| 7. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 17th Feb 2024. 09:22 Tennents Lager back in the Middle Ages - before I knew any better. Been an ale man since working in Maclays of blessed memory as a student. That was where I learned that a barrel was actually a legal measure of 36 Imperial gallons rather than a generic name for bulk beer which it had become in common usage. Reply |

| 12. Author: GG Riva Date: Sun 18th Feb 2024. 07:52 A classmate with a provisional licence "borrowed" his dad`s car,picked up 3 of us and we headed to the Halfway House in Kingseat. We sat with our pints of lager at the far end from the bar. Five minutes later, two cops in uniform came in. One had a good look around and the other bought a packet of fags. We tried to melt into the background and not wet ourselves. Four huge sighs of relief when they left. I hadn`t known we were going for a pint and had grabbed my school blazer, complete with braid and prefects badge. My pal scratched his dad`s car when he drove it back into the garage. 😁  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 13. Author: ZiggyB Date: Sun 18th Feb 2024. 21:06 GG lol do pubs ever get raided these days by the Polis?? My first was the Tap Goth which doesn`t exist now but would now be part of the Kingsgate Reply |
| 14. Author: OzPar Date: Mon 19th Feb 2024. 02:18 Great story, GG. I was tall at 16 and looked 18. My first pint was with my grandfather in a pub on Byers Road in Glasgow called The Curlers. My Grandad thrived on a wee bit of mischief... :) Reply |
| 15. Author: evo! Date: Tue 20th Feb 2024. 12:49 I was also a Hole (Watering hole first pinter) like many others. Carslberg was £2.00, export £2.20. Aftershock i think was £2 as well, began with this pattern i think age 16. Great pub, pool tables, music, good crowd, and a beer garden. Miss the old place. BEAST! Reply |
| 16. Author: KirklistonPar Date: Tue 20th Feb 2024. 19:35 Buying my first pint would have been from the east port bar or the old inn back in ‘93. Had many a great night in the east port and was lucky enough to enjoy a lock in with super Johnny Watson in the little library bar through the back. He even let us attempt to pour our own pints. I do remember being refused entry to sinky’s on my 18th even though I’d been drinking in there a few times. Reply |
| 17. Author: veteraneastender Date: Wed 21st Feb 2024. 09:14 The Old Inn was where the club was originally formed I believe ? I discovered recently that my great grandfather was publican for around 5 years about the turn of the 1900s. Maybe an early Pars fan !!! Reply |
| 18. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 21st Feb 2024. 10:16 veteraneastender, Wed 21 Feb 09:14 If only he had passed on why we were called The Pars. That`s still a bit of a mystery, despite the great thread we had on it. You would think if there was one definitive answer even in the early days, then that would have been consistently the story told. You would also think someone would have written it down somewhere, get it noted, set in stone as it were Reply |
| 19. Author: Parboiled Date: Wed 21st Feb 2024. 13:58 1966 Old Inn, window table, aged 16. Three of us lunch time escapees from day release at Lauder Tech. Pint of light, horrible. Barman had a moustache. The pie was so old it was growing one. Reply |
| 20. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Wed 21st Feb 2024. 16:17 First pint in a bar was the Penny Farthing on Kdy High St 16 year old, working part time at Safeway, directly across the road, for the princely sum of £1.05 per hour. My new best mate (work colleague) took me and my first wage packet of £8.50 over the road for one, then up to Bentleys - Thursday was pay day. Got absolutely wasted - sure it was something mental like 50p a pint and 50p a Southern Comfort and lemonade - £5 worth purchased in the happy hour. Next day at school wasn’t fun…  Reply |
