R.I.P Stevie, thanks on behalf of everyone for the happy memories!

Thanks to Terri....

 Thanks to Terri for allowing me to take her old Lloret photos from her facebook to use on the Old Stuff blog. In the bottom photo can anyone tell us what building is being built or rebuilt?

Photos from Dave

 Two great photos today from Dave....there he is with Cyril in the bottom pic!

More from Mariano

Today we travel back to 1971 in the Westcoast with another photo from Mariano and a selection of his propaganda cards from some of the most popular bars and clubs.

Malachi's Photos

 After the last few days of sadness I hope I'm doing the right thing here by trying to get back to normality by once again publishing photos on the blog - Stevies photos will still be here, find them by clicking on the link for 'Buzzbys' under the 'Featured Bars and Events' heading, also this will also find a great photo sent in by Sue of both Stevie and Rish together behind the bar in Buzzby's.

These two photos come from Malachi, with the first one from Rabbie Burns back in 1971, as for the next one I'm not sure whats going on here ! I believe it was some sort of set up photo but not sure why, I didnt get chance to ask Malachi. Next time I see him I'll have to find out...unless anyone out there knows?

Sad News

More news is now known about Stevies sudden and tragic death.

After speaking to Stevie's family Albie has just informed me that the cause of death was a scuba diving accident. 

Our thoughts are with his family, he will be greatly missed by all his friends and as everyone is saying "Lloret will never be the same"

Sad News

We have sad news today.

Stevie of Buzzbys has sadly passed away while on holiday in Vietnam as yet no further details are available. A very dear friend of everyone who knew him, he will leave a big gap in all our lives, condolences to Stevie's family at this sad time.

Llorets Ex-workers Reunion 2011

Reunion 1997

Another Lloret de Mar workers reunion is planned for next September. On Saturday the Piccadilly or Pedro's has been mentioned for the next get together.... but its still early days so it will be decided later. I'm sure that everyone who was here last May will agree that it was a great success....and judging by messages and emails that I've recently received then this years should be the same!  More and more people are finding the Old Stuff site these days, so hopefully the new comers will be able to join in this year!

So, who's got booked so far??

Reunion 2010

On the Beach

Sue, Julie and Barry

Julie has sent some more of her photos from her good old  days in Lloret....on the beach with not a bar in sight but I'm sure the men will think these are a much better sight for a change. Julie did ask me to censor them some how....hope you like what I've done Julie ;-)

Several people, including Sue in the 1st photo have been in touch recently and have asked me to put a piece on the blog about the next reunion, so I'll be doing this maybe tomorrow....unless the sun is shining again! (I am still on holiday!)

Two Julie's on the beach!
