Buzzbys Photo Albums

These 2 photos are from the albums in Buzzbys, the bottom one showing Phil, Rish, and Frankie with a lion cub...I wonder what happened to it ? Where was the top one taken, anybody know?

Message Board

I just want to apologise to every one who tried and failed to put messages on board over the last day or so. It was my fault, I accidentally locked everyone out !
Sorry for that, hope it didn't cause too much trouble...Its back to normal now !

Yates Wine Lodge

Just a couple of pictures here from Pat Murphy. These date back to about 1977, in Yates Wine Lodge. A few well know faces here !

More from Jean !

The year on the top photo is 1990, and Jean is stood with Soapy who ended his time here in Lloret running La Uva with 'red' Debbie. They did turn it into an Irish bar, of which I have photos myself somewhere, I'll have to get them out!
He eventually had to return to the UK because of ill health and sadly died not long after. The photo looks like it was taken outside Sweeneys judging by the board in the background.

The 2nd photo today is another one taken in La Uva, and shows Jean with Garry & Wilma. The year on this one is 1994.

Captains Arms & La Uva

The first photo today comes from John McSwan, the year is 1972 in the Captains Arms.

Next is from Lynne's album, with a photo from her 'La Uva' years..the year maybe mid 80s ?
Louis at the very back behind the bar, I've not seen him for a few months now but Lynne did tell me he is still with us...but just not getting about so well these days!

Just for Max !

This photo is one which Max sent me from Ricky's website and asked me to include it on the blog.

Pink Maria!

After reading the hilarious tales of 'Picasso's' on the Message board here is a reminder of another popular workers abode.
Just down the road from La Uva where this was taken, was Pink Maria's. I never stayed there but I'm sure there's a few tales out there from the people who did ?
There she is far left on the first photo, which Lynne from La Uva kindly brought over this week along with a few more which I'll be putting on the blog shortly.

The next one is again is from Jean's collection, taken on Pink Maria's roof, where I believe you could get your hair cut and sleep at a reduced rate if the rooms were full !

Another photo from John McSwan, showing everyone having a good knees up at Rabbies, who's the one in the middle who lifted her knees up too much ?

Club 1900

Black & White days again with another of Omelete's photos from the 1900 Club in 1972, maybe a bit too far back for some to remember.

Then another photo from Jean the year she gave for this photo is 1986 and taken in Beachboys, with her very good friend Andy... he must be coz he's on nearly every photo she gave me!!
(Sorry Andy, but its true !)

Bumpers

'Omelete' can be seen in the top photo hanging upside down from the stairs!
Frank (seen below on the far right) sent me the other photo from 1984, which was taken in Bumpers.

Maxims

I received this photo from Gary McGowan earlier today, not only with the names of the people on the photo, but also the country from which they came!
He also put in a few kind words about the site which you can read in the comments below.

''I have attached a photo of the Maxim prop team 1982 (with 2 interlopers form Amsterdam disco) I hope you will consider posting it. The people are: Backrow: Peter (lange benen – from Holland), Malc Coombs (Maxim’s prop manager - Coventry), Ruben (Argentina), Kevan (Amsterdam disco - UK)Crouching: Knocker (Amsterdam Prop manager - UK)Front row: Doris (Germany), Brigitta (Germany), Yours truly (Coventry)On the floor: Gerry (Holland)''

Below we have another photo of the staff from Texas, in what looks like a successful darts match!

Back to the 80s ...

With these two photos we go back to the 80s, thanks again to Jean.
Nicky Tams above and below is what looks like a ladies night out, where a couple of the boys have sneaked in !

Black & White Days !

Both photos from the days of B& W film today, going back to 1973 !
John McSwans photo (above) from the Captains Arms, and Angie's photo below was taken outside Moef Ga Ga. In the photo with her is David Pooley who she said called into Gerry's Bar this summer to say ''hello''. He now lives in Norway and runs an animal rescue centre. Here is a link for the centre ...

Gerry's Bar.

These two were sent in by Frank, both are in Gerry's, in the top photo he is on the left at the bottom of the picture.

Behind the bar in Gerrys in the next photo Frank say's ''John Granger. Paul. Julie. I cant remember the Spanish guy he was a top guy wife and family sorry''

La Uva

More photos from (Aunty) Jeans album. The top one, I'm not sure where this was taken but she is pictured with (Good on Yer!) Bob. Bob is still visiting Lloret as often as possible.
The year she gave me for the next 2 photos is 1987, these were taken in La Uva.
Here is Sue, Ray,Denis (ex White Horse) and Lynne in the background, just behind Denis.

The above photo shows Sue again, Debbie (who is still here in Lloret) and Aunty Jean !

Mariners Bar.

The coloured photo was sent to me last night along with loads more from 'Scottish' Frank. So thanks a lot for your time Frank, I know it must have taken most of your evening.
Going back to the black & white days below, with another photo from Omelet...second from the left.

Cutty Sark

This photo is from Rod (on the left) who has been coming to Lloret for quite a few years now.
Chris is in the middle (sadly no longer with us) and on the right is Antonio, who worked with Chris. Antonio is still here in Lloret and often has a game of golf up at Papalus with Alan Hagger.

Guardia Civil !

No don't worry, the Guardia Civil haven't been in touch........Yet!

The above photo is from (Aunty) Jean, going back to 1958.
Here she is posing on Boadella beach with the Guardia Civil, I don't like that smile on his face...too creepy!
Then moving on 50 yrs later, here she is again sat in the Orient Express with the usual cup of tea. I dont suppose anyone out there can break her record?

This next photo was sent by John McGuire, he's at the front with the beard...who else is there?

Scotch Corner ?

Behind the bar here is Steve, Albie and Stuart...and Alan Hagger (AGAIN !!!)
Is this taken in the Scotch Corner? I not sure

Message Board

I have created a new feature for the blog which I hope will be of use to both new and regular readers, fingers crossed it will work !

You should be able to go to the link and exchange your messages there after creating your account. I don't intend for the message board to replace the blog in any way, as I enjoy working on the blog so much! it is just an added feature.
So please continue to view Lloret Old Stuff as before, as I will still be here putting on the photos just as often.

All I ask is that you don't abuse the site by using bad language etc, I must say that all comments and emails I have received so far have been of nothing but praise for the blog and also when you have all spoke about each other....so thanks for that!

Here is the link...Message Board Good Luck, hopefully it works !
You will also find another link at the top of the page in the blog description.

Today's picture taken out side the Prince of Wales & Colin's Cabin is from 'Omelet'

La Campana - Pedro's

Todays photo looks like Christmas or New year at Sweeneys, with a young looking Steve on the right and also a very young looking Sax on the left!
Below is a postcard from everybodys favorite chicken place...Pedro's.
