the pub.
