You can’t see that it’s all staged? Even the Ukrain affair?
People who refuse the poppy should be deported to some third world cesspit…..
No one should be forced into a 'gesture' of any kind IMO. But banning wearers equally wrong.
they wernt banned for wearing anything ,the pub was advised not to open tothose getting involved in marches,protests,jst like every football fan has experienced a 1000 times ,anytime over the last 50 yrs,

And yes BFool it is completely staged and obviously you do t think that the lack of AIrForce use by the Ruskies has prolonged the war.
The canon fodder or meat grinder are what the people are in the kazi Gazza, expendable.
Whilst old boys and some younger women are on the front line shooting down drones or snapping the fibre optic cables used on the new drones the rest are partying away in Chicken Kiev going to art events, concerts swilling wine!
It’s a far cry from what Londoners and the other Brits in big cities went through during the Blitz.
Look up further at my comments about how ‘The War’ is being purposefully prolonged and for why that is.

It’s shown NATO to be useless, divided the West and pushed America away from Europe.

By the way a cab driver a young Romanian chap who drove me to the train station recently told me of how he drove his Ukraine girlfriend back home, out by Marople.
Drove all the way there! And BACK!

I said to my dad long time back that the likes of him hate all those old timers because they can tell you what it was like in the past.

Just like my workplace tried to apply pressure for us all to add 'pronouns' on our profiles - mine has none and never will.
Well done "Spoons" i spent 12 years in the Army, the Poppy was hijacked by the right wing cretins down the pub years ago who fantasise about what they would done if they were in the Military, but the military tell them to F-off, most of the brainless half-wits think Tommy Robinson or Rupert Lowe are patriots, they are just Grifters, scamming for money ..................

putin is in league with his neighbours to keep the war going as long as they are enjoying it. that is quite something. hats off to all concerned. magnificent effort. theyve shown us all up with this crime against humanity

As David Brent would have said about Busy - 'oooh you're hard...' 
would he indeed?

didnt kmow he was gay. not really my type but mephedrone makes almost anything possible
To add a little bit to my opening post...Spoons have denied that there's a blanket ban on wearing poppies, in fact they sell them as has already been pointed out
This was a decision made locally by the security staff, backed by the pub manager, who refused entry to the man/men unless the poppy was taken off...they claimed it could be seen as a political statement.
Seems a bit odd to refuse entry unless you take your poppy off, but you can buy one inside?...Although I guess, probably not in this particular spoons,in Gosport?

That right yet you haven’t answered why it’s a slow war? Why they haven’t used their airforce to Blitzkrieg those partying in Chicken Kiev!
Feel free in your own time to give an explanation to us all ‘ard nut!
“id keep away from anyone from the region if i were you. you will get a right-hander. if only it was mine”
Were you on the sauce then?
As for hope you’d better be spot on, as I told the sweaty who threatened to throw his hammer at me whilst I was on a roof!
, “Throw it and make sure that it’s a good shot! Because it’ll be coming straight back at ya!”
He stepped down and they ain’t all Clitcho or Toothy.

What’s with the dislike for the Poppy?
I could understand if a loved one lost a farm in Afghanistan during one of the many invasions or had a loved lost to the mainline.
But personally I can’t see what the issue is with wearing one.

im actually a raving pansy but would still iron you out delia pea brain
its painful to even acknowledge your existence. putin wanted it done in 2 weeks as his lickspittles told him it would be. the notion he wants a war now lasting longer than ww2 and mounting unrest at home is so utterly bananas im surprised even a moron of your very high quality could be that dense
go away

There are far more decent people in weatherspoons than low life
thats true
i know a couple of old boys who go there regular, and stay there all day. cheaper than home
but they will tell you low-life do congregate there. usually drugs or shoplifting involved

Might be the drunks staggering around at midday that puts some off the place though busy
It's not exactly a health club, though I agree it can be used for perfectly respectable meet ups.
nobody wants to meet you ion
i dont stagger stoo. you can get a decent-ish bottle of vino at 10 am, unknown elsewhere and jolly handy in an emergency
but as a regular haunt, no thanks

Best pint in spoons is the ipa sumo £3-49 better than the flat punk ipa, bud light 1-99
The Wetherspoons in Oxted is a cracking pub. Great value for a very decent pint. My normal pint of Abbott Ale is on occasions sub £2. Yes please!
Clean as a whistle. Friendly staff. The Breakkie is near faultless for what it costs.
Not saying it is the best but value for money is a definite, especially for how well the place is managed.
I have been in some Wetherspoons where you wipe your feet on the way out however, but not all pubs are run or managed well like any pub across the UK.

After this half term most of the holidaymakers gone, so not as busy as well...as Horatio says, most of the staff are good, it's a good meeting place for us old 'uns
I too drink Abbot, at 2.45 very good value, or the guest ales, and Stowford Press cider at 1.99 also nice

The slow war has seen a change of leadership in the States, one from one that wanted to back Ukrain to one that don’t give a tosss.
Europe has moved away from this new government in the US and no longer sees it as a protector.
People in Europe are divided over giving these bent lot more money.
Yet you can’t see the point of a slow war
Thick as shat!

As for the pub it’s a shathole, ends up with all the lashed up youths after the other pubs have shut who can’t hold their drink and want to fight.
Pints taste either flat or watered down.

If you don't like jdw thar is summit wrong with you, decent beer and food at a reasonable price, where else is the cost so reasonable?
Came back stronger than ever after lockdown, SP up a tasty 60% this year @ £10 +.
As for why people were asked to remove poppies at jdw, seems there were some local issues and no doubt it was done for a reason.
Should it have been done? I don't no and don't care I like jdw, patriots and the symbolism of the poppy as a show of respect.
Wearing a poppy is not compulsary and never has been anywhere,its part of the freedoms that were fought for. Our Armed Services need all the help and support they can get not to mention those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, been injured or suffer from mental health issues as a result of war.
I always donate and always have a thought for the fallen on Remberance Day, if you don't want to wear or donate fair enough but don't blabber on about being forced or try and pigeon hole others that observe the tradition.

NEWS RELEASE – WEARING POPPIES IN WETHERSPOON PUBS CORRECTION
A highly misleading headline in the Daily Mail (26 October) says: “Fury as Wetherspoon BANS veterans from entering if wearing a poppy” In fact, Wetherspoon has not banned veterans wearing poppies.
Wetherspoon is a long-standing supporter of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and sells poppies in its pubs.
Last year, for example, the pubs raised £55,867 for the appeal.
There was a demonstration in Gosport on Sunday, near Wetherspoon’s Star pub and there were extra security measures in place.
Unfortunately, some poppy wearers, and other members of the public, were refused entry.
On the advice of the police, the pub was closed for the rest of the day. The pub has now re-opened and Wetherspoon has apologised to customers for the inconvenience.
Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said: “Wetherspoon is a longstanding supporter of the Royal British Legion and sells poppies on its behalf every year in the pubs. Wetherspoon never has, and never would, instruct its staff to turn away people because they are wearing poppies.”

Wye valley brewery is just outside Hereford, about 90 miles from Somerset but ironically I had a flat in Hereford when I was working away there, up to about 3 years ago
Each midweek evening was spent in a pub called The Barrels, just off the centre, a great pub owned by Wye Valley itself...the bitter was £2.50 a pint, and a lovely pint.
If you ever find yourself in Hereford it's worth a visit. I know others on here have praised it in the past.

Barrels is the best pub I’ve ever been in and will be in there on the Wednesday of the paddy power meeting at Cheltenham they serve hpa in there it’s even better than the pint of hydes hopstar which I’m currently drinking in Manchester right now

Not a good midweek for the footy AP bets Reg with Maidstone losing at home in NLS to Ebbsfleet who look too good for this level. Having said that, the Stones gave as good as they got for the most part and it was just down to the finishing - Fleet had 3 shots on target, 3 goals. Clinical.
But Boreham Wood march on, another win at Woking puts them 10 points clear. And they are scoring plenty of goals even though Rush has been out for a while, now he's fit he can't get in the starting eleven

Can’t say I’m familiar with courage reg yes whilst I’ve never been to a point to point at Bangor I do know they go right handed I was there yesterday it was family Halloween day so many happy people yet the odd lot from wales want to ban horse racing
Dixie, I had a single on Ebbsfleet before last night's match on Bet356 outright at 7/2...must have shortened up today, not looked...plus chucked it in a couple of multiples...still think Truro might give them a run, I'm on them at big prices
I will pretend that i didn't see your 19.30 post jimnast
But just for the record - William Ralph "Dixie" Dean scored 349 goals in 399 games for the Blues. Mr Rush just 199 goals in 427 games for the Reds.
I did once see Rush score 4 goals in a 6 nil win against West Ham at Anfield , my Hammers supporting mate had always wanted to see his team play there, so i went with him for moral support - they were 4-0 down at Half Time, he was not a happy bunny

Looks a good cover bet Reg, Fleet are about 6/4 now. Stones are out to 10s.
Dixie I’m a united fan so it’s not easy to praise a Liverpool player but rush was incredible my opinion is swayed as he was playing when the bookmakers first started betting on first goal scorers rush would be around 6/1 for the live games I wanted Liverpool on every week it was one of the best betting opportunities there has ever been you were getting 6/1 a 5/2 at best shot and he seldom let you down
Dont see many Courage pubs these days ... my local £7.20 for a pint of Guinness
Stringy, their brewery used to be by London or Tower Bridge, can't remember which, but definitely South of the river in Bermondsey/Southwark...Millwall area anyway
£7.20...!!!! About £4.20 where i am
£7.20...!!!! About £4.20 where i am
Yes jimnast, a top striker indeed and he liked playing and usually scoring against the team he used to support as a lad (unfortunately )
I did him a a slight disservice with the above stats, i forgot he actually played on loan for the Reds prior to re-signing permanently for them from Juve in 1988, scoring 30 goals in 42 games, so making that 229 goals in 469 games.
I've only made it to Old Trafford once, almost exactly 40 years ago. We were oop north for the Merseyside Derby on the Sunday, so went to Utd's match against QPR on the Saturday and it just happened to be Sir Alex's first home game in charge, a 1 nil win. Little did we know how things would pan out after that.
It was £2.75 to stand on the Stretford End

£7.20 for a Guinness String Used to be about 30p back in the late 70s.
I was looking at some SAHB memorabilia recently , they played the Reading festival in 1977 with other acts like Aerosmith, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, Thin Lizzy etc.
Total cost for a 3 day weekend ticket was £7.95
This year a weekend ticket was £296

The Courage Brewery was close to Tower Bridge , ten minute walk from where I grew up .. im drinking in the wrong pub and wrong areas
Dixie great story I remember paying £2.50 for the 76 cup final I would not have remembered fergies first game but I do remember qpr a team I would love to see back in the premier league loftus road a great ground beating united 4 0 at old Trafford New Year’s Day
Loftus Rd is still a great ground , old school close up to the pitch with a brilliant view.
Last time i was at Loftus Road was a few weeks before the 95 Cup final (when EFC upset the apple cart by beating Utd ), Sir Les was playing for QPR and of course scored the opener. The toffees hpwever ended up winning 3-2 with a last minute howitzer of a free kick from Andy Hinchcliffe securing the points.
One of my favorite Big Match memories was from 1977 when Everton won 5-1 at Loftus Road with another fine goal scorer Bob Latchford notching four goals, luckily Brian Moore and the ITV crew were there to cover it Stan Bowles was in the QPR side, another super player.

Below the belt Dixie regarding 95 but to be fair I don’t mind Everton your captain is a friend of my family my brother his is god father and he really looks after him
Good stuff jimnast . Your brother looks after him well as he hardly misses a game
95 was the last year EFC won a trophy, no wonder i remember it so well

i,d imagine 80% of racegoers [ include myself in that 80% ] at chelt would rather be drinking beer lager,cider etc but go for the guiness as a tradition, keep reading about this alcohol free version,but whats the point, why ?
i,d be expecting it to taste like cold black coffee ,what is the actual taste REG ?

I detect a few snobs on here. Nowt wrong with spoons. Oh and 0% Guinness is as close as you can get imo of the non alcoholic types.
