Like South Central LA it is up there. No wonder it's so unbelievably shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 7 hours ago, gettafa said: Ohh, I hope so. If that is the case this is great news. Other than the beer tent and the FunFair, the Promenade has gone quiet over the past 10 years or so. Summerland was always busy and held the prize presentations, The Palace capitalised upstairs and downstairs and for a few years - prior to Bushy's Tent - was centre of attraction with The Bike Shed (aye, and the Bike Shed Babes), other places have simply closed down such as Castle Mona/Studebakers, The Imperial 'Imps, The Crescent etc. And for a few short years The Venue was the main attraction. The Villa/Villa Gardens is a fantastic TT venue but some years it has been under used. Bushy's Tent and all that goes with it will make sure that area is well used and appreciated. Good. A shitty beer tent in those beautiful gardens would be just about the worst thing that could happen in there. That Bushy's tent needs to be somewhere like Summerland or other hard standing or field. NOT the cultured well tendered gardens of our show piece Villa, I so hope this is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Down Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 So the conversation in Hooded Ram beer tent during TT 2018 would go along the lines of: Visiting bikers - "is this a different beer tent" Outraged local - "Yes, Douglas Corpy wouldn't let him have it this year and we are all outraged, want to sign our petition?" Visiting biker - "No thanks, can we have another two pints here love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visiting biker - "No thanks, can we have another two pints here love" It won't be that simple. Bikers know how shit our government is here. They and us loyal locals will vote with their feet and go back to Bushy's wherever it is. It's not like most people can afford to drink Hooded Ram beer in any quantity either. It will be seen as yet another attempt to poncify the TT. Which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy's was highly popular with locals and real TT fans. You're probably neither. Not many locals will be up for poncified expensive beer from the Hooded Ram. Most can't afford it. Except those wasters bringing in big government salaries who will be down there with their motheaten leather jackets on that get an airing once a year toasting another great government TT fuck up. The event only has a few years left anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooded Ram will not be relying on selling all their own stuff either, I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much like their IPA. But one or two glasses is enough. Then it's time for some food. If I was the sort of person more focused on quantity I'd probably just buy cider from the Spar.

Bikers will settle for anybody's beer as long as it tastes decent and there is access to food/music/other bikers. Visitors care not a jot about our government. They have enough problems with their own. The Bushy's crusaders seem to have difficulty understanding that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
