NPB! Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I think it might have been called Stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeshine Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 The name doesn't ring a bell with me. I can't recall it being up any stairs, or coming down any to leave...but my wife tells me as I type that we went en bloc with a "Firm's Christmas Do" and I was completely bladdered that night. She says she can't remember going up any stairs to it either, and as for me she say's I wouldn't have got down them anyway, the state I was in. So we must both have been completely drunk that night. Ah...the joys of youth! I remember the "turn" on that night...a singer who we had seen at our hotel on Malta a few month's earlier! She came away with his signed photo after the show, I bought a big Maltese Cross on a Chain and brought that home. The photo ended up in the loft of our previous house for years afterwards. :hihi: The massive Maltese Cross and long chain was modelled by me at many local pub visits throughout the rest of the 70's...together with my flared trousers. I weighed it in for scrap in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeshine Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Now I've had a drink, but much less than I had that night I reckon it was the Star. Thanks for your help. I shall now have another drink to celebrate an answer to my 30-odd years old mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeshine Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Shoeshine, How much did it make in the scrap market for the old Maltese Cross. It was heavy, I'll grant you............for years afterwards I walked with a stoop. I won't describe:hihi: what medical condition the tight crutched flared trousers inflicted upon me but.............I never recovered my reputation.
