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 !)
