Dae a ha' tae give ma fishy back?

After today, that rusting eye sore thats sits on the haed side of the tyne will be no more. The Tux is being towed away eventually to end up in Greece.

 

The only downside is we now need somewhere else to send the Scousers when they come up and ask where they should go for a night out.

[Guest alex]

Aye, if anyone who comes across as a prick asks where to go on a night out I'd always say 'the boat'. Having said that, most of them probably enjoyed it.

It was absolutely shite like, had some awful stench to it as well.

My Dad had his leaving do from work there on a Friday night on the bit on the top that they hire out for functions. It was a lovely summer evening and it turned out to be a good night. That bit is actually alright as well. However you had to go into the main bit for the loos. As it was early and it hadn't opened properly yet the staff were doing their clean up which involved them walking around spraying air freshener Also, by about 8.30 you had the odd charver who'd gone there purely (or rather puaarley) on the basis it was about a quid to get in. Canny funny seeing them sitting there with the music blasting, practically the only ones there and in broad daylight. With a bottle of blue wkd.

Revolving dance floor as well man.

[JawD 99]

The modern meaning of "tacky" was invented in that place. In fact, you could find every meaning of the word in there. The decor, the revolving dance floor everything. All tacky and tacky.

 

And that Blue wkd man, blood hell, I hate alco pops anyway, but thats like some kind of sweetened washing up liquid.

[Guest alex]

Great when people went AOT coming off the revolving dancefloor though.

Also, it didn't matter what night you went - Student night, 70s night, whatever - it was basically Gateshead charva night.

[The Fish 11098]

Truly glad that place is going.

 

to be honest if a prick asks me where to go I'll still probably tell them to go to the Boat, hopefully they'll think it's a magical invisible boat and jump in the Tyne in a Pied Piper Rat style.

 

The kids who enjoyed that place are the reason coat hangers were invented iyam
