Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 It's never dull when BBS is around with his posse.

Master Bates Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 I like The Haunch of Venison, a rather 'handy' place to go.
dubai_phil Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 Salisbury is a fantastic City 1) To take a tourist 2) To Leave 40 years of Nimby's strangling it to death with traffic and arcane development which has left them with the city center they deserve every evening after 11:00pm took me 34 years to get away from it.
Dog Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 Whats the name of the pub on the council estate? Something moon rings a bell. Went in the once, and ended up having a threesome with two Milfs. It was like the top of a wellington boot. A bit of a dump.
KK the 2nd Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 I like The Haunch of Venison, a rather 'handy' place to go. Haven't been there for years but remember the Haunch of Venison as an excellent pub. Also used to enjoy Salisbury races. In the old days you would see a lot of the Saints players there for the midweek fixtures or at the weekends in the summer.
Spudders Posted 11 October, 2008 Posted 11 October, 2008 It's never dull when BBS is around with his posse. I'm doing the Salisbury half marathon next weekend, I'll keep an eye out for him
hamster Posted 12 October, 2008 Posted 12 October, 2008 I like The Haunch of Venison, a rather 'handy' place to go. Do you know what? I saw a prog about a pub with the severed hand of a gambler within, and have tried to find it believing it to have been in Winchester! (Google was no help) Reading your post has just reminded me that it is actuually in Salisbury. I am most grateful and will visit at the next opportunity to see said hand. Anyone know the full story so that I can impress Mrs H when we get there please?

Anyone know the full story so that I can impress Mrs H when we get there please? Yeah, the gambler cheated so they cut orf his hand. It is thought that there are two wandering spirits: the Grey Lady, who is searching for her child; and the Demented Whist Player who is tormented by the loss of his hand, severed in a card game due to cheating. In the House of Lords is a mummified hand discovered in the 19th Century, which may have belonged to the ghost. In March 2004 it was stolen feared never to be returned but reappeaed in mysterious circumstances 6 weeks later. Edited 12 October, 2008 by Master Bates
