Private eyes or Bugsys Browns

it would be to see my mum but lucky enough i share house with her

Does that place still exist?   Spent a few nights in there 15 years ago when i used to travel up to visit my cousin who worked for bp.  Used to be the best value strip bar in history back then.  Those Aberdeen lads don't like parting with their money.  Got to be the steepest hill in history the street the strip club is on!   Tough walking up it to get a taxi pissed up.

club is still around, used to be £5 a dance 10-15 years ago when all other clubs in town were £10-20
spent many a break from the cash games in there. the hill was not nice for wheelchairs never mind drunks it was cobbles
5 steep steps to get into aswell lucky me got to go through the firedoor and the changing rooms to get in and out

It was a fiver a pop back then.  Cracking value.  Forgot about the cobbles.  Where was the casino/cash game local to that club?  Didn't realise there was a casino close by.

the international casino was on market street down by the harbour walking distance away
there was a £20rb on a monday (dealers choice cash game followed) wednesday was a £10 rebuy and friday was just a dealers choice cash game
double flop 7 card PLO (james bond) was the short handed game of choice most nights  6 card (sean bean)
casino sadly folded after the owners lost there drinks licence but the new G casino is just 100 yards away from where the International was at the bottom of union street

there was atleast 8 strip clubs in the area of bugsys but bugsys was the cheapest and best access

Those were good old times Chief - ahem the poker and craic - although me old boss used to try and work it so we ended up in one of those shocking establishments when we had a works night out sigh

I'm using lockdown / not gigging for a long overdue project. Brian May was the reason I picked up a guitar 30+ years ago, so on a whim last week I ordered a Brian May Red Special guitar and am learning a lod of Queen songs note for note. Not just close, with my own twist on them, but exact.
So far I've nailed;
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- We Will Rock You
- Don't Stop Me Now
- Somebody To Love
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Today I'm finishing off We Are The Champions, then on to Hammer To Fall and Tie Your Mother Down, which are tricky because I've been gigging them years and I have to unlearn my versions before learning them right. Good fun though.
