Pool Anyone?

The other day I went into a pub in my speedos and a towel under my arm, the barman – looking rather puzzled – asked what i was doing, i said the sign on the window said ‘food, beer garden, pool’

The old ones are the best. Anyways, I’m off to play pool next week and I realised I don’t know any good pubs with a good pool table that’s not always taken (also I’m a bit rusty and don’t even want to attempt ‘winner stays on’). Do you know any good pubs with a quiet pool table(s) in central or NE? Pool halls are too full of ‘bigger boys’ for my liking so the Elbow Rooms in Angel is a bad idea.

The pub that used to be the Red Lion in Kilburn and has now been revamped and renamed and I can’t remember the new name (oh, wait! I can! – The Westbury) has pool tables, but when I went in there a few weeks ago it was a bit trendy for my liking. That’s probably just me hankering after the old days, when I used to work there, though.

The problem with the Elbow Rooms is not so much that there are “bigger boys” there, but rather that they’re all complete and utter cunts of the highest order. If there was a City Livery company for the Worshipful Order for Cunts, all those chaps would be on the board.

Anyhooo, not to stray too far off topic. Pool y’say? Central y’say? Well, you could do a lot worse than try the pool hall under Centrepoint. Actually, it’s in the underpass under Centrepoint. And yes, it looks like a brothel or a place you wouldn’t want to take your worst enemy, but once inside it is a positive Shangri-la of pool (and snooker) related activities. You don’t have to be a member, but do have to pay a non-member’s fee if you aren’t. £3 or something similar.

It also has the plus side of being a short stumble into Harmony, for a quick giggle at the dildos and to stock up on your bondage gear. Result!
