It used to be a tenner, but was open til 4. More of a door than a gate though, but you could pay on it. Had some messy nights in there.
Personally I hope the Vikings were right. I quite fancy the idea of an afterlife consisting of days of drinking and partying followed by nights of violence. I'd be very crap at the violence part, but would certainly enjoy the rest of it
I could handle a bit of that. Not the violence bit though. I'd hide in the bogs in the pub 'til they'd all left to do their pillaging, then carry on drinking in to the night. Hope it's not for eternity though. Eternity is just a little bit too long for me. I think I'd get tired.
I wouldn't bother going, it's overrated Everyone is trying to get to the bar The name of the bar, the bar is called heaven The band in heaven, they play my favourite song Play it one more time, play it all night long Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens There is a party, everyone is there Everyone will leave at exactly the same time When this party's over, it will start again It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens When this kiss is over it will start again It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be this much fun Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens
Some people say its really good they've got decent accommodation and swimming pools and loads of entertainment...................oh hang on that's Haven
Re: Some people say its really good Does that mean you CAN take money with you when you die then? Chuff the kids I haven't had yet...
Possibly the most creative lyrics ever: In Heaven Everything is fine In Heaven Everything is fine In Heaven Everything is fine You got your good thing And I've got mine In Heaven Everything is fine In Heaven Everything is fine In Heaven Everything is fine You got a your good thing And you've got mine In Heaven Everything is fine In Heaven In Heaven Everything is fine You've got a your good thing And you've got mine In Heaven Every thing is fine
No, I'm fine thanks. Pixies. In Heaven (Lady In the Radiator Song). Has Barry Taylor resigned yet? Has he taken Maurice with him?
