hissingsid Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It really was the place to go in the day, Cabaret, live music everyone dressed up that is when the Americans ran it. The membership was five pounds a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Gerry Dean who was a real character used to bring his black Labrador in and one of the security guys pulled him up about it so he went to the front desk and bought the dog a membership for a year it was a very well behaved hound. We seem to have lost all the characters that used to be around Douglas. Happy Days indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many nuclear scientist and surgeons used to visit the Casino… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police were given a hell of a job when closing time happened, and the constabulary were instrumental in greying out the closing time and spreading the load. But 3:30am is taking the piss. These days it is a case of tanking up on cheap booze around one of the houses, maybe take a line or two, or a tab of e and hit the 'clubs' (ie Jaks and 1886) and demand the market stays open to suit. I'm told by a friend of a friend's daughter that 1886 is the place of choice for any narcotics and how the owner and licencee have managed to evade conviction is a mystery, or may be not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, all we need to do to close the drug trade down is revoke 1886's license? The place gives younger people a place to go out, they've pushed the boat out with these gigs. And yes, where younger people congregate in groups, especially with young males in their peacock stage, there will be misbehaviour. So what, we encourage the young people to stay on island by closing down lively venues. God knows, they are in short supply as it is. Give it a rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Well it seems to be a field office of the police and ambulance service most weekends. Surprised they don’t have cars stationed down there by now to cut down response times. Probably comes with being a popular place, as do other issues. Paramount toilets looked like a snow storm went through after some nights. You could always tell the plain clothes plod though, at least if you were sober and working behind the bar. Guessing they’ll be happily mingling in 1886 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like most things that come from a friend of a friend. @andyonchan is quite right. The place is awash with the stuff. Most local people are aware of that. You seem to be in a very long trolling mission this week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not me that's saying how it is, it's a 20 something year old. I'm just putting it out there that is it known as a place to go to get your fix (if you're into that kind of thing).

It's well known. Plod know about it, members of the licensed trade know it and so do the youngsters. Not known as Eighteen Eighty sniff for the pleasing aromatic air fresheners....
