What a strange place. the railway pub was even stranger the first person Eastlower and myself saw was huge heffer built like a bus stop eating greasy fried rice and a pot on her ankle where she'd sat on her foot sat with a bearded woman. anyway beer later and gazredtyke turns up after getting lost using his Iphone getting lost app and we walk up the steepest hill I have ever seen. Keeping up with traditions we missed kick off. First half, noticd the linesman looked like robert carlye and couldnt keep up with play. Oddjob won a few headers and somehow scored, found his level! Steele had a few saves to make and the right back looked ok Silverlands looks like it has suffered an explosion from a safestyle windows factory and the bird behind the bar was apparently dripping into a drip tray. Second half the younger players looked quick and skillfull and have potential. Left the game and went down the hill to the white lion pub which was the haunt of the local teenage hardmen gang. The landlady looked like an extra off Cell block H and the till was miles from the bar so it didnt get lifted. Played darts badly and the ale was shocking. Went back to the railway to check out the thriving local kareoke scene. got a drink and the first person we saw was the big heffer grinding on the dancefloor and some really bad singing. Gaz buggered off after an hour and heads home in his hairdressers car. ESL and myself, we stopped for an extra hour being the only straight blokes in there in a room full of fanny. Called it a night as we couldnt stop laughing at some of the sights. Will be returning when Uni starts back up as theres a hall of residience in buxton . . .
It is quite a unique town, my Mum's side of the family is from there and my Nana still lives there. Know the place well but never had a night out there... YET!
I still can't quite understand why that lad asked you if it was Gay to kiss another man on the cheek. I think that it was also the 1st & probably last Karaoke ive been to where people actually danced to the songs been sung. The bouncers would have been too small to work on the doors at Mothercare. Also that wierd kid who kept walking around the ground was definatly him out of Deliverance.
That kid came and stood next to us for a bit. He looked like Luke Chadwick and Stephen Hawkings lovechild
he kept walking past us then would appear nxt to us again 30 seconds later, there must have been a tunnel under the pitch.
Buxton must be the only team to have a sponser board around the ground what reads 'Mycocks' (respect)
Went there last year for our annual girls weekend away. Very strange place. Wall to wall charity shops (which is great when you urgently need to buy a cheap pair of cowboy boots), and I never been to a place that had so many wierd looking folk in pubs. Then again we did look odd ourselves.
