Aye, the amount of shite cock-rock going about was woeful. Cover versions of Bon Jovi and Cinderella. But it did bring the girls out to play. Getting a blowjob from some random bint under the fire escape stairs, off my fucking teats on acid, in the pishing rain, while her mate was screaming at her to hurry up for the taxi, remains a great and abiding memory of the Rosie. Near plummeted to my death down those back stairs manys a night too. Cowboy boots in icy weather on a metal staircase lugging a mate's cab. Smart combo.
That, and several bouts of food-poisoning from the rancid Chinese beside the joint. Actually shat myself walking home across the bridge at the bottom of Sunnyside Street one night, and managed to save the jeans by wheeking off the shorts and lobbing them into the Lagan.
Ah great days, Eddie, great days. Stick your Rainbow Bar & Grill. Had nothing on a good Saturday night in the Rosetta  |

Sid, if you combine those stories into one night then it would be one of the best metal gig stories ever told.
Always had good craic in the Rosie, wether it was bunged or low turnout.
The chinese next door was rancid at all. I loved that place. When I worked in the Rosie I would always nip in for my dinner, pretty much every shift. Chicken balls, chips, rice, curry sauce. Sorted! |

If you had shit yourself while getting a blowjob, you would be my hero. |

Maybe the Chinese changed hands from the late 80's then, but it was fucking dire back then. By the time you'd get a curry chip from there to upstairs in the Rosie, it was one congealed mass of gelatinous goo. And that greasy chicken muck was never fucking chicken, by the way. I suspect a hearty mix of pigeon, seagull and Mr Tiddles. It must have improved over the years. |

Fnar Fnar!
The alley way up beside the off license was a favourite spot for the occasional "romantic" moment. I remember buying a cpl of packets of rizlas out of the off license once and the girl asks me "what are those for" and i replied "marijuana" and the bitch barred me. |

Very handy offie. I will admit that the odd half-bottle was smuggled in from there to make the entertainment fund go that bit further. The crotch-bulge in skin tight jeans was impressive, but in fact made mostly of whiskey. 
In fact, before the doors at 9 or whenever they were, the pre-drinking drinking facilities in the car park were excellent thanks to Russell's Cellars.
As for the rizla, Doc, there was still SUS laws or whatever they were at that time, meaning that the RUC stopped and searched every longhair walking around. Every shopkeeper gave you the evil eye when you bought skins without tobacco. Strange to think of it now. I walked past two spides in their early teens the other day and the stench of grass wafting off them was something unreal. Back then, you hid your eighth or fucking ten-deal down the side of your hi-techs for fear of being stopped by the feds
Ah nostalgia, reckon I'll crank up some Dokken and Quiet Riot when I get home, and try and simulate the effects of a couple of bottles of Clan Dew by drinking some oven cleaner and dropping a breeze block on my head. |

You're right about the RUC Sid. If I'd a Pound for everytime they stopped me & the mates & made us take off our Boots & Socks I could have a good night out. I remember one night we gave them false names at a checkpoint along the lines of James Hetfield, Angus Young & Ozzy Ozbourne etc. The Cop turned round & went 'Try again lads, your mates gave us those earlier'.

Quote of the month candidate imo. I do miss the place & the craic that we had in it. |
