"Jesus, what a bunch of whining twats......"
A review of The Man on the Moon by Doc - Tuesday 23rd of October 2007
So a few youngsters take refuge in the pub; so **** what?!
The previous reviews read like the morose grumblings of those in their early twenties who cannot bear the thought that people younger than them have the audacity to work out a way of having a cheeky drink.
I suspect that they too did much the same thing a few years previous and feel like their great "idea" to find a youth-friendly pub has been stolen by some upstarts.
Personally, I would much rather see young people behaving themselves in a pub (as they invariably do, for fear of being caught out) than marauding the streets (with much cheaper and more easily accessible booze by the way) acting like extras from Mad Max II and behaving like their **** doesn't stink.
The Man On The Moon is a fairly grubby boozer, but it has character and it supports local music, something that can only be encouraged. If you have a chip on your shoulder about "yoof" being proactive in their drinking behaviour then I suggest you piss off up the road to one of the pubs filled with braying ex-public school toffs who are old enough to drink, but (in my eyes at least) far more irritating to be within ten feet of.
For the record, I'm 32 and have never been offered a hand job by a 13 year old and I'm even the singer in a band, so I must be doing something wrong during my enjoyable times spent in TMOTM.........
