The Cat Posted 2 October, 2023 Author Share Posted 2 October, 2023 Perry McMillan popping up again for some more self publicity. "A decade of mockery." As if I've ever heard any one mention it and I work in Portsmouth. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/02/ancient-tribunal-to-consider-why-lights-on-southampton-bridge-are-blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 2 October, 2023 Share Posted 2 October, 2023 (edited) McMillan is and always has been a complete and utter weirdo. Alongside Chuckles Chorley and Illingsworth, these pricks have been obsessed with putting themselves in the Saints limelight for years. The other common denominator is that they’re all as thick as fuck. Edited 2 October, 2023 by The Kraken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 2 October, 2023 Author Share Posted 2 October, 2023 I've not seen him at a game for years. Such a huge fan of the club obviously. Chorley was a Man Utd fan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMillan popped up again recently in the echo something about taxi drivers i don’t mind Nick, he’s the best of them and at least he genuinely does love the club and would do anything for the fans, whereas the others I felt just loved the limelight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago I used to think he was a myth, I heard so much about him from so many people but I never saw him. Then when I bought my first ever flat in central town, on my very first morning there I wandered out to the newsagent and there he was! Used to see him loads, same old ‘uniform’ of a massive grey double breasted suit, a significant limp, plus the every present cackle and sometimes a cry of “you nutter” for unknown reasons. Southampton legend. But yeah, the nickname probably needs work these days….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last saw him a couple of years ago in Shirley. Same suit. I've never seen someone look so scruffy in a suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also ran a local (Weston based?) youth team, Sky Blues, named as such as they were the only team approached (Coventry) who helped provide a kit. Nick is OK and has been a consistent Saints fan for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloucester Saint Posted 29 December, 2023 Share Posted 29 December, 2023 (edited) Juniper Berry re-opened and then shut again https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c252l0gylx4o and https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/23979920.juniper-berry-pub-closes-just-weeks-reopening/ That pub has traded under a few names and had a lively reputation in the 1970s/80s (before my drinking time). Asbestos is a pain in the arse commercially and/or residentially. Depends on the extent and type of the asbestos but Admiral Taverns should be able to afford to have it removed by a specialist firm per se unless the other repairs needed make it uneconomic, probably the roof which can be very pricey. Surprised it was offered for lease in that condition tbh. Usual calibre of comments on the Echo page! Long list here of S Hants/Soton area pubs shut/closed that I’ve used over the years including the Platform (didn’t know about the fire), Waterloo Arms (was a lovely Hopback pub with a summer beer festival), Yacht Tavern (was in there after Sheff Utd great escape game 2008), and Roll Call in Butlocks Heath which is a large site. Variable pub. https://www.shantscamra.org.uk/beer/pubdata/survey/closedpubs.php Albion closed opposite Winchester station, that used to be a good pub. Anchor in Test Lane shut this year too, did decent food early 00s. Edited 29 December, 2023 by Gloucester Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Southampton as always leading the way. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1877284/city-becoming-cocaine-gateway-uk-dealers-arm-kids-crossbows Not sure why people are bothering to smoke weed in car parks. May as well just walk down the street puffing away like a lot of other people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
