Thanks Clint, from Dr Kildare to Hamlet to Tchaikovsky to Shogun to Musketeer to Thad Luckinbill's lover in Nip/Tuck, Richard Chamberlain certainly did it all.
I'm sure there are many đŸ‡ºđŸ‡¸ guys who had experienced the Earls Court haunts in the past. So many memories stored away sighhhhh. Dodging the police at closing time and before that period in time the poor residents of Warwick St(?) the road behind being one open cruising walk till the early hours. All the leather queens camping it up, m/cycle helmets carried in a supermarket plastic bag(usually came on the tube/bus) in case they picked up. The Colherne so ram packed, big horseshoe bar, the squeezing to get through the crowd, groped/gropings on the way, all heady times to an out of towner(me) on a weekend visit. I'm sure the modern youth will make thier own memories too now. Cheers DougT đŸ‡«đŸ‡´
Lubbly Jubbly as Del Boy would say, (Google it!!!)
Now have I got some ramblings to post on about the main đŸŒˆ area in London from the 60's onwards. The (in)famous Colherne pub and YT anecdotes from people from the time. Think of the Stonewall or Baby Cakes era of our history in and around Earls Court a long time before the đŸŒˆ life moved into the West End/Soho. Earls Court started like as a cosmopolitan area with the Australians coming over for extended visits and touring UK in campervans etc. Earls Court Road was like an extension of Sidney and the road was full of Aussies selling cars/vans/campers before returning to Oz. Such social history from times long gone. Oh and don't forget Princess Di lived in the area before she was mated to Charles. Cheers DougT đŸ‡«đŸ‡´
You're a fountain of knowledge and pop culture classsics. As an amateur Angophile, I appreciate the history lessons. I googled Del Boy and his ramblings. I think I had to be there. But I'm all up to speed on Little Britain if that's any help. lol
Enjoyed the replays.
